Okay, obviously I didn't make my 90 day challenge. I realized that I don't need anyone's approval but my own. I am going to be a Career Novelist one day, and that is a fact. But in the meantime I'm not going to write anymore about getting things done in 90 days or following someone else's plan.
I have made my own plan and have started hacking away my own path through the jungle like maze we call the writing world. The truth is there is no one set way to tell a story. That is why we have classics and movies that are remembered years after they come out. Shakespeare is nothing like JK Rowling, or JRR Tolkien if they were exactly alike they wouldn't be popular.
So on that note, this is me. I have always gone to the beat of my own drum. I really don't care what other's think of me, if they like me, or hate me I don't care. Sure I'm flattered if I'm liked, and I accept compliments when I get them but your opinion doesn't hold any weight. I don't know you and you don't know me, so I don't value your opinion like I would my best friend or mother's. That is part of why I'm changing the name of the blog, not just because I'm tossing the idea but because I don't agree with it anymore.
The book was great, but it would have been more useful had I not had an idea in the first place. Although it was chalk full of great writing exercises, which I may use in the future. But for now I'm sticking with my plan. What's my plan?
Well...I decided I needed to start over, so since March I have been changing my story and changing things. I realized that I was starting in the wrong place, and went further into my main character's past. Currently the story starts with him in high school and follows him through a strange period in his life. He makes friends, meets a murderer, loses his Father (twice), gets trapped, then escapes to the city which is where I had originally started the story.
So for all you interested my story is about a Boy who becomes a Super Villain, although whether or not he is a Villain in the end is up to you. He is raised by a loving and sometimes overbearing Father, who at times seems a little controlling. The boy has had his share of problems though, when he was young his parents divorced and he blames himself for their broken family. He doesn't make friends easily, but two students from school are able to find a way into his heart, and become a trio of best buds. However the day a strange Detective comes into town hot on the trail of a serial killer, and the tragic murder of a Police Officer sets a chain of events into effect that will inevitably change his life forever.
I'm still working on writing a synopsis, but I figure that can wait till I'm done with my story since it keeps changing.
Anyway that's what I'm working on right now. but keep in mind I'm not just going to write about my stories on here.
I'll probably complain and whine about some trivial things no one cares to hear about, but that's most likely why I'm writing them here.
I almost forgot, my cold got worse it finally went away beginning of April. Then once I was finally getting back into be alive I was rear ended by a guy. He was looking at used cars in a car lot while driving...we stopped for a light and he didn't. He was going at least 40-50mph he swerved to miss us and scraped from about the middle all the way over to just above the back right tire. He then slid under the back of our car ruining our trunk and exposing his engine. Miraculously no airbags went off, and no one was seriously hurt.
My Mom and I had whiplash, and my shoulder hurt a little from the seatbelt....but that was at the end of April (Wednesday the 23rd to be exact) and my shoulder is still hurting. I had a Dye MRI a week and a half ago, but we are going to go see a new Doctor this week...which is a whole different story. which I'll have to tell you later...roommate is now trying to sleep. I miss having my own room!
Anyways Good Night!
