Currently I am at the genesis of becoming a published author. I know nothing about this subject when it comes to publications, all I really know is how to write stories. My hope is to get my writing out there, and make some enjoyable stories for others to follow. I know that it is going to be long and arduous but I know I have a passion for this sort of thing. It’s often times what I find the most entertaining. The dictation of my thoughts onto a page via a keyboard makes me feel wonderful as if my creative voice is being sung at the top of my lungs but silently within the confines of my head. Here I go again, ranting and describing without a care about the actual point of a writing. I have a knack for details and love the depths of lore and that writing a story provides. You can give wonderful accurate descriptions of things. But in telling the public eye what projects, what arbitrations of the English language I am undertaking I have revealed an insight to myself that very few ever see. So thus let us expose some of the underbelly of my thoughts and shine a light on others. I feel I need to as it will better rationalize and keep me up to date with my writings. Otherwise I will fall behind on them.
One of the many things I have started writing about is a technical excerpt that gives an in depth breakdown and insight on a specific tool and its many uses in the workplace of a computer repair technician. I save some key attributes of course for myself and to entice readers in as I believe it to be an interesting endeavor and story. Though it is meant to be more of a technical know how. Alas, I mustn’t divulge too much about it otherwise it is spoiled. Hopefully I can finish this rather soon.
Another project of mine toys with an experience I had while watching multiple movies back to back that shouldn’t be watched in union. However I went and did such so the inspiration to write a story about a man that experiences a crazy life came to me in a dream following my viewing party. I can not discuss the nature of these movies nor the book from which I wish to write about but I can say that this story will take some time to write. So do not be looking for it for some time sadly.
To say my third writing project is going to take some time is an understatement. It is a piece of an actively evolving stream of conscience which I experience. The title of the book might be a fallacy as the adversary depicted in the book is something not easily snuffed out. This is ok, but it too will take some time to write.
My fourth writing project involves the issues I incur everyday and serves as a sort of output for my anxiety surrounding life. Its negative viewpoints serve as an altered perspective, through the use of therapy I have come to realize that I need an outlet for my anger and other emotions so it serves as a book to be written about with harsh tones. I know not if it will ever see the light of day. I hope it does as it might help others but I will not miss a day of sleep if it does not. As a writer I think it’s important to have many books to work on. Some published, some not.
I have started a different project as well. Most of my other projects are more related to the world around us or things I observe and serve to you the reader as an allegory or some other tale to keep you enthralled in interesting life like writing. However, this one is not such. It is a high fantasy story that involves some rather funny things, but also a plot that I find interesting myself. If I have my way then it will be a series, however you never know with these things. I might change the ending or I might stick to my initial one. Who knows!
The sixth project stemmed from a rather interesting thing, it is also an active project that involves outside information and other things. It is going to serve as a technical breakdown and a journey I took to achieve a goal. Hopefully it will be filled with interesting things that have many bases in reality. Maybe even a follow along thing at home. This one will take a while as well.
And finally, a project that will probably expand into a series of projects is the final project I will be working on currently. It is something rather interesting. I hope to write an ongoing series about a detective solving mysteries. I like to think of it as a Sherlock Holmes meets A to Z mysteries meets Cthulhu meets Magic Treehouse type of thing. The target audience should be young adults who want to find a thrilling and funny mystery series. My hope is that it will be long and fun and filled with adventures. I am not at liberty to share all the details as of right now but I think it will be a wonderful reading experience!
Otherwise, of course I have ideas for writing. But these 7 shall stand as the beginnings of my writing career. I need to finish things before I start other things. I know I have used many vague terms to convey these projects, but that is the inherent nature to them. I can not reveal my books fully otherwise that wouldn’t entice people to read the stories I have carefully constructed now would it! Of course I have other ideas that I will pursue as I finish those, but those are for later and are merely ephemeral constructs floating in free space. Who knows when I get around to them. I hope to follow a sort of rule of 7. To always have 7 writing projects. Maybe eventually to publish 7 a year. Who knows, it’s complicated and wonderful in the writing world. And I think I am just crazy enough to do some of these things haha!
Thank you for entertaining my writing today, now please go read some more of it!
