Before I am Famous

literature is something we infer after the story is told

I was pondering lately…

 

I have been thinking about the story that I wrote for the writing contest. I really like the stroy and I think that there is some pontential to turn it into something more. See, I am the kind of writer who is very detail oriented. This might be one reason that I have yet to finish a novel. Believe it or not, I am working on a novel and I really like that story.

Did you ever read or see The Tommyknockers a story written by Stephen King? Well the main character is a writer and he has this machines courtesy of the tommyknockers where it will type his story by reading his mind. That is what I need. Because my brain works faster than my hands do.

Well anyway, a little tangent there. The story I wrote is posted a week or so back and the word limit was 1,000. So obviously there is much room for growth. First I was thinking to turn the story into a screenplay because I think that is a very visual story but now I am thinking turning it into a long story maybe novel and try selling to it someone to make into a movie.

Writing a novel is a huge undertaking and the more that I am working on my own, the more I appreciate the writers that writer novels for a living. I never when is too much or not enough. Like I said, I like a lot of detail because it allows the story to come alive. At least, I think so. The weekly story I am writing right now is a much shortened version of what I can do.

But that story is a little different, people aren’t going to want to read a huge chapter before onto the next blog. Well I think soon, I work on my new novel. Since I write it out on paper first, I know very old school, if I don’t post for a couple of days, my arthritis is more than likely acting up.

Have a great day everyone!!!
