I promised myself that I would upload a blog here everyday, and well, evidently I haven't but I'll start making an effort to try. No matter how short it is. So here I am, excusing myself from assignments, reading and homework for a break to write.
I'm thinking about writing a novel length story. I have half-written one before, but then the plot just became waaay to complicated and I drove myself into a rut. I never finished that story because the plot was simply too ambitious for my abilites. I have a few rough ideas formulating in my mind, the story will be fantasy of course, seeing as it is my favourite genre. I'm beginning to study the mythology of other religions and regions of the world to gain inspiration, because seriously, who wants another medieval fantasy? I mean there will be that type of fantasy influence permeating it but... I'm sick of reading about some Lord guy or princess that gets cursed by the hideous hag or cheeky elf. I'm not belittling that in anyway, I just want to deviate from that typical fantasy genre. Now I'll be doing meticulous planning, which I understand will take time, but will avoid writers blocks and lengthy "dragging-on-ness" We've been learning about Aboriginal segregation throughout the 1900s in Australia, so I want to encompass the themes of actual history, which will be a major basis of my story. I'm thinking, Dark/Fantasy/Romance. The themes I'm also considering are actually quite ambitious for me... I'm rather afraid that I won't be able to pull it off, considering my age and lack of experience. But I've been writing stories since the age of 9 so I guess I'll just have to work at it. I know it will be a long project that will invest much of my time, but I know it will be worth it.
Wish me luck! :D
