Danny Writes A Novel
Writing.
I've been writing since I was 11 years old, sharing my short-stories and little plays at school at 13, publishing my material at 18 and starting to do tours for it at 19. I enjoy writing. It's not as easy as it seems. I struggle terribly with stringing storylines together; I have so many ideas that it's sometimes difficult to have them all flow together. Writing novels is so different from doing these blogs or my poem type books. The flow is different.
Don't get me wrong, I love writing Happiness & Homicide, but sometimes it feels like, I dunno, too much of a challenge? There are ways that novels are written and there are times when I feel trapped within those confines. I'm kinda writing it like a telly programme in a way. There's far more wiggle room. It allows for me to move the characters around so that I can use them to express certain feelings or ideas. I had the original idea for Happiness and Homicide about 3, maybe 4 years ago and I've been writing it on and off ever since. Writing Wil is so freeing. It's a great way for me to express a lot of the things that I have trapped inside me.
I didn't think it through when I started it. I thought it was going to be easier when it seems. I have so many ideas for the book, for the character which is part of the issue I face. I've written so much material, enough for a book and a half at least, but it's trying to get it all together. I wrote the character to exist within reality, but are flexible so they can exist outside of reality's confines. Happiness & Homicide is actually the prequel to Wil and Friends that I originally published in 2010. Now that book is not available, totally discontinued it. Kinda ashamed of that, BUT! I'm going to be re-writing that story, it's so different from when I first started out. It's become something I'm really proud of. I've shared previews on here and I'm gonna keep writing previews for here for a bit longer before I stop them and put the book together.
I wish that I could just sit down and write this book like how I sat down and wrote the other ones. Novels are difficult for me. I should have put more thought into this before I set out to write it. Do you guys have this issue when you sit down to write? I think more writers have this issue than they care to admit. I dunno, really.
