When I look back in the past year, or so, I see in all of my short fiction writing one story. Every separate piece seems to be around one character who needs to be developed and put together. I’m now beginning to realize that maybe it is just one man, one story? Could I be beginning to see the beginning of a novel in the works?
I sure hope so. I love who this character is and want him to become more. I was just going through old writings and he is in at least five separate pieces. Is this how a novel happens? Or was I just unaware of my intentions through doing this? Or do I have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about?
I feel like everything I’ve written with him in it is really about me, which is just what makes me even more nervous.
What if I am just writing my own story? I used to believe all writers were doing this, but that’s not the case.
Anyways, the character is coming to life for me, and I am enjoying this. Hopefully over spring break I’ll get some time to myself, I mean when I’m not busy working on papers and a Linguistics Exam.
