Writing, the Novel; The First Experiment, Can I Write Fiction? 07/12/2010
 
Picture
I wrote, tonight, long hand, on paper, about 887 words that might form an opening passage to a novel (just might), if they are not too morbid and lacking in action.  I think I need to type them out now, and submit them to several friends I trust and ask them for some very harsh honest constrictive criticism, as to if I am capable of writing fiction and enticing an audience past the first 877 words to get into the story. Also wondering who is going to sue me, who is left alive, that I am writing about, to sue me, if I write this fiction loosely based on fact, novel?  I am not writing this about any actual people and yet it will be loosely, semi autobiographical.  

There will be some people alive who may recognize characters, in the novel I am writing, who are similar, to them, only by their position in a family or a professions, a name I like, or temperament. A lot of artistic license will have been, used, as I substitute, the nature and actions of one individual from another time and space into the character I create in the page of my novel. No person in my novel actually exists.

I am starting to think that authors who write about vampires are smart, as they will not, be accused, of writing about real people. lol, I want to write a novel, not fantasy, so I draw on life and will accept the risk of being accused of writing abut real people, because if I do not start, because I intend to draw on my own life experiences for story line, the novels with in me, will never be written. For this purpose, my characters and stories will be interchanged until the character within my book is pure fiction. 

I have four people in mind, I could ask, to guide me with the current question, 'Is my fiction writing, good enough',  they all have the skill to constructively critique, my possible opening lines These four friends, all have a different writing style they are all gifted writers. Will they be brutally honest with me and not spare my feelings though? What I need, once I type these opening pages into a readable draft, is to have them proof read with a zealous, clean them up of drivel, with the  effectiveness of a best acne treatments and give me a very honest critique opinion, of if I am capable of writing decent fiction’.

I guess that is the next stage of my novel writing, to find that one piece of information out before I go on any further.

And now, for they 'dyslectic  clause’ J . I write despite dyslexia, because, I love to write.

I strive to eliminate, my typos, but if I should miss any bad ones and you care to send me, a message, through my contact me page, above, with the information, about the error so I can correct it, and you also send me your mailing address, I will send you one of the fridge magnets, from my art work, as a thank you :-)
