i have not written my book for over 2 weeks!
i was angry at myself for falling out of it and i forced myself to open my book and write
i felt like i was totally out of it and i felt like anything i wrote came out crappy.
hopefully as i write more my "writing muscles" will return
but im having a problem (whats new
)
i started the book with the feelings that it was to be for adults
my main character has already established how he is and in my head its hard to see him any other way (hope this makes sense- i know... i created him... an now i cant control him!)
he is 17 years old and i feel like hes a bit immature and i didnt want that
for instance i have him stuck in a room and he cant get out.
frantically, searching for a way out, he gets annoyed and out of anger yells and kicks the door hoping it would open.
is that immature or is that ok and this is all in my head?
i also gave him an imagination -a crazy one- but its kinda part of my story- his imagination always is there either in his way or helping him
like this:
after he kicked the door he stares at it and i write "the door just seemed to sneer back"
is that bad or is that mature and ok to write in an adult book?
and its just his attitude- because of this he seems always uneasy- but maybe its because im only in the second chapter -where you first meet him and he gets into big trouble and hes just in a bad mood and angry at everything-
im sure when he needs to get serious he will
hope this all isnt confusing
maybe i should actually write exactly what i wrote in areas
