Why do i like writing fiction?

I was asked earlier why I like to write fiction and my answer was simply why not? I mean is there any reason out there not to enjoy writing fiction?

The thought of taking a story and making it your own, with whatever twists and turns you can come up with and never worrying that you are doing something wrong because the fact is that fiction isn’t fact, it blows my mind. If I was to write in any other genre I would most definatly stumble over legalities, what is correct and what isn’t etc. but with fiction the possibilities are endless!

I mean think about it, why can’t we have a book that starts with a romance story, then leads to introduce a vampire friend before zombies attack and it ends with a nuclear bomb destroying an alien invasion. Action packed yes although probably slightly confusing. But still possible!

I have a habit of spelling things incorrectly or saying the most stupid ideas that come to my head, do you know what that is called? Excitement. My fingers fly over the keyboard as I try to get all of the ideas out of my head and on file before they are gone forever and yes 70% of the time I will read through it later and think “What the ……” but the point is I am excited about fiction. Romance, mythological, historical, mystical, magical, adultery whatever you want to write about is possible with fiction.

My passion is to write and I write with passion. 🙂

Do you ever just sit and wonder about the world?

I do, I am definatly one to sit and lose myself in thought. But I think that is part of what makes me a writer. I mean my book might not be any good, it might not sell at all! But it is just a learning curve after all. I am determined to write books that people like and in my first attempt I take everything that I personally don’t like about books and change it. But… what I don’t like is probably what others like most. So as I say it’s a learning curve. Though my book will be short it is less detailed allowing the reader to imagine things however they like to!

But as I say others might like to have MORE details, I will find out when I get feedback. I also wonder about other types of books, and hope to write children’s books, teen fiction books, adult books and even comedy books! (I have my first comedy idea already).

So do you ever sit back and wonder about things? How was this drink in my hand created? Just how was that children’s playhouse built? I wonder if you could freeze jelly? Why is my sunburn tingles more in cold water than hot water? If everything has to have an end then where does space end, and what is beyond that, and surely THAT space has to end….? What if this universe we live in is really a cell for some gigantic creature? What if the sun explodes? What if I take this ice cube and add something fizzy to it? The world really is like a giant playground, so why am I so bored all of the time?!

I guess I am just deep in thought tonight but I have to say that everything out there is definatly worth a try, well…. Maybe not EVERYTHING! (cringes at some of the fetish’s known) I keep getting asked “What if you get bad feedback from the book? Won’t that upset you after all of the work you put in?” and my answer is this. Honestly. No it won’t, because the negative feedback is nothing but a lesson learnt, and we could all do with more of those when following our dreams! So if you read my book and you don’t like it, feel free to stop by on my facebook page (at the side of this blog) and say “hey, I didn’t like having to think up the characters descriptions / the way it rushed through it / the ending was predictable. Maybe next time jazz it up a bit.” Because at the end of the day, how can I teach my children to follow their hearts and take all the advice they can if I don’t do the same?

Thank you for reading yet another randomn thought of mine, and I am sorry to have bored you with it. J Its how the mind of a loner writer works sometimes ^_^
