Hello i wrote a fantasy novel.only 23 chapters.based on my life.some years ago.it was fun.i was told i had a unique way of turning my self diagnosis into multi charachter form .and bringing the many MEs to life.and putting the demons to rest.all in multiple stories.each chapter was a diferent dimension.representing stages of my life. I made up ulter egos.god like heros.evel green tree monkeys that laughed at my misfortunes. Lol. Even a skye that turned into a cinema screen over the ocean.to reveal clues of what might be in.my future.another chapter i was a silver bird.asking mother turtle for guidence to help find my soulmate.there was a thor like hero that hit the ground with a staff and the earyh cracked open so i could escape.i rescued my young self from making a dreadful decision of self harm.each chapter ended with a crackling and thump.of the door being pounded in the real world.TIME TO GO TO WORK.! The book was partly published in university papers. Anybody else tried writing a novel? Its fun....max

Hey Max

You are talented to have even started to write a novel let alone completing it. I love the green monkeys having a laugh and also the sky being a cinema screen.

All I have written are reports and analysis studies for directors (ugh..how boring)

Nice1 being so creative Max!, Paul

Dear Max, how creative of you. You have so much to share ...

This lone wolf is also a writer. I mostly used to contribute articles to esoteric subscription mags, both here and overseas. I also almost completed a work of "fiction" where in fact everything had happened in reality. Is there such thing as fiction ? I had to interrupt it many years ago when I became sole carer to a daughter with brain injury. Completing it now would result in a disjointed work as I am not the same person I was some 20 years ago...too much raging water has gone under that bridge since !

Part published in uni papers? Wow, you succeeded way better than I did.

And yeah, I fully agree...writing is therapeutic. Not only does it clarify our own thoughts but it also acquires its own momentum and sweeps us in its flow...taking us to places we never thought existed. may it be for future publication or self-therapy, I highly recommend it.

Thank you for initiating another interesting thread.

Thanks guys for your feedback. Lonewolf? Hope i got your name right. Sad to hear about your girls problem. My two girls are all grown up now. One has issues accepting that i dont get on with her mum....when ever i meet a new lady she moves in like a Shark. Lol .about the writing. I have always dreamt in colors.and i create the scene .the story.and characters before i sleep.then.it happens.like im in a huge movie.i awake and i remember some things worth wrting about.in story form or songs .or art. At about 15 yo i found i could do most of this while awake.so i became only interested in creating things.not schoolwork. I was labeled a dumby.a dreamer.all kinds of things.but i beat them all in sports and surfing. At 26 yo i did my adult senior high school at home.correspondence. 11/12. Combined..then i went to sports college to study sports injury prevention.i just failed physiology. Passed anatomy. It was too stressful at the time.going through a divorce. But i know im not a dumby. Max

To answer your threads question, yes I have. Ii call it boxrep's recovery journey". Its a personal account of going through life with a mental illness. I too have found it therapeutic and I have converted the blog entries into a book where it sits proudly on my bookshelf.

I haven't been creative as you as I found entertaining my apparent hallucinations in such a format as "triggering"...I tried to keep it as real and believable as I could (boring I know).

I recommend writing your own story any which way you want, I have found it a good way to spend time and a great past time/hobby...who know's maybe one of our stories will fall in the right hands one day and we become rich and famous for it...hmmm maybe something to think and write about...if only...sigh.

Novel entry....dream of the magical touch" by WMR. Lost. in a world i dont belong. turbulant clouds roll like breakers on a distant beach. All converging into one massive vortex that spits out pink and green face like vapors. Echoes of strange laughters in the tree tops.flashes of green hughs and swishing tails.."Lost are you? Need help i would say! synical laughter .chuckles and heckles."lets take wages on how long THIS ONE survives" hahaha hehehaaaa!!! .....

Thanks Paul.my spell check on.my Samsung plays up.so thats why my spelling isnt good. My grandma was very creative.i was raised by her. She made me write stories alot and scetch at home.eventually i was getting good marks at creative writing. Im self taught at music.and art. I beleive the more sensitive a person is.the more creative they are.but also the more they suffer.because the world tries to step on us. Max

I agree that insight and sensitivity are necessary ingredients of creativity. Thank you for sharing both around these forums. Being raised by a caring, creative grandma has been a blessing.

I'm also with you about sensitivity making us vulnerable. It is also true that -with persistent work- we can gradually build up emotional immunity without having to numb feelings. Hard work but well worth the effort.

A peaceful day to you.

What do you know I found someone like me. Well...I haven't written a complete novel yet but I have written myself a few chapters. There were very few people in my life who found my fictional characters interesting. Many of my friends don't like reading which is a shame. I plan on creating my stories into an animation...that is with enough time and skill....I could achieve this goal and show it to my audience.

Dear Angra Mainyou

I answered your other post in 'Getting to know you' before seeing you here and I'm very glad you've found a place with people you can relate too. As part of my day job I look at a fair number of animations each year from students in their final year at school and have found some of them amazing, no real equipment or expensive software, just talent and having something to say that has a hint of the universal - set out in an interesting way.

Do you have a theme or set of themes you are considering, character delineations or plot strategies? Do you think it more practical in your circumstances to set the material down in written form first, or storyboard and go straight to animation?

I'd be most interested to know

My best wishes

Croix

Hi all, interesting thread.

I haven't written a book or novel, but I've written small stories, mostly when I was at school. I write sometimes, mostly rhyming poetry about my feelings. I'd share some but it's pretty dark.

Good on you all for writing books and novels, they sound interesting, that would take lots of time and thought, so well done!

Hi everyone!

I've finished one novel/book. Wrote it back when I was a teenager. It is a mystery type story. Unpublished... it would need a lot of editing if it were to be published.

Awesome to hear all of your experiences with writing!

Hi everyone

I'm new here also.

I have been asked to write a few different books but I would love to turn a dream I had into an animation. It's actually about a dark topic but ends well! Nothing like a happy ending just like in the movies lol.

Are we allowed to ask if anyone has contacts in the creating animations world? If we are allowed, does anyone have any? lol. I have only contacted 1 animator of whom I LOVED their animation style but it was only a hobby to them so the answer was no.

Another pretty serious book I was asked to write is about the strategies I made up to heal. I would rather be A LOT stronger before writing such a book but the psychologist and counsellor who asked me to write it would like it sooner rather than later. Maybe there is no better time than the present.

One of my children and I are planning a Vlog together but not until after she completes her studies in ….. drum roll.... yep psychology lol. She said she has had PLENTY of people to use as case studies in my family over her life time. mmmmm I'm sure there's a compliment hidden in there SOME where, still looking though lol. Kids hey? Who'd have 'em.

Well I've plastered my posts all over the forums after weeks of being too nervous to write anything.

Yours in a happier world with awesome books to read.
