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

Starwolf · ‎23-12-2016

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.

I agree. I saw a new dr today.got a ct scan for my lung problem and blood tests for my thyroid. At least he said he will do the plan for me next friday and he knows a very good psychologist for me. .she specializes in anger management lol. Like the movie .
