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

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

Yes numerous. I wrote one then continued on. You get so engrossed - I had large chronic illness nd free a couple of years wrote fictional thriller. Some not worthwhile other books good

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.
