Anyhow, my love for this singer was so big that I decided to try it out, and that’s how hell began. I got addicted to this stories, no matter how cringe they were, or how unrealistic, I loved them. But just reading them wasn’t enough. So… I started writing my own fan fictions and posting them on the internet. Of course, I have already deleted them all, but back then the feeling of creating something out of my own imagination was enough to give me confidence, to make me feel like a real author –an author who didn’t know a thing about synonyms or character building, but an author in the end.
With the time, I expanded my reading to other genres. I started reading real books. So the more I got into fantasy, or sci-fi, or contemporary the more my mind worked, and the more I wanted to create my own stories. To build my own world with its laws and characters. And, even now that the years have passed by, that feeling of excitement that pops in me whenever a get a new idea and decide to write it down hasn’t left. I hope it never does.
In this whole time, the few people that know I write have always asked me what I like so much about it. But then again, is there another answer besides everything? I mean, what’s better than give life to something that until now has only existed in your mind? And because it’s your story, you have full control on it. Not to be cocky or anything, but it’s like if you were God. And, when you live a life where you can’t control much, writing it’s a great escape. When you are having a bad day, it’s a great escape. When you have so much inside you and you don’t know what to do with it, it’s a great escape.
Back in the day, I used to read fanfiction because sometimes the stories where more interesting than some books I read when i was younger. I've always wanted to write something too, but I really think that's not for me.
ReplyDeleteIf you like it that much and you think you're good at it, you should publish a book someday maybe :-)
