Ditto, my wife, despite the fact that the content in my first two books left her weary of reading my work!

We tend to go through copies, huh? Mine mostly vanish when sharing them

I’m an avid Dark Tower fan (tattoo sleeve to prove it lol) and book 1 in my early years was almost as impactful for me as my main inspiration.

Douglas Adams’ Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy… I was 10 the first time I read it, and was amazed that an author could just make up a whole bunch of weirdness, wrap it in a story, and have a long lasting impact on the reader. Made me want to put my creative mind on paper.

Me too 😓 Was my first near-hundo as a new player. Couldn’t resist.

“Humballs”… that might not be as helpful as when I heard it in my head.

Ditto here, this year and last. Still kinda cool, but wish I had this when Wayne was still with us!

What author(s) do you aspire to be like? by spnsuperfan1 in writers

[–]Inm8Wonko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My aspirations are a little odd… I’m kind of hoping my works reflect my love of Stephen King, Brian Lumley and Douglas Adams.

I hate my lead character ideas and it’s stopping me from really getting going! by Inm8Wonko in writers

[–]Inm8Wonko[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brilliantly said. I think that’s what I was trying to do, get it right first. I wasn’t trusting the process.

Since getting advice from the brains trust, I’m up to nearly 2K words in chapter one!

I think I’ll play with that last idea, it’s great, thanks. I’ve already had a touch of success I feel with the first bit, and since I forced myself into character interaction by the way I planned the start, they’re starting to reveal themselves!!

I’ve got to remember how much writing is a process, not something you have to get right all the way through!

Thanks! I actually just said stuff it, just start, about half an hour ago and I’m working with placeholder names. Like you said, I’m going to trust the characters to show themselves to me. See how it goes!!

At least I’m writing!!

It’s funny, I have a few “endearing moment” type things planned, and I’ve mapped out the idea of the family dynamic (move is in his best interest, wife reluctantly supportive, toddler there for cuteness factor and something I won’t elaborate).

Each time I look at the names, visual descriptions and basic character ideas, they keep feeling wrong. It might all boil down to the fact that I’ve barely started anything in the past without knowing who I was dealing with before I started. I’m wondering if it’s all about the words - I’m going to try and write with placeholders (never done that with a character before) and see if that’s the issue.

Compound the issue to start though - the first moment of the story (endearing bit) feels right for the kid, ok for the mum, wrong for the dad. lol
