Hello,
I have a question, but first I will brief you a little. It’s a large post, sorry for that, and I will therefore post two/three separate comments, simply to post it all.
This is [ Part 1 of 2/3 ]
I’ve never read a book, I actually find it quite boring, perhaps because I’ve never really given it a go, although, I do enjoy a good story, I tend to watch a lot of films, all types, and I believe I have quite a creative and imaginative mind and think that I could write a really good story, something epic, I don’t wish to appear ignorant or anything but, keeping in the back of my mind that it’ll be an epic read/story whilst creating something and typing it up, can’t do any harm, surely…
Anyway, the novel I am writing is a sci-fi psychological romance, I think that genre title is accurate, at least with what I have in mind, I think it will be one of those that messes with your head a little from the moment you start to get into the story, I’m trying to get that imprint on your mind that something is missing, without clearly indicating what so ever, that anything is in-fact missing, you should be hooked, eager to know how the story ends, by the time you’re at the end of the book, it should leave you feeling, quite literally, speechless, with just a slightly open mouth and that faint smile, with only one word bouncing around “wow…” Or so… that’s my intention, to create a simply superb story, I’m being highly ambitious with it, time will tell whether or not that was a good choice.
My question is this, I would really like someone I could speak to every now and then on a one-one basis, a few e-mails perhaps every few months, a little catch up, but the idea is that, if you’re writing a book, I could do the same for you in return of course, and that is for you to read what I have written so far, and give any feedback, anything at all, is it interesting to you, does it seem to go off track and not make sense, would you classify it as a different genre, thing like this, just some good old fashioned feedback. I’m looking for a few people ideally, as oppose to just one person. I will paste a small amount of the novel so far below, to give you an idea, I will happily mention the idea for the plot/twist in a one-one email, to give you a better idea as to where it’s heading, I think knowing that makes the below story so far, more interesting, because knowing how it will end, or at least, having an idea how it will end, knowing the plot/twist, makes the current story make more sense, gives more depth straight away, and just, more interesting I think, I might be too close to this, that’s why I want a few other readers, testers if you will. Unsure if to publicly post the plot/twist idea…?
Regardless what you think the story is about, I can almost guarantee you’re wrong, the finished product, the story should be 99.99% different than what you originally thought it would be having read the below, the twist, the plot, the turn of the story, the “end” of the story, I feel is incredible, and leaning more towards the unexpected.
Perhaps the opening for the book should be “Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith and decide on your own, although, I almost want to tell you to continue reading, because I want to blow your mind.”
Sorry for the large post. I will be looking at perfecting this story over time, including my writing technique, this is just a rough copy, idea.. Any and all feedback will be appreciated.
And let me know if you want to exchange emails or something.
Thank you,
Michael.
