My Writing Journey

I tend to space out whenever I feel bored. I feel bored most of the time.

Whenever I am in school, I space out all the time. So my mind starts to get creative at the time. That's when I think about stories. I imagine beautiful colors and characters running around my head. I create a world and its like I am watching a movie within my mind. I exist physically in school but mentally I am in my world. My imagination is my happy place.

I wanted to show this imagination to people. But how? I wished to show it as a movie or as a comic. I wanted to show the same thing I imagine to others. But I can neither make a movie nor know how to draw. So I thought of writing. Somehow try to paint a picture with words. But so far I don't know how it's going.

I am not completely good with words and it feels like only I will be able to understand my stories. I don't make stories stuck to reality. I always add some fantasy to it and describing fantasy is world. While I might imagine something, the person who reads what I wrote might imagine something completely different. I am not a professional writer.

I never wrote stories much until now because I didn't know how to explain some stuff in words. Some stuff you see can't be expressed in words, in my opinion. Whenever I watch a movie I try to translate the magic stuff going on in words and its impossible to translate it sometimes. I have read enough fantasy, unreal books and I am still confused as to how it is written and how I imagined correctly as to how it was described.

There are some scenes of my story I would wish to draw and show as I had no idea to explain it in words. Some things which I try to explain would end up only being understandable to me and not to an average reader. I always thought this was a lost cause but I still gave it a try. I tried to translate my imagination in words and now that I have already started, I should finish it.

If I had the ability to draw, I could have made comics which would have been easier to read and understand the events going on. As for novels, there should be a good set of words to give the reader a clear cut image of what's happening in the story and I feel like I am failing at times. Sometimes I give up explaining a complicated scene and remove those kind of scenes and replace it with something simple so it is easy to explain and I hate that. To me, it ruins the story and there were times I did it. As I said again, this is only my beginning and this is a learning process. I learn more as I write more.

I hope you enjoyed and understood the stories I published so far :)
