Part 15
What I had realized in this relatively short journey of mine at the time was this. Even though I was not a fan of horror movies in general. I would fall asleep at The Conjuring no matter how scary it was. But I was drawn to the genre and most of my work in the back of my head was telling me I need to write horror.
Honestly, I was reluctant to enter that world because I was not a fan. But as things would have it, I went down the rabbit hole and eventually began to scrape away at the horror idea and I was having fun with it.
Most of the time, as I mentioned before I brew ideas in my head and these ideas were brewing…
I would have several ideas and plots in my head it was not hard to keep them separate. These plots were brewing in my head I continued with a teen story titled Four Letters. This too was a strong female lead and involved some bullying and revenge.
The revenge part of the book… Well as I look back I was most likely writing it with a touch of horror in mind.
Now I feel it was a setup for the next book. But at the time I was totally unaware of the horror aspect. But the way the main character acts and feels I will assume the horror genre was coming through. Four Letters is a teen-based story that deals with everyday life but with a twist.
“What would you do to a cheating ex if there were no consequences?”
Well, this story took a bit of a turn. About halfway through I took a turn. Though the book stayed true till the end it does have a touch of anger, revenge and hate in it.
But I was almost in a hurry to finish Four letters since I had this other crazy idea already bursting at the seams. I am sure that we all feel a sense of accomplishment when we finish a book or even a project.
There is a sense of satisfaction and joy mixed with relief and sorrow. When the numerous characters no longer play. In Elax and the White Witch, it was the kids. Lina in Four Letters and so on. They are all an extension of you, us and our thoughts. So how I became a writer… Well in many ways it was accidental, it was choices and chances mixed in with much effort and determination.
But above all, what I learned and what the takeaway is, is that if you like to write, write.
It doesn’t matter what it is actually, if you like something, just do it. If it makes you happy, just do it.
