Is that a real thing? I don't know but I have been going through IT.
"Around and around we spin, with feet of lead, and wings of tin." -Kurt Vonnegut
I just graduated from college and am in an eddy of confusion. It's like a glass case of emotion, but more fluid. Here I was, all college learned, and ready to jump into the fray, but I can't find a diving board that says decision, they all say choice. Some of them are black spots meant only for ignoring, others are fraught with danger, some look like the cardboard comfort of a life half lived, but to decide! It feel like if I would just pick one and go that would solve much, and soothe the rancor that has penetrated every last bit of life as I know it.
How do you write the pages so the story sounds like everything good stories have in real time? Currently, the lead character is going through some identity crisis, but that is good for tension, and if getting ready to maneuver into maybe a monomyth?! Anyone?! That could be too lofty of heights, but they didn't write a hero cycle for the extraordinarily ordinary. Well, since they might have, those giants of literature, and I haven't found it yet, we'll stick with the hero cycle. (always should root for the home team- PA-CHOW!)
As I see it, the back story is set. There is location, supporting characters, several defining plot twists that make the lead more exciting, and the preparation for departure is complete! (Read: no more college).
"Hello?"
"Hello?! Is that you, adventure, calling?!?"
"Ah, so it is. Well, I hate to mention this, but, you have the wrong number here! And besides we don't take calls from your kind. Safety and security are the brands we trust."
Alright, so that is kinda cheesy, but the basic point is there! Now to wait for supernatural invervention......
Stay tuned.
