Back to My Passion

I’m always been told I have an excellent imagination and for that I am thankful. But having vivid thoughts and putting them to paper is quite different. I can imagine the chill in the air, how my warm breath fogs the mirror, and even shiver at my imagined scene, but describing it in words is something I’m not good at doing. This is why I write sudden-fiction, which is a style of writing that leaves more to the imagination of the reader than to the writer. However, I see everything clearly within my mind, it’s just the process of expressing it on paper I find difficult.

In one of my first blog posts ever, I wrote a scene written in two different ways: regular fiction and sudden fiction. And though I prefer one style to the other, I've trying to slowly switch to the other or at least incorporate it further into my preference. It’s not easy for me. I don’t like describing the minute details of things, but for my vocabulary to grow I need to expand my style a bit. In conjunction with that, I also need to read more.

Lately, as previous blog entries have alluded to, I've been in editing mode for over a year, though I have delved into writing Burden at times. This will end soon. I will get Limbus and Azazel out through my publisher. Then I’ll put out Beginnings and Ferryman. After that, I think I’ll take some time to read a book or too. Maybe I’ll come up with a few more ideas or maybe I’ll be inspired to finish Burden, I don’t know.

And maybe, just maybe, I’ll start editing my series of nine called Shadow Gods. No matter what, though, I will work on my style; refine it, test it, play with it a bit, and see where it will take me. In the end, I hope I’ll be a better writer for it. If not, then I hope it’ll be a good vacation from my passion.
