I have just had a call which presents me with a MASSIVE opportunity to take me further in my writing "career" (I have so far just been doing it a hobby. I am going to be taking part in The Australian Chancelors Writing Competition. What this means is, they give me 8 months to write a novel of any genre (knowing me it will probs be something paranormal with a little action and romance mixed in for good measure). After I have submitted the transcript and a copy of the novel, including a cover design etc, they will read it and pass it along for a further 4 to 5 months. If I win, I not only get $20,000 but my novel gets published. YUKES!!!!
So as you can imagine, I am scrambling around in my head for some story line that will absolutely blow the socks off the adjudicators. I have been carrying a little notepad in my pocket for the last 2 days now, writing down strange things I overhear, dreams I have, things I see, strange characters etc. And let me tell you, it is so damn interesting how many odd things and people you come across in your everyday life that you never would have paid attention to before. You should try it, you would be amazed.
Everywhere I look now, I see a story fit for writing!
For example, I went to the doctor to pick up a prescription, and while in the waiting room I saw a poster saying "Medicine makes the weak stronger"...and a light bulb flashed above my head *pa ping* I started thinking about a futuristic story where the human race is in danger of become extinct because the continuous use of modern medicine weakened the human gene pool to such an extent that human can't function without medicine. And a group of people try to find a cure for this malady, and story is about the obstacles and adventures they go through. Intersting huh?
Anyway, I better go and figure out a storyline...
Adios you beautiful people
