181 : I am stronger than my father.

I get the feeling that if ( somehow ) a publisher does decide to take on my work and publish it, only they get to decide what the subtitle will be.

"I am stronger than my father" is something I thought up when I woke up from yet another dream of unresolved issues with - the person in question.

Before he died, there wasn't much of a window between the time I finally felt I was stronger and more aggresive...

Another change I'm making with this novel still being the early stages, is the issue of a love interest.

Question : Do I write myself one or not?

I decided the answer is " yes and no ".

The way I'm thinking of writing it may be interesting to the reader, keeping in mind any person, particularly a love interest has to be given depth on paper. A writer has to create more to a person than just what they say and do as it relates to a story.

So far I've only gotten to page two. An extremely slow tedious process.
I can say though that in re-writing page one, I feel much better about the
" picturesque " appearance the first paragraph has in terms of just words.


One thing I haven't expected though.

My plan initially is to incorporate some of my poems into the fabric of the storyline, so far I've used two poems in the second page and I notice much of what I wrote in the poem...

Page One is finally complete, it's a little difficult because I'm constantly thinking of the best and most presentable way to open the story.

The page in its totality. Each and every sentence has to sound comfortable as I read it.

To anyone interested, I'll be using some of the material in my past poems as part of the material to the story.

Up unitl now, it was my short-term goal ( as far as writing was concerned ) to get noticed by literary agents and publishers. I wanted ( and still want ) to write an autobiographic novel, loosely based on my short-films titled :

Internal Conflict which depicts...
