Writing a story

Writing a story or a novel is not an easy task. A couple of minutes ago, I decided to actually write the story that I made up while I was day dreaming and it's freakin hard! I didn't expect it to be this hard. It's hard because unlike in day dreaming you don't actually need the actual location of the place. I don't need to know every single details about that place as long as I have this picture in my mind that would be enough.
In writing, you actually have to be knowledgeable about the place or the setting especially if your trying to write something that is real or at least when your using a setting that actually exist in real world. I have to google everything, and it's annoying. I realized that in writing something that is not fictional or something that could possibly happen you also need to have a clear picture of what you really want and you must have experience the place. How can you make it so realistic if you, yourself doesn't really know the actual feelings of it? So a writer must be a adventurer, a traveler, and a man who cherish every single feelings they have; whether it's painful or not. - Actually, I could write better when I'm in pain. I just loved it how much realization I have when I'm in pain. I mean when your in your happy mode you're so much into it and just embracing that moment. No reflections has been made just full of appreciation. Yes, it is good but still for me when I am in happy mode I couldn't write anything that actually make sense! Not all the times, though.

Anyways, back on my topic about how hard writing can be. I used to thought that you actually don't have to experience something in order for you to write it, and I was wrong you actually have to experience it. (I'm talking about non fiction here) You have to experience that exact feelings that you intended to write. Whether you experience it through life experiences or just by reading another novel or watching, the bottom line is you have to experience it, you have to feel it!

In writing a setting again, you have to know the place really well. You want your readers to actually picture the place and experience the place. So yea, I find this really hard. Having emotional tone in your writing can be easy because you set that emotional tone but in picturing a setting that you haven't seen is quite hard, thank God there's google! But still, google is not enough.


So I have that in the near future I can actually write the stories that I made up and have it published but first I have to go to the places that I dreamed of; the setting of my stories.

My past time

Whenever and wherever I go, I will always keep on dreaming... It doesn't matter if it's in a public vehicle or even while I'm walking, I will always find myself day dreaming but of course, I do it without others realizing it; I don't laugh or talk to myself while walking or when I'm in public places - I'm not that crazy. lol
Day dreaming become my past time. Before I sleep I will always imagine, in morning if I don't have classes I will just lay down and day dream or when I have a class, I day dreamed while traveling. This past time of mine is so addictive and mind you I don't just day dream, I make up stories! - Yea, a continuous one! So I decided to share the story that I made up.
