Dream Journey.......My own struggle and question. To let it be or to let it go?
I've just re-read "Dream Journey".
The story that I've tried to write into a story from a planned-to-be manga/comic.
And I just see all kinds of flaws and weird phrases and wrong prepositions.
I think..........Well, the first chapter was ok to go with, there was nothing much to write about, but then.........
It was CRAP.
CRAP and DISASTROUS.
Characterization went over the top.
People who were supposed to be formal and so were OUT of character!!!!!!
I can just FEEL it. They're just so out of character that I actually winced and wanted to laugh when I read it.
What should I do?
Actually, I am thinking of giving the whole thing up.
Well, not the WHOLE thing. I'll keep some of the plots and people and so.....and write a new story that is forming in my mind.
But then, if I were to use the plots or characters or that kind of thing from Dream Journey, I'd have to give up the original characters or the characters that I won't be able to use in my new story......
I feel abit ashamed to give up on them.
But then, it may not be a bad thing after all.
Not many writers get to finish all their stories they've set out.
Sometimes you just mess it up and write yourself into a corner that you don't know what to do with it.
This time, I'm facing such problem as well..........
Maybe I'll go write about something after or before the events of this part I have started to write on.
Then, things would somehow be better....or not.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, now I think I have made up my mind........XXDDDDDD
Maybe, I'll try writing on in my present level............then the first five chapters will look really stupid..XD
Never mind that, I just want to finish this story actually.......Really, I loved the idea from the start. And the characters just seem to be in my mind all the time(I'm not imagining things, mind you. I just happen to be thinklng about the story alot).
Actually, thank you. I just want to say thank you, although you didn't bother to carry on with it, you've given me the idea and the direction long ago. (Ignore this if you are Jamie...XXDD You won't know who I'm talking about!!!!)
Ya, really Thank You for giving me a childhood dream to carry on with.
And to those adorable characters, I just have to say that they are a part of my life in writing.
