With this very sunny february here in Berlin and the fact that I have more time as usual to do things, I started writing again. Sun makes me go out and taking walks which in that case helps me to be creative and get my ideas how and what to write. May it be my blog or the books I am working at. Thought one book was meant to finally get its way to the world outside, I had to discover that part of it became lost when I did an update and I could not save it. Writing a book is a long process and a lot of work and to do it again to save up your work is for a moment a bit depressing but who knows why this was good at the end. Rewriting something maybe brings you a better book at the end.
But then next to this I started a couple of weeks ago to take up again my work on a thriller, which I started last year. Now I feel I will finish this little book soon and hope to find a way to bring it out to you.
I have already written thriller but all of them went into garbage as I never was really happy with them. Then one day I understood why I liked some of the thrillers I read and why I did not feel the same with others. It seems that you must have a good fantasy and logic chills or you have to know the subject by yourself. Many thriller are also god as the writer work much like journalist before they actually write the book itself.
But I guess above the future and fantasy books, most will have something inside from the writer itself. The rest is more or lesson, heard, read and learned.
Yes, writing is fun and work in the same time for me and I also read a lot which in its way helped me to develop my own chills to become much better and to understand how you could make a book.
But that does not mean you know your style as you just have to try which fits you in the end. Also you will learn much about what kind of level you want to work. Is it Rosamunde Pilcher, Jane Austen or Stephen King? Is it James Joyce or Michael Moore. Will you do -shades of gray- or getting up with your level to Hermann Hesse?
The level does not tell you how successful you will be at the end. Much is luck and the right topic. But then writing is best when you do it from your own and just for fun, thought we all hope to make money with this but more we hope as much people will read it and LIKE it.
The biggest fear lies in exactly that fact. Will someone like my book?
How hard it can be book after book you wanna know. Well, I have a friend, he writes more and more, becomes better and better but wonders all the time so he writes about this in his blog: http://blog.hirschi.se/ Follow him in his process as an author.
I like to follow his way as it is always interesting to see where others are going, how they survive and what they know, what I don't. I like to know where they got the ideas and where problems lies on the way.
I get my ideas from my own experiences and looking around. As many writers the life of family and friends is stuff to write down. Sometimes.
But most inspiring is nature for me, which also gives me much power to actually do my work. Walking around in spring is something which gives me always joy and hope and the patience to go on.
Tulips therefore these days remind me that life is an ongoing and beauty thing. Even thought you have to get through your onionskin. Very much like writing.
LOVE & LIGHT
