My Own Fiction Writing
The
topic of fiction is a large one. In particular, I have written science-fiction
and fantasy. All of my personal writings are first written in with pencil in
those 25 cent journals. The way the pencil feels in my hand and lead to paper
is a magical feeling. After writing by hand I would then go back and type it.
This allows me to check my ideas and catch some errors. My true first attempt
at writing for my own enjoyment start in middle school with a science-fiction book
called June 5th with aliens. Looking back at it, the grammar was
horrible and the way I thought of the story was scene to scene. I had not sat
down and really think in the long term where this was going. Now it sits
unfinished in my desk. My second attempt was called Blank another science-fiction.
Done in the same fashion I had improved my grammar and spelling when I started
this in 8th grade. I first would think of events I wanted to happen
like a fire tornado and a violent, but innocent girl shows up. Occasionally, I would
have some of my friends read over what I had written and determined that I needed
to rewrite my entrance to give more background to the situation. This story was
more like a universe. After writing the first few chapters I knew where it
needed to go. This plot had more going on and slightly intimidating. There were
many minor and major characters at different times. At one point the two main
characters split up leading me to have chapters go back and forth between the
two. My final attempt in junior year of high school I did a very different genre
and structure. This topic was fantasy with a cliché topic with a different
twist on werewolves. The pattern of writing switched from narrator, to girl
main character to boy main character. Besides the personality change the font
would change, so a reader can tell who is who at the beginning.
