A Man of Fiction

A Man of Fiction... You know it is one of those day, when the most random of thoughts pop in your head and stays in there. For no reason (well probably as of late I've started to re-connect with most of my high school classmates) there it was. A thought of me back in high school, at English Lit class debating with a friend of mine that fiction writers/ novelists are better the poets. Why blog about it now? I still find myself at times jotting ideas, notes on a piece of paper about a story I wouldn't mind writing. Be it epic Sci-fi battle where the lines between good and evil are blurred. Or maybe a heart wrenching story where the person doesn't find love in the end. Now some may say, a fiction writers job is to write a story that follows the plan of begin-middle-end. But sometimes to get the whole story, you need to see how it ends in order to understand how it begins. Some people believe that endings are suppose to usually be of the happy kind, but look around. Look at the world around you and ask how many people you honestly know are living that Happily Ever After. Not that many huh?

Trust me, I understand that real life is, well real life and not made up. Our lives is don't follow an author's outline, we can't skip a few pages to see what's going to happen if we made that right turn instead of the left turn, no putting away the words written on the page, when things look like it's starting to get to dark and scary.

I still would like to write stories that interest me...and maybe this is a way to announce from time to time a short story to two on this blog. Don't know how that is going to work out, but it should be very interesting. Well at least challenging.

finally the picture you see above is from the TV show: The Invisible Man...again don't want people to think I go around stealing pics.


Well I guess that is all for now, until next time.
