Out of the few ambitions I have, I have one which I would like to achieve, well one that I would like to achieve and doesn't involve Britney Spears.
I would really like to write a book OK, now that you have recovered from fits of laughter, I am being serious.
I can't sing, well in tune anyway, I can't play football or should that be I don't and have never had the motivation to get off my backside and try. Finally and probably most importantly, I don't read books, my grammar is apppalling" and I struggle to write more than a few lines (which is obvioulsly going to be a hinerence)
As I have said though, this is a serious post and I would truly love to write a book and then have it published. I'm not talking novels here but more of a story, a fictional story based on true life experiences, something I have lots of.
I have toyed with the idea of writing a screenplay but as you can appreciate I am having enough trouble even starting to write a story.
So, I want to write a story, where do I begin? I have the idea and a general outline of the story (which I'll put below) but how do I transfer ideas and emotions from my brain (yes I do have one) to paper?
Questions, Questions, I have so may questions, How should story's start? Do I write a prelude or do I introduce the characters and situations during the story? How do you incorporate chapters?
Any help advice or information would be gratefully appreciated, as would any recommendations of Websites or Books?
Now below is a brief outline of the story and as you can see, I have a long way to go in turning this idea into a book, even into a story come to that.
The year is 1993, Jonathan is a thirteen year old boy growing up in a stereotypical northern town, dirty, depressive and suffering from extreme social and economical depravation.
Jonathan lives with his Mum, Step Dad and younger brothers, his farther died when he was 7 and his elder sister had left home at the same age Jonathon is now.
On the exterior Jonathon seems a quiet and naive, a teenager content with being what some people may call a loner, but then that's only the exterior.
Inside Jonathon is struggling with his personality. After years of abuse in a less than normal childhood, who is he is, why is here and more to the point how can he end the misery that torments him?
Now this is where the story really starts. After being expelled from school for the final time, Jonathon goes in to self destruct mode.
Jonathon then progress's through 3 rollercoaster years of trouble. He is sectioned under the mental health act, arrested on several occasions and narrowly avoids being detained in a secure children's unit.
Behind the glamour though of the of trouble in which Jonathon finds himself, the true Jonathon is slowly uncovered. Secrets from his childhood are revelled, Memories are finally layed to rest and Jonathon finally starts to live his life or does he?
My final question would be what are you aloud to include in print? I would obviously change names as the book is not entity based on truth but more fiction based around truth but what about taste and decency laws?
In regards with the latter I'm not going to write graphic scenes of sex or violence but as the story unfolds, it will include many events such as death, drug taking, sexual abuse and various criminal activities.
Thanks For any help and I will be grateful for any critical comments on the story outline (negative or positive).
