New Beginnings and Endings

Ok so you've all probably noticed I've deleted the page for all the information on the novel To Dream truth be told, while I was writing one of the later chapters I noticed that the plot was too "closed" and not challenging enough, so I'm going to combine two favourite fairytales of mine and using them as a basis for the new novel, don't worry I'm still going to use the fan-fictions that inspired the last novel but the difference is the plot, I do hope it works out this time. I am still going to use some of the same characters, so watch out.

So reasons why I had to stop the old story:

• I lost interest
• No inspiration
• The story was too closed

So the first reason is that I lost interest. Yes I'd written down so many notes, it's almost filled an entire book, but in the end there was no (as in the film Saving Mr. Banks, Emma Thompson's P.L Traverse, says) "gravitas" so I needed something more than what I'd written. Plus I've been inspired by so many other things for other stories that those have started to take priority. Therefore I could no longer write this novel.

The second is related to the first. I've been inspired by many things, like music, noises, experiences, images and other things. So I've changed the story to fit these inspirations. So it's not just three fan-fiction stories.

And the final reason. At first I was excited by the plot, but as it progressed, I noticed there was a huge lax in character development, plot twists and such, and I couldn't fix it in small bits, I'd have to completely change the story in order to make sense of it. So that's why I had to start again.

So there you have it the reasons I've had to quit the story. But don't worry a new one will be up and hopefully this one will be good.

As always I leave you with this to do what you will, and just for the hell of it, I give you this quote "We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep." (W. Shakespeare, The Tempest: Act 4, scene 1, 157 - 158)
