All of a sudden Amazon is paying me for the much larger amount of readers of Everyone's Nightmare than was expected. It felt too good to be true, but it is really excitingly real. I am a success. It tastes very yummy to win.
In my subjective research negativity is not understood correctly by many which is a reason we are so very very hurt by it. More on that later. I will say it has a frequency range much greater or should I say worse than previously believed. Or just news to me.
Before I fully embark on my novel here are some thoughts about setting and description noun heavy writing which I like. I am into the idea that my new novel has some kind of map that you understand eventually as the reader. My last novel was not varied in terms of its landscape because it was in a world in which was creepy and dark and not the kind of place you would want to stay in as a nightmare might feel. The book ends soon and you know you are going to leave that creepy place. The location was critical to the novel. You were never meant to feel totally comfortable. The male antagonist was detailed with description at all times where the female character was all about mystery and intrigue. She could exist in the imagination of the reader as what ever fantasy or horror or likely both that she could evoke by my writing of her. The protagonist which is you is also left open ended. So the only fleshed out character is the male antagonist. Everything he does is intense and weird and scary. Then all of a sudden he dissapears from the story never to show up again. As a writer his physicality is very important as he is like a landscape onto himself. Perhaps he is the finest creation in the novella.
I understand that boredom and a low tolerance for boredom has been a huge factor in why some artists have become inspired to create. Moods also play a role and the negative can have a seductive quality for exploration while more positive states are more likely seen as having very few jewels to mine. Okay. Perhaps there is a neat happy place that is not going to make you want to puke. Of course the characters would have to be imperfect and also the kind of world they puke are in. They still have obstacles and internal anxieties and issues. They just refuse to give in and give up on the opportunities for joys and kisses on earth. For them heaven on earth is not out there. The ice cream is always reminding them like the sparrow that greater experiences will always have a chance at being realized
I think there is a lot of human intelligence that needs to be tapped into with many people and I am weary of leaders because of the many problems that can happen with leadership including various degrees of tyranny. So to me those that are under leadership need to be able to truly change the formula of leaders and followers. WE NEED A MORE REAL DEMOCRACY. A world in which people don't experience being as intensely marginalized and a world with much less tensions and where science plays a bigger role and education is more relevant and less full of pointless academic rigor. A WORLD OF STRONG PROGESSIVE PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCE LESS LIMITATIONS THAN PREVIOUS GENERATIONS AND HOPE IS SOWN INTO THE FABRIC OF OUR CULTURE.
