I’ve found myself getting into writing again. I’m trying not to put too much importance on it, because that was my mistake last time. My hopes were way too high, and when I didn’t meet them I gave up. Now, I don’t really have any hopes. I’m writing because its fun.
About Dilemma, I don’t know how many of you actually read my book. Probably not many. Again, I had grand ambitions. I wanted to write a trilogy of books, and I had planned out everything that would happen in each book. The trouble was that when I finished writing ‘Dilemma of the Hour’, (the first book) and self-published it, I found it very hard to write the second book. I got tired of the characters and story, and I began to doubt whether I could write an entire trilogy of books. So I removed it from publication.
Now I’m rethinking things. I think my mistake was planning too much. I will rewrite Dilemma of the Hour, and this time it will be a self-contained novel. The old Dilemma didn’t even have a proper ending (another of my mistakes). So what I need to do now is remove some plot elements from the first book, and add in some from the planned second and third books, so it forms a nice, cohesive plot.
So some of the characters will need to disappear… which brings me to the question of this post.
What is more intreguing to read about?
- a heroic figure who is revealed to have major flaws. A ‘fall from grace’ so to speak… or
- an anti-hero, who is disliked at first, but who ends up as the good guy.
Thoughts are welcomed, please!
