I'm thinking about writing a new book. I know my last book hasn't even been seen by the eyes of a proper editor yet let alone gotten published but this is the reason why i feel like i have to write a new one. A marketable one. One that people will ' get ' immediately. The thing about non-fiction is, people only get it if you're a) already famous or b) survived some sort of catastrophic event such as a life threatening disease or a war. I don't think editors at publishing houses really care about my last two tough years as a twenty something. To them, that's probably just not 'marketable' enough. So i feel like it's time to write fiction. I've read enough of it to understand the basics on how to craft it. Not to mention i did my entire degree on mostly fiction writing.

It was just weird old me who opted for non-fiction because it just felt the most natural to me. I like to say things how it is. But fiction isn't something that i'm entirely foreign to. I feel like it's kind of like non-fiction except that everything is made up but the made up stuff is there to serve a purpose of telling some sort of truth. Right now, i'm brainstorming potential catalysts to my new novel. And that sounds big when i say it like that. I'm overwhelmed that i am ready and willing to take on such a huge task especially since there already is a half completed book in my computer. I can't believe how OK i am with starting a whole new one.
