With a pen and paper in hand, Jones Rogers sat the desk struggling to write a novel. He sat there for hours, brainstorming about the perfect story and decided to not use motifs or allegories. However despite spending a large amount of time planning for this novel, Jones finally gave up. He didn't understand that writing a novel would take personally skill, personally experience and personally motivation or reason. In reality, Jones wasn't stupid he was naive. After reading Twilight and Harry Potter, he seemed to feel that writing novels was a task that was easy to accomplish and succeed at. Throughout his life, Jones had never read a real novel and really didn't understand why people really write them. Ever since the beginning of civilization, books have been banned, ripped apart, severely criticized because they instigated social movements and commented on controversial and important social problems. He didn't understand that writing was a profession that was bared alot of fruit but was difficult to accomplish. He didn't understand that as the painter armed himself with his paints and brushes, the author armed himself with style and experience. He didn't understand that experience was a virtue that was to be lived and gained. By going out and living his life, Jones would be able to have materials to write about. By living his life, Jones would be able to see for himself the ills and issues of society. True authors were people who lived life. Kurt Vonnegut was an individual that lived through the horrors of the war. Kurt Vonnegut was an individual that took his experiences and put them into writing.
We all have a little bit of Jones Rogers within us: despite our ambition, we don't understand that great novels are pieces of literature that create movements because of the emotions and messages they can evoke. They are able to rapture readers into a world where they can evoke emotions and strong ideas. Real authors know how to make Inception look like a joke.
So what would I write about? Well to be honest with you I really don't know. I don't know how my plot line would go, I don't know the themes and ideas that will be in my book. I JUST DON"T KNOW. To be a true writer, I need to gain experience! I need to live through the problems Unlike Jones Rogers I would need materials to work with. Like a painter with his pastels, brushes and paints, I need to arm myself with real life experiences! As of now I can only tell you the general scheme of my novel. Placed in a distant future, the main protagonist in the novel, Jimmy, is a normal being that lives in a normal world. As the novel progresses, Jimmy is affected by a calamity that changes his view of the world. He is exposed to another unseen world of the masses(this unseen world is figurative: it could be anything ranging from the streets of the poor or the lives of the misunderstood elderly or grumpy neighbor). By being exposed to this unseen world, Jimmy sees an inherent problem in society(as of now I don't know what this societal problem) and he decides to make a change. Jimmy also discovers another inherent and important human problem: judgment ( society is too quick to judge and label people instead of getting to know them on a personal level). The key ingredient that makes this story cook is Jimmy. By putting the story in the view of Jimmy, we would be able to see and relate more to Jimmy.
My novel hasn't been published yet and it probably never will, but that would be the general scheme of my novel.
