lifes journey

This is a story i have been working on and this is only a small section to begin with.....Thoughts appreciated please Tom...


Everyday seemed the same well that’s what I use to think anyway ,my school environment had the same smells and contained the usual circle of sectioned Juvenile gangs...
I myself always seemed to keep a disengaged distance from being absorbed into the mundane expected role of the behaviour for a fifteen year old, soon to be sixteen I may add…. Ahhh sixteen the age we all wished to reach was now casting its shadow nearer and closer to us, the school uniform will be a thing of the past a artefact to reflect back on, echoing the days of running down the corridors and teachers voices yelling no running in school… I never seemed to be a runner really more of a slow walker, in-fact you could say I border lined perhaps on boring, god did I just think that… I think maybe I will re-phrase my self profile of myself and substitute the forsaken word boring into mmmm lets see, ok the word I am looking to best describe my distant behaviour and ways is inquisitive, there you go self- redemption is a great feeling and one that I think an individual should do battle with more often you can’t beat a good old self-character assassination.

Tom,

I'm presuming this is autobiographical, the question being where will this go? Is your life interesting enough to write a book/short story about?

I know mine isn't, I think you need to distinguish between fiction and autobiography to move forward.

"I think maybe I will re-phrase my self profile of myself and substitute the forsaken word boring into mmmm lets see, ok the word I am looking to best describe my distant behaviour and ways is inquisitive,"

You also question yourself very quickly, as if you don't really know what you should be writing, this seems a very negative way to start a book.

Of course this is all based on presumption, if you are to ask philosophical questions and base your writings on thought processes, then you really need the knowledge to back it up.

All that aside, I love reading books about people wandering about, thinking, so good luck, I'd like to see more to see where you take it.

cheers
Kris

Hi camus thanks for your reply i can confirm this is not a autobiography merely a attempt to write from a character's point of view, my idea being to portray similar to a autobiography...it is fiction well a attempt at fiction..
thanks..tom

Still would like to see where its heading.
