As you may or may not know, these past 12 months have been a rollercoaster of adventures and emotions. It has been insanely difficult for my writing process because I personally feel like I have been thrown into a blender at times. Nothing makes sense and my perception of reality has been skewed at some points. I believe that for this next novel, I will finally be ready to start using that to fuel my creative process. I feel that a warning needs to be announced prior to my start date. While I will not disclose my inspirations, I believe that a fair amount of vengeance will be resolved through this new novel. I believe that I have gone through this whole experience and after 12 months, I feel I am ready to use it. However, this may not be the case as I have tried this approach in the past. It may take more out of me than I can manage and a recoil could happen; this is always a possibility with dramatic writing. It all started nearly exactly a year ago and I believe that giving myself this much time to put the ideas into plans has been a success. The emotions have calmed down from last Halloween and I am stronger for it. My irrational thoughts have ceased from Thanksgiving and now I am wearing a parachute rather than jumping blindly off the cliff. I no longer have thoughts of what transpired over those thick months or what happened to start the rolling ball.
Instead, I wish to warn all those who have been in my life. What you have done has inspired me for better and worse. Loved me, hated me, wronged me, used me, abused me or gave me freedom…please note that you should never fuck with a writer. No one will get their own character because those muses are glued down. This novel will show off your true colors and prove to the world how empty your hearts have been. It will amplify your lame pickup lines, remind the world of your drunken attempts and reveal how shallow your friendship truly is to everyone. I will expose the truth while smiling in fiction. Nothing will be autobiographical or call you out directly. This world is a haven. Your lives are inconsequential. For every lover, former friend and confidant, I will keep your secrets safe but do not promise to keep your lies.
And while I explore all of the negative and positive energies in the past 12 months in terms of my social life, I will push my boundaries and explore my own emotions and turmoil. It might not run me as raw as some of you would like but I guarantee this will bare my soul in some small part. And as a writer, this is an exciting and stomach-turning time full of swinging emotions, physical discomfort and pure exciting energy.
The honest truth is that this will be a work of entire fiction. The situations heightened or decreased, the characters amplified. I will not disclose what is real and what was inspired. The trouble will be making sure to blend the good and bad. In truth, I emphasize your flaws, harness the emotions that swirl and heightened the good I wished you had been.
I love Duncan with all of my heart. Your muse has guided me through. And I feel like I’m falling in love again.
And in the next four weeks, look forward to the first bold chapters of my new novel: “Like Seeking Revenge on an Ex”
You have been warned.
