Writing Gabriel


Writing is really hard right now. Or rather, writing what I planned to write is really hard right now. I thought I was telling Wilja's story, she was the one that came to me first and gave me details about her life but as I look back at it now, I that she didn't really come to me as much as she came from me.
So much of her personality is my personality, picture perfect model of me? Perhaps, but that makes her very hard to write, because I haven't found the balance between me and her. How much of myself am I willing to pour into her?

What I didn't expect was Gabriel. He came to me, really came to me, and had so much to tell me, so many things he wanted me to write and right now it is easier to write his story than the one I had planned to. I guess from the start the idea was to write Wilja's and Gabriel's present and then some day return to Gabriel's past (wow, how big headed of me to already plan book two eh?) but right now, I am almost pondering telling Gabriel's story instead because I am falling more and more in love with him by the day.
Or maybe it isn't really me pondering it, I think it is he telling me... and who am I to say no to Gabriel?

Over and out

  1. Why not write about them both, one story two points of veiw?

  2. Because "his" part of the story takes place before she is born.. or at least I thought it did. I don't even know for sure anymore... I don't think I control the story anymore.
