That's plausible a claim. Depending on what happens in school it can directly affect my flow of creativity, as I usually wrote one chapter per a week or two on the fly. What's "on the fly", you ask? That means that I just construct the scenario while I'm doing other things. In laymans terms:Feralidragon wrote:Every born child has a genius level of creativity. With time school destroys most of it (ironically) unless you keep being as creative as possible outside it.
Talent, well, that's acquirable through hard work or given as a genetic gift or both.
Good day at school - great flow of creativity.
Bad day - Bad chapter, resulting in its expansion and/or correction or possibly even a do-over.
And for now, I've pretty much figured out how Kain's saga will continue in the 2nd book, it's sequel and the sequel to the sequel. Only problem is that I'm not 100% how the 2nd book's first chapter will actually start.
One other issue used to be this: Whenever I was writing a chapter for my book in a place where... Let's just say "the place for teens", since I can't translate it well, someone would barge in and annoy me for no apparent reason, or even shut the computer off, resulting not only in the loss of the chapter, but also a loss of temper, since - like the majority here, as I can presume - doesn't like getting screwed over by some 12-14 year-old brat who thinks he/she is the boss.
In any case, you're more than welcome to read my book. I'm looking for some reviews, which seem to be few and far in between these days.
