Inspiration Struck Me Harder Than Ever · 11:12pm Mar 15th, 2015
So, just yesterday, I was lost in a pool of thought. I thought about people, places, characters, and whatever else came to my mind. A sudden thought entered my mind, and of one small detail came a lightning bolt of inspiration. It wasn't a plot, but a character, that sent my mind into crazy daydreams about situations I could thrust this character into. It was like no inspiration I've ever felt, and I'd like to explain this character and the plot I'm thinking about throwing him into to you.
His name is Dana Lennon. He's a young, happy-go-lucky male with a talent in patience and education. He teaches a middle school-leveled orchestra. He's a very sweet, kind human being. His only flaws are self-doubt, extreme worry/panic, and the fact that he's a pedophile.
Yes, I realize what I'm doing with this, and I know the direction I want this to head in. I want Dana to be very self-aware of his desires, to a point it pains him to think about it. I also want the readers of the story to love this character, and to sympathize with him. I want to put this man through the internal conflict of dealing with such desires, I want him to struggle concealing it, and I want him to feel self-hatred during certain parts of the story. This character, though I know so little about him, I want to see him thrive.
I've thought of lots of scenarios about what I can do with him, and I know the story. I have everything I need all up in my noodle.
This concept has made me feel like no other. This is a novel I want to see published. This is a novel I want to spend years revising and making into absolute perfection. I want this to be something I'm known for someday. Even if it sounds absolutely stupid, I feel as though this is the one character I was meant to breathe life into.
Yes, I will continue to work on Fimfic (first finishing my commission), but I feel as though this is the true starting point of where I begin striving to get something published.
If anyone has any advice for me, or wants to help read stuff and give me their opinion, please feel free. Thanks for reading!

So how have you been my friend? Are you going to continue your other story as well as this new one you've an idea for?
2881068 I have lots of other stories, so I'm not really sure. The main ones I'm concerned about finishing are Raising Rainbow, the other non-pony one, and this one.
And of course I remember you! There's really no way to forget.
Well, uh... Good luck with that.
It's not that I don't like the concept (I do), It's that if you really wanted to publish this story, it's gonna be a bitch to get past publishers.
Also, Learn the laws surrounding pedophilia. People will be after you with pitch forks and torches. guaranteed.
Good luck with the story
2881216 I know, and I will be doing research. I know getting a book published can be a complete bitch, and the industry is ruthless, but I plan on working on this for years and years until I know it's perfect. I'm going to get people to help me with this as well. Right now, I'm just planning and doing the draft. I know the whole pedophilia thing is a bit strange to choose a subject to focus on, but something about it speaks to me. I don't know why, but I feel so passionate about it.
2881329 Just as always, be careful. And really push through it, because it's gonna be a slog after that inspiration high wears off.
Good luck, and may the gods be with you!
Hey Pizzema this inspireation of a story seems realy interesting and if you do want people to help you with i would be glad to help read over it and genneraly help you with it in any way i can
Just be careful on the pedophilia topic... You'll need some very nice story telling to get people to like him. I know you're the one who could write that but oh everyone hates a pedophile. No matter how tragic their life is it's a thing no one forgives you know. Post more updates on this though!
Ps if you get rejected by one publisher try another! Harry Potter got rejected 3 or 4 times now look at it!
Risky... very risky...
Even the topic of... pedophilia, is painful to bring up. Your almost playing with fire attempting to make a star character have this mental disposition.
Still, if I had to bet on anyone pulling something like this off, I'd bet on you. I wish you the best of luck pursuing this new story.
A very, very interesting idea. Definitely something I would like to read.
