Saturday I began writing on my first autobiographical piece for submission somewhere.  It is much easier to keep a diary than to write the autobiographical stuff! 

At the moment I am just putting down little vignettes as things come to me, and then I am planning on putting them into an order once some of them get a little larger - word wise.  The thing I am finding most difficult is the purpose for everything.  What do I want people to get from what I am writing?  This matters more for autobiographical pieces than it does from fiction I am learning, because I am putting myself out there for the world to judge and putting my "best face forward" is proving difficult because I simply don't know which "face" I want to concentrate on most.

I have been trying to decide on two characters I love as to which to concentrate on in the fictional realm.  It has come down between my Biker and my Werewolf and the Werewolf has won out, much to my surprise.  How?  Because ideas for the Werewolf's story came quickly and all I could do was merely adore looking at my Biker.  *sigh*  So, I'll start putting pen to paper on the Werewolf's adventure soon.  Actually, with the ideas I have, the Werewolf could turn into a series, which is really surprising, and a little intimidating if it takes off.  I do love him, though.  The Werewolf is cool. 

Focusing on a beginning for him is going to be the hard part and then which adventure he is going to begin on.  It is amazing how many there are out there for him.  Sorry I can't give you any further ideas, but I am one of those writers that requires silence in order to work:  When I talk too much about a story the story gets told and there isn't a reason to write it down.  Make sense?  It does to me and a few ot  her people, but to some people it makes no sense at all. 

From one survivor to another, here's wishing you all the best on your writing. I call myself a survivor, too, because I am, in a way. Sure survived pains and turmoil in my life. I also dream of being a writer one day and publishing a book of my own. I couldn't help but smile when I was reading your post and what you said about requiring silence in order to work because I'm also that kind of writer. I used to write stories in my teens and all the way to college (mostly romantic stuff). Now, I'm going through a phase, seemingly, because it's like I now want everything that I write to have a purpose or to inspire somebody else, maybe. Sorry, I babbled too much here. I couldn't help it. :) I wonder if you'd care to exchange links with me?
