hi everyone, i'm also relatively new. how are we all??
my goodness...... after having a brush with new found confidence, i've just as quickly lost it! i'm class of '05 currently undertaking the task of ee2.
i know exactly how everyone feels about the whole idea flashing, mind changing state of mind. i've changed my mind five times in about a months, from a theme of illness, to a war-torn inspired story, to spartan civilisation/romance, to crazed stalker, to psychoanalytical thriller, to all sorts of who-ha. (i wrote the exact words somewhere else!! LoL) i was in total panic because my proposal was due and i was undicisive and empty. by then i was just about at a mental drought. after having my mind cemented on various ideas only to break them three days later, i've finally settled on something that i'm quite happy with.
i got my proposal back, i think, yesterday and was very happy with my mark, but after reading past posts and recent posts of this thread and just reading all the ideas of everyone, i'm a little apprehensive again!
the idea of my major work is.... a little cliched. and it's got a tinge of teen angst... in fact, one of my characters' name is teen angst (how conincidental! *nervous smile*) but i'm in quite a love affair with my idea that right now it doesn't really mind me.
my narrative voice is that of a dead person (think american beauty, desperate housewives), and follows the concept of six degrees of separation whereby one character meets another character and a story is told. btw, the story is told backwards, so he's already dead... i think you've established that! silly me!!!
basically it's a story about how insecure i am! gee wont that be fun to read....
