I decided to write. The voices in my head keep telling me, heck even my grandmother told me I should write a book. And so I began some many years ago. In this blog, I will attempt to share why I write, and once published, will use this forum to solicit feedback from readers, in order to determine which character they relate to, or want to read more about.
I have creatively masterminded a full circle trilogy that begins with my main characters sexually eye-opening sexual discovery that shapes his life, develops his character, and articulates his random and chance sexual encounters in a chronological format that demonstrates and celebrates the innocence of life we tend to forget as we grow older.
The tales of fiction and fantasy culminate in the first book, Moments in Time: It's never too late to come out with an attempt at suicide after realizing the sexual tendencies that had developed resulted in extreme love and sometimes tragic loss, a deep depression, rejection, and despair that became too overwhelming to handle.
The sexual adventures continue however, as the main character wakes from an amazing dream in Moments in Time: It's never too late to start over. He is given a new lease on life, with a renewed spirit, and a purpose to pursue. Instantly life comes together, and resumes. Sexual encounters continue to follow him wherever he goes. In a short time, the man of his dreams enters his life, and life changes everything, or does it.
The Moments in Time series continues under a different flag called, Detours: Sometimes the wrong way is the right way. This final chapter documents another drastic change of life, but the sexual tendencies follow both main characters now, as their journeys take a slight detour. The dramatic change of the book title, although part three in the series, is to articulate the history of both characters, and their unique ability to stray from their own path, as well as have a unique talent to assist others in taking a slight sexual detour in their own lives.
In those three books, I will invite the readers to comment, and request more character development for each of the many characters highlighted chapter by chapter in this chronological growth and development of one mans life. I will encourage discussions of these fabrications of fiction and fantasy, in order to create a continuing development of storyline, based on the most popular suggestions by readers who want to know more about a specific encounter. Embellishment of the most popular chapters will result in subsequent publications written to entertain the readers.
Already brainstormed and in the works for my own amusement and entertainment is a reverse perspective story. For example the main character meets someone, and the story is written from the main characters perspective. Book four, tentatively titled, Innocence, will depict the same story the main character tells, from a sub-characters perspective, and how their lives inter-mingled and inter-twined without them even knowing, until their own encounter happened.
When you read about a character and their descriptions that create a story, often As a reader, we want to know more about their interactions, and the other characters back story, the other characters view on the reality that the main character is creating. It's a serious test of my writing ability, and is presently in the works consuming most of my day, and some of my night.
This is my first blog post, and hope readers will leave positive, compelling reviews on Amazon.com as well as Goodreads.com, and anywhere else they blog. If you liked the stories, please share that satisfaction, but most of all, if you see a flaw, a weakness or an opportunity to do better, please contact me directly at adamstevensshouts@gmail.com. I will respond to all credible suggestions, as I make mistakes as a human.
And most importantly, if you relate to a specific character, or chapter, and wish to know more, let's discuss your feelings, and based on reader feedback, my future books will all embellish the interests of my readers that positively discuss who they likes, what they liked, and want more of.
Finally, I want to share that my own personal life is currently in a seriously life changing turmoil. I have a passion to achieve an amazing legacy to mankind (That is how I see it in my own mind), and am currently in a place I don't want to be, with every fiber of my being challenging me everyday. I have a general sense of what I need to do in order to continue the steps along my path. But first I feel I must endure this harsh reality, and overcome the burden. Once that miracle can be achieved, I want to first personally re-connect with the earth by developing a small piece of land into a sustainable permaculture, combined with providing a place for troubled gay teens to escape the harsh reality of bullying and depression that lead to suicide. I want to in a commercial sense, have an educational institute that can house run-away, homeless gay teens to get them off the streets. How this all plays out and is developed into practice, may also come from like-minded readers who want to create a dream come true for the future leaders of tomorrow. I just know that I can not do it alone, but I continue to develop the dream.
