Blessed be the dead. Novelization due September 20th. (I’m going to write a sellable novel.)

Yes, I am going to give it a try. I do not expect to get published, but what the hell. This has been lingering for awhile, and Sarah has been asking.

The novelization will be a series of three books. Interestingly enough, the chapters are named after songs. Each book will feature the same protagonist, each book will have a different Antagonist, although Vestis will be introduced at the last chapter of the second book. The Tritagonists, and the deuteragonists will be different in each novel of the series. The only exception is that the Deuteragonist from the first novel, will have a short chapter in the third novel in her point of view.

As I mentioned in the first blog entry, there are multiple settings. As those have been listed, I will discuss the Protagonist, Antagonists (Raul Gonzalis, Rena Jervana, and Vestis.), along with the Deuteragonists (Carlita, Zechs, and Col Rockwell.), and the Tritagonists (Rena Jervana, Rockwell, and in the third novel this can be debated, I have no official third novel Tritagonist as of now.)

Dramatis Personae.

Novel one.

Valentine.
Age at start 18 years of age.
End 21.
Valentine partially mimics me, he is 6'4, with a high intelligence. He can speak fluent Spanish, and German along with his native English. He is a white swedish male, who has blonde hair (Which is dyed a darker color.) he has been trained in martial arts, and boxing.

Novel one starts off with a prologue revolving around a fight Valentine got into which caught the attention of numerous high powered members of the Catholic church. At the end of the fight Valentine had been stabbed four times, and shot twice, but was able to bring down his oppoent before collasping into a coma. The prologue goes into him having an apocalyptic dream of the future during his coma, which lasts four days. Somewhere deep in his gut, he has a feeling that Mexico City holds the answers. Once he wakes up, and finds he has made miracle recovery. Valentine leaves AMA (Against Medical Advice.) and takes a bus to Mexico City in order to learn more about this dream and his recovery.

So.

Moment of Madness.

I have an interesting idea.

One that would make all of this work, but will take a lot of time to do.

The key to writing is not to be creative, but to be good at it. In order to sell a book, you need to write something better than your competition.

I have a phobia of letting people read my work, because it is personal to me. However, in January of 07' I had sent a copy of "Hero of the Stones." To the Random House publishing company. The original three handwritten notebook, which I had copyrighted. When I sent it, in all irony I figured it was worth a shot. Well I got a response. The amount itself would've been $150,000 for legal rights to the book, plus royaltys. Which would've probably granted me somewhere in the $200,000 range.

I declined the offer because they said they would have to make changes in the book, and remove my name from the title as the author. Sadly, this was all I had in the world, and I would not just let it be robbed from me.

Within the past month, I have been hit over the head with an idea. I explained it with my father (Bernert), and numerous friends of his. I want to find Elmore Leonard and discuss this idea with him.

The idea would involve the creation of three novels.

Each would revolve around a central protagonist would have a first point of view for most of the book, while it would cycle between the Deuteragonist, and the Tritagonist's point of view. The story would mainly take place in Central America, but would start in North Eastern America, and would end here.

The second novel would start two days after the ending of the first. Revolving around the point of the Protagonist who can now split himself into five people (Including himself.) and General Zechs (Deueragonist) on the Protagonists progress, and strange abilities. The settings will be in the United States, mainly Michigan (If I choose for that to be the state inwhich the protagonist lives.) New York, and Ellesmere Island Canada, it would end there.

The third and final novel would have an prolouge which would last for two chapters in the views of both the Deueragonist (General Zechs) and the newly introduced Antagonist (Vestis) The novel would not have a direct setting, because of the amount of movement with the Protagonist, but Europe, North America, and parts of Greenland would be included.

It will take me nine monthes to write novel one, and that itself will be the big challenge.

All of these novels reflect the protagonist in "Hero of the Stones."

Well, this is what I need.

I need that ASUS Laptop.

Besides that, this will be do able... I thinker.
