I have this crazy narrative captivating my mind nearly every waking moment. i originally wanted to put it into a graphic novel format, since I fancy myself a novice artist, but I think my story would best translate into writing (novella, perhaps?). There isn’t much action or spandex in my story, just a lot of character interaction and somewhat abstruse dialogue about the nature of reality, humanity, higher beings and purpose.
More than anything, I just need to have a plan to start. I’ve written essays, short creative writing pieces and poems, all reactionary pieces, but never a whole narrative. All I have is ideas in my head, a bit of chicken scratch in a notepad and some sketch illustrations in a sketchbook. My hope is to get my story to paper and supplement it with some key illustrations in b&w and self publish. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
brief synopsis:
This story takes place in the very near future in our world. it’s the story of a guarded man with a unique gift of perception who knows he isn’t human, but doesn’t know what he is or how he got here. Upon intervening to save a young woman’s life, he’s plunged into humanity’s conflicts and starts to recognize the presence of other supernatural entities hiding in plain sight. The more insights these characters provide him, the more he learns about the world and his place in it.
