Maybe because there is a continuous series of incidents or because we are telling the story of a family. There are therefore hidden incidents , which we can only discover at the end of reading or even not understand at all. Examples of books Suttree by Cormac McCarthy: I don't remember anything that really changed Suttree's life. McCarthy tells a part of his character's life, how he makes ends meet by fishing, the people he knows, the meetings, the illness. Narcissus and Goldmund by Herman Hesse: perhaps there is a desire here, which is that of Goldmund to live as a free being, but it appears only later, not at the beginning of the novel. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez: it is the story of a family over seven generations.How to get out of these blocks? If you have a solution, on a case-by-case basis, go and spread it.
Indecision There would be a lot to discuss here. I am Phone Number Data indecisive by nature, but what makes me indecisive in writing? The thought that the work I'm doing is useless, that in the end all the efforts to write a novel will not translate into something valid, accomplished, appreciated. I'm also indecisive about what I really want to get from writing, because I don't know yet. If it had been really important for me to publish with a publisher, I would have already written more than one novel and sent it to all the infinite array of publishing houses we have. The fear of failure I called it fear, but I don't see it as a fear. Should I continue writing or is it better to give up?". You can't always be successful and failure can happen to anyone, that's true. Yet, failure is a specter around the corner, a shadow that follows you and doesn't let go, a thought that settles in your mind and you can't remove.
The feeling that nothing changes Which is perhaps even worse than failure. You write, you publish, people like the story, it sells, but in the end, absolutely nothing has changed in your life. You're still there with your problems and daydreams, writing another story that won't affect the course of your existence in the slightest. I'm not talking about economic influences, which I know - and I hope you know too - that there won't be. I'm talking about personal satisfaction, that natural satisfaction that should result from the success of a project, but which perhaps will never exist. Go figure out why.If publishing is entrepreneurship - and it is - self-publishing is also entrepreneurship, with the certainly not small difference that in that case it is the writer who is the entrepreneur.Tolkien. In an instant I'm on Amazon.
