I’ve been writing a novel and I think I might just chuck it all out.
My problem is that I always start with a simple premise. And then things get more and more fantastical until the whole thing gets weighed down by the bizarre plot line.
For example, in my current novel, what starts off as a simple connection between two people turns into a metaphysical journey into the transcendence of ecstasy.
I can’t just let my characters be happy. I have to launch them into an entirely new plane of existence where their minds become subsumed by a universal consciousness.
