I've been working on the background and research for NaNoWriMo and while I am finding it extremely enjoyable and stimulating, today I am finding it a bit, well interesting.
I have been working with a certain premise, certain ideas and have been looking for different things within history to back up my idea so to speak. Much to my surprise, or perhaps not, what I was trying to create with my book and the things I have been trying to find to prove it - are there.
The concept I was trying to prove has been thought of by someone else and proven in the same ways I was looking to do it. I can't decide how I feel about this. Logically I know that there are only so many stories and they are repeated and retold by individuals adding their own slants, but somehow this is different. This was what I considered to be a far out concept, something I had never thought of before and I was looking to all areas of historical events, art, music etc., to find ways to make it sound true.
I think I have decided to still continue on with the concept but I would imagine I have to put a much different slant on it now, as it has already been proven to be true. Yet I still find myself searching in my mind for any possible way that I may have heard this before, but I know it is impossible. I think perhaps I will add this situation into the main character and see how he/she handles it, what he/she gets out of it and how they move forward with the knowledge.
I guess we all look for signs to show us we are on the right track and perhaps this is one for me. I just find it interesting because I was searching for a way to find my character in this situation, I've found it. *lol*
