What do I want to write a novel about?
I want my novel to be about ... my story. I want it to reflect my concern of the true reality of this existence since I am now unsure whereas I used to think I had the answers. I want it to reflect the idea of a person who thought he was something special and then found out he wasn't particularly special and may be quite broken. Of course I'd like the story to have a happy ending because that is how I want my story to be.
I just want my story to be compelling for ME to write. I want to feel passionate and even a little, if not a lot, frightened about writing it. I want it to offend some people and to inspire most people.
It has to be something akin to a battling your dragon or inner demon story. People should both love the character like I love myself and loathe the character like I loathe myself while wanting the character to triumph.
For me I want to write a story which could actually be talking about the possible nature of reality even if I am writing sci-fi/fantasy.
How do I want people to respond to my novel (besides making me the second person to become a billionaire from writing a book and creating a theme park and a series of movies around it)?
Should my story be a coming of age story or should it be more like Vanilla Sky, The Matrix, Memento, etc.
