Today, I got inspired. I'm gonna write a book.
Basically, it's about one man's rise to power in the context of a political revolution, and his descent into madness as he rises in power. I got inspired by 2 things: Last night I watched There Will Be Blood again for a film project, going deep into the details and themes. That got me thinking about the basic theme of the rise to power. Then, today I was reading about Che Guevara for an English project, and I'm in love with his story and life and whatnot. So I decided to invent a character, a man that ends up leading a revolution, and take him from childhood to death, and explore the way his mind and outlook on the world change throughout his life.
So yeah, that's my idea. I have a basic plot outline so far, but no names or settings yet. Expect those within the next few weeks or so. I hope that once it's done, I can get it published
