Actually, i got the idea of writing my own novel when I was trying to sleep one night...I was tossing and turning on the bed and keep having the images of chic lit i've read over the years which really entertains and made me laugh like the shopaholics series (which is UK based so when the author narrates story on shops like tie rack in the novel, i definitely can relate to it as I've been spending my good ++3 years in Uk for me degree) but i kept thinking that it is a shame that someone from Malaysia will not be able to relate to it as much as I did..Anyways, I want to create something that is funny, informative - plan to include some sel-help motivational quotes as well as traditional remedy, and most importantly as real as it can gets..a story of late 20-ish woman who has quite different ideas to live her live but was expected to follow the norm...and challenges she faced in love, money, career, friendship, beauty, fashion, family even politics..the objective is to made people laugh (mainly at themselves as I want them to relate to the story as they have experienced it themselves..it's a 'been there done that' effect). And the novel is bilingual (just like real life where we normally have to speak in BM and english).. ;-)
Titles in consideration:
- Diari Seorang Perempuan
- A Messed-up life of going to be 30 years old
- 365 days to life makeover - hmm i like this...i think i'm gonna make it as like diary..kat sini leh letak petua kesihatan etc etc..
- etc etc to think more later
And although I am an avid reader, I am put off by small fonts, long winded chapter, no interaction SO in this novel I am putting up as big font as suitable, short and sweet chapters, and putting in quotes, recipes, remedies, pictures and other materials to make my book more exciting and beneficial to my future readers. I'm also gonna include some current issues, hot topics (god knows we do have a lottttttt of hot topics worth discussing in the country) and others....so in a way it is not gonna be a traditional novel with one story line but it's gonna be different (i love different, remember?) hehehe
