Do you think it's possible that you are just a character in a book?

Letti, you know me....everythings possible, and probable when we believe!

If my life is a book, the writer sucks...so far. :)
Then again, maybe he/she is just writing a very long buildup to something...

What you find inane, a person that has never left their small village might find intriguing.
------------------------------------------------------------------

Now to the question....

To believe that I am just a character in a book would force me to believe in fate. That is something I've never been able to do. The idea that I am not in control of my own destiny is horrifying to me. If I thought the decisions I've made throughout my life had no effect on my life why would I do anything?


Therein lay the rub.....Even if it were true I would not be able to accept it.

Letti
10-21-2007, 08:58 AM
I see your point Harrald but when I am writing I don't feel I make the decisions. They do. My characters.
I would like to write about something... I have a message on my mind and they start to tell about something else I would like them to say something but they say something very different.. and at the end of the story it's hard to believe that I wrote it.

Do my characters have their own wills and needs...?
... No, I wouldn't say that.
Do I make the decisions...?
... No, I wouldn't say that, either.

These are hard and good questions.

I think my life would make an amazing love story. You'd probably have to put some descriptive hair and muscles on me but Dora's just right as she stands.

Steamy...

I think it could also be a great story of hope.

**toots his own horn** :lol:

Matt... you need nothing more than yourself to be the main character of a nice love story. Believe me. :rose:

I've often HOPED my life was someone else's book. I've been through and done some weird shit in my life that I can't explain. Unfortunately, I doubt my strings are being pulled my anyone other than myself. It sure would be nice to blame it on a sick, twisted and fucked up author though...LOL

this concept is just too far fetched for me to think about. i never got in to the "oh we could just be a grain of dirt under someone's fingernail" arguments either.

Darkthoughts
10-21-2007, 11:34 AM
Yeah, I'm kinda not sure where you're coming from on this either...:unsure:

Letti
10-21-2007, 11:48 AM
For my part I have a quite boring life and I voted for no in the poll as well but time to time this idea comes to my mind..

She-Oy
10-21-2007, 11:48 AM
Oh I understand the concept quite well. And I've left myself contimplate in many a time...not so much as being a character, but being a grain of sand (which I actually DO believe when you look at the grand scheme of things).

I just put a lot of value into the concept of free will. In the end, I think that's what we have. It may be skewed by many things, and we may all just eat what we are given on a daily basis, but we all do have the capability to question our own actions and change when we feel like it.

If I am, then it's probably the worst, most boring book in the universe.

Oh, I'm way too much of a control freak to even think someone else is in control of my destiny. :nope:

Chapter 87


Daghain goes to post on her favorite messageboard, denying the idea that an author could be in control of her destiny. "Oh, I'm way too much of a control freak to even think someone else is in control of my destiny," she says, but in the back of her mind she feels the twitch of a nagging suspicion begin to grow. Somewhere, sitting at an old typewriter, an author shakes his head and chuckles.

BWAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good one! :D

Oops! I thought I was posting bits from a new chapter of a book that I wrote last week in Turtleback Lane, my bad.

Daghain
10-21-2007, 09:26 PM
:rofl:

In that case, could you write me in a tall dark stranger who is madly in love with me? That would be great. Maybe around Chapter 44? Thanks. :D

Not to spoil things, but he turns out to be gay later in the book.

Get out a film called Stranger Than Fiction - it covers this dilemma (realising you are a character in a story) and is very, very good!

I think it would be possible,

You're all my creation :evil: ;)

Considering that the depth of my personality is unfathomable to any mere human being, I sincerely doubt that I am a character in some homo sapiens’ trite attempt at literature. :P

I know, hard to believe I created you ;) :lol:

Tricky, huh?

Indeed.

Anyone out there... who is writing my story... please write me a holiday. Thanks. :rolleyes:

I hope YOU are my writer, Lisa. :)

11-12-2007, 05:02 AM
Yes, I hope for the same. :D

Darkthoughts

Well, we just need to figure out who's writing my story and we're sorted :D

And a very self gratifying one at that ;) :D

Letti
11-12-2007, 06:10 AM
Yeah... Lisa writes me a holiday and Brice... I write her a big chocolate cake.
That's how the big world works. :D

I said yes. But whoever is writing this particular book involving me needs to get a better sense of humor, though I thank them for the crazy hat trying on escapades today...
