The rule

* Will the story be set in a fancy land or real life?
> The story should be set in real life coz that will reduce the burden from my mind and I could focus on the story concept instead of irrelevant details.

> But then there is the risk of plagiarism i.e. my novel would end up being one of the several other novels on the same theme.

> What difference it makes if it does and what if it doesn't. I have to express myself in the best possible way and that should be my first and last priority.

> But would not fancy land be a much better option i.e it might make it all appear less boring and treat the main theme as an add on thus increasing the effect, something like the script writing style of Mani ratnam.

> Hmm, thats a good option and this way I may make it a children story too.

> Oh great, so what about giving it a form of a children's tale.

> But can a child be able to digest all that. What should be the level of intellectualism that I would feed them.

> Yes, that's a genuine doubt.

> So the rule would not be treated as a child's tale.

* But will it be set in a fancy land.
> That might be a good option but it will make the task of writing all the more difficult.

* If I am going for a fancy land, what sort of place will be it and how will it differ from real life.

* Can the story be set inside the brain, after all I have to write the adventures of I and this would be a good experience for me for the same.

* But if I am setting it inside the brain, how will I introduce the rule.

* Why not work over two plots, one in real life and the other in brain, and then I will further work over which ever will suit me more. Besides, I will also have the option of undertaking both as a project.

* real life:
> The guy is searching for a rule, in the end, he recognizes his talent and decides to focus his entire life on it.

* So why exactly is he searching for this rule?
> Because he feels that something like this exists in this world.

* Should not I make it all simple and just jot down how things went for me during my iit days and in mnnit?
>

* Should I give up this novel thing and focus on story writing for now.
> Even after I would have written the stories, novels writing would be equally difficult.

* Should I accept that I cannot write a fictional novel?
> Look I can write a novel if I have all of it in my brain i.e. I am able to visualize it well. For example, I can very easily write My MNNIT days coz I have all of it in my brain and I need not to visualize anything about it. So if I am able to visualize my plot well, I am definitely not going to have any problem.

* In the novel, I may place events which the hero would realize in the end has made up his destiny like destiny planned my actions for writing like the one learning the typing class, the three year gap, the solitude, the low cpi, the breakups, the blogging etc.

* So all I need is a good visualization of the story.
> But for that, I need to have a story.

* Right now, I have the name of the novel and its central theme.

* I have to insert this destiny thing i.e. when the part of the puzzles reveal the whole picture.

* Can I not make it a story on my life, the typewriting, iit, mnnit, blogging etc

* What will be the thing (talent) that he will realize in the end?
> drawing
> writing
> singing
