A fairly naive endeavor, in fact. I wrote in a pocket book, which I don’t know the place it’s as we speak. I do not forget that in my ‘novel,’ the primary heroine was combating for her individuals’s freedom—no shock, I used to be influenced by Beneath the Yoke. After I revisited among the chapters later—quick, however stuffed with motion—I seen that in a single scene, golden wheat stalks are swaying, and within the subsequent, which takes place the next day, it’s already snowing. Fairly humorous, nevertheless it’s attention-grabbing that as a baby I needed to be a author. Years handed, and I had forgotten that dream.

I first submitted it to publishing homes in my dwelling nation, Bulgaria. One of many bigger publishing homes expressed curiosity. In reality, they supplied suggestions that was fairly motivating and inspiring. The rationale they declined my ebook was industrial; the market in Bulgaria is small, this yr’s tendencies are completely different, and I’m an unknown, debut writer.

I made a decision to publish my ebook on Amazon. Apparently, I discovered myself surrounded by the suitable individuals. A detailed buddy of mine, Violeta Todorova, did the skilled translation into English, and with one other buddy, Vasilena Manolakeva, we labored on the duvet. We mixed our concepts, and he or she, being an expert within the area and a drawing instructor, created an exquisite cowl—black and white for the e-book and shade for the print version.

They didn’t wish to… “I didn’t imply to”—in Bulgaria, kids typically say this after they wish to emphasize that they’d no intention of doing the mischief they ended up doing. “I didn’t imply to” associated to younger individuals with convictions, struck me deeply. In spite of everything, they had been youngsters on the time, primarily nonetheless kids.
Reflecting on the subject, I started to ask myself questions concerning the selections everybody makes, even the small ones, and their unexpected penalties. This led to the thought for the primary theme of my novel – butterfly impact.
The opposite themes and subthemes emerged whereas engaged on the plot, characters, and their interactions. One theme spawned one other or a subtheme.
Finally, I can spotlight that in “I didn’t imply to, however…” yow will discover extra themes: redemption and the burden of conscience; identification and what shapes it; the affect of others and the setting; parent-child relationships; over-control disguised as care and the trouble to do the very best on your youngster; the affect of cash… And never least, the theme of the undesirable consequence that you just in any other case strove for with all of your may, believing on the time that it was exactly what you needed. Maybe, however ultimately, it typically seems that it’s not what you wanted.

I write from the center and I’ve delved deeply into the psychological portraits of the characters and their improvement. It’d sound like a cliché, nevertheless it’s true. That’s why I attribute the suggestions about reasonable characters and the emotional impression of my writing to this.
As one other confession, I’d wish to share that I don’t goal to mislead the reader or throw in even illogical twists simply to make sure that I shock them. The event of occasions in my ebook is ruled by the characters and follows the logic of their development.
