Birth Of A Novel

Severed Ties By MKDS

In 1995, equipped with only an old Olivetti ribbon typewriter and a dysfunctional VCR, I sat and watched John Carpenter’s “In The Mouth Of Madness”, one of my all time favorite horror movies.  John Carpenter being one of my idol horror writer’s, next to Stephen King, I had all faith in what I was about to see.

The general plot of the story went as thus: With the disappearance of hack horror writer Sutter Cane, all Hell is breaking loose…literally! Author Cane, it seems, has a knack for description that really brings his evil creepy-crawlies to life. Insurance investigator John Trent is sent to investigate Cane’s mysterious vanishing act and ends up in the sleepy little East Coast town of Hobb’s End. The fact that this town exists as a figment of Cane’s twisted imagination is only the beginning of Trent’s problems….

So, the story unravels into a crescendo of horror, and yet, with no disrespect to Mr. Carpenter, the film missed something!  Far be it for me to criticise an otherwise Master Piece of work from this great world writer and author, but I couldn’t help but notice a couple of possible unwalked slices of the storyline.  At best I can say with all honesty, I loved this film for scaring the living daylights out of me, and I loved the way in which the film pulled the viewer into the storyline, too.  Amazing.

A couple of weeks after having watched “In The Mouth Of Madness”, I decided to pull the page that I’d started to type the title on and inadvertently started to press on the keyboard keys…S…e…v…e…r…e…d…  What I had started to type unknowingly was the title for a new novel, something that at the time was to be a work in progress.  Eventually, and not before time the full title echoed around my head “Severed Ties”.

Severed Ties was started with a head jump of one whole chapter in less than eighteen hours, with another half-dozen pages added the following day.  I had succeeded in doing something to the writing, something that I believed was not of my own doing, but still in the drafting conditions of my own style.  The novel was both typed and hand written for almost six months before I began on my biggest writing project to date “Rainbow Colours”, the two-part autobiography that took nearly ten years to complete.

In 2008, packed with an up to date computer system and the appropriate writing software, I sat down and read through the unfinished novel’s pages.  My initial reaction was that I hadn’t written the chapters, nor the writings that lay inside, either.  I couldn’t believe what I was reading.  The plot lines, the character’s and the settings were truly awe-inspiring.  The re-reading of the book was enough for me to settle down and start tapping out more sentences for the story, and as the early hours brought the daylight through my study window, I found that another two dozen pages and one further chapter had been written.  It was after this that the story, again, took a back seat to another writing project that I completed some several months later – Brotherhood Of The Realms.

Today, Severed Ties remains unfinished.  The chapters, however, have reached a fourth installment of both psychological chaos and unimaginable horror.  It’s twists and turns bring confusion, but not enough for the reader [outside reader] to put down the book in discouragement.  An intentional breach had the story break away from the original concept, due to the title, something that I was somehow willing but not able to change.  Many told me that the title was fine, and that all the story needed was a sub heading of some kind.  It was this that became a mean fete for me to carry out…until now.

For the first time ever and exclusively for WordPress Readers, Severed Ties’s very first chapter is going to be available to read.  OK, some may say that if such a story that has impressed the writer/author was to be placed free on a Blog, then wouldn’t that be a mistake for the idea?  My only answer to this is simple, if I came by the idea from watching a film in the same category, then why not give someone the inspiration to add, expand or even better the creativeness of what I have achieved so far?

My only hope is that those reading this novel will Rate, Comment, Subscribe [If you wish] and enjoy the story.  Unfortunately, I cannot be held responsible for the way in which the story effects people’s minds, as I am not responsible for the way in which they think.

Enjoy.
