It is a struggle to come up with the ideas of the story. It is difficult to find the right concept that will keep your attention along with the reader. However, once I have a story, it is not difficult for me to choose its order.
The suburban city is setting up all my books. It is the only thread that connects them together in addition to sharing the same medium -sized gender.
I always live in suburbs. I have a comfort to know about the setting and out of the set, and it allows me to pay attention to other elements of my stories because I know that I am connected to the nails. It becomes a maze in which I leave my characters, and it allows me to penetrate in different areas of this concentrated place.
It may be limited, but to me, the suburbs are not only a clear order for me but the most impressive. Below I share my love with the suburbs and how this creative story shapes the story.
My history with suburban areas
I was born in a small suburbs just south of Pittsburg, PA. Now I live in another small suburb of Pittsburg, PA. The area is made of sacks and settlements, most of which were settled in the early 1900s. Therefore, there is a combination of old and new structures that make it a permanent but permanent place to live, work and play.
This area is a mountain with many trees, not only in the front and backyard, but also many areas of the forest along with developed plots and roadside. Homes with brick and wooden frames are common in each locality. The new areas are quite equal in styles and structures, while older people are more electoral. A small, brick field house can be placed in a position with a roundown Victorian, while two -storey Duplex can sit on the road right.
We have a four -season year with which you have more gray day and less snow than you expected. But there are many cold days that can begin in early October and can increase by the first week of May.
Each sack has its own grocery stores in its grocery stores, banks, schools, libraries, churches and restaurants. Public transport comes in the form of buses and trolleys that will shed passengers in cities or other cities nearby for work, but many of us are driving, and most of us still go to school to their children.
I am quite growing up from the city so that it can’t see it out of its window, but we still keep the Pittsburgh tone around, we have the roots of all sports teams, and traveling throughout the city is a sharp drive through one of the closest tunnels that separates it from its southern suburbs and one of the opposing areas. To me, this is the best in all the worlds.
Childhood in the suburbs
Children take the most of their environment and freedom that everyone brings. For suburbs, what you’ve seen in movies is true – to some extent. Children walk or ride their bikes in familiar streets. There are small businesses that they like to repeatedly with whatever pocket money can reduce, and there are many places here to find.
In the 90s, my suburban childhood was in many ways of the Story Book. Since I came out quite to get out with myself or with my friends, we started handling some areas: forests adjacent to the nearby golf course, a crack that ran under a major road, Daily which sold cheap candy and snacks, and of course, playgrounds and libraries.
I went to school from kindergarten to second grade, though it was possible to walk in a pinch, which is sometimes in a car’s house. From the third to fifth grade, I went to school, which was just around my house.
I am not going to know how we were out of sunrise every day of the year after the darkness. There was a lot of time in the house, but especially in the summer, there were many days spent and there were many nights about it where we were out after the darkness.
The year where I was still enough to play but had enough old to do a few blocks from home. It is a perfect combination of freedom without the responsibilities of youth. And this makes friendly stories for children.
Friendship in the suburbs
I feel like friendship works in the suburbs as it does anywhere. You attach yourself to children, usually they often go to your own age, who live closely and you often play in your yard. Finally, you all end in the same school, and it begins a completely new dynamic where you are thrown away with others of your age.
Before I was enough to go out to get out of myself or befriended at school, I wandered with older children living in neighboring homes. As a young, impressive child, I believed in everything they told me, and they are often happy to intimidate me or teach me about things that were beyond my maturity level.
Once I became one of the older children in the neighborhood, I made sure to do the opposite of the children I saw. Instead, we became a large group. No one was excluded, and we sometimes knocked on the doors to get such a large group as we believe in a game, a game, or some people.
In those years, especially the summer, became the concept of my third novel, Castle Park ChildWhich detects a suburban life through the lens of my experience. This is mainly my version Sandals.
The reputation of suburban areas
The suburbs are as complex as they live in. You think of them is full of nuclear families that have a comfortable life and small problems. They have to stare at their windows in search of small pieces of gossip because they have nothing to talk about, and they all share in the same system and politics.
This can be what they want to believe in the desired people of the 1950s, and this reputation can remain the fiction of the suburbs, but anyone who lives here knows that it is just as many places as anywhere. There is a lot behind the walls of every household, and sometimes, the most surprising things can go down and go through the chains of gossip.
The darkness of suburbs
We are not safe from violence and tragedy no matter where we go. In my neighborhood, violence, suicide and drug addiction were seen. There were stolen, fire, floods and car accidents. Many children were targeted by cars. Many times I attended the last rites for one of a teenage, parent, or a dear elderly neighbors.
I have heard that the children have been beaten on the other side of their next gates. I saw that drunk parents stumble in their homes after work or after one night and go to their spouse and children to the verbal taride.
Houses in the suburbs are quite different that you do not have to live in the sense of the city’s life, but sometimes, even a courtyard can be close to collision. People will quarrel about property lines, animals, children you name.
There are children’s thugs that will chase you, steal your toys, throw stones at you and break your luggage. They will chant the horrific things about you in front of your friends, and if you try to add an adult, they will follow you. There are also adult thugs who will also curse you to step into their yard, threatening to call the police for small reasons, or just simple you start to crawl so that you can refrain from surrounding them.
Knowing the blasphemous aspects of the suburbs can make great horror, science -fi and imaginary stories. There may be anything in the suburbs. Therefore, it makes stories like they are seen in Et, stranger things, And Polytergest Valued, nothing is telling what will go down in our backyard, what is buried under our yard, and secret organizations are secretly doing in a simple look.
Final views on suburban areas
Setting is one of the building blocks that makes the story a solid base. And the clear and concentrated grip of this setting can make the world’s building so easy, especially when the world building is not your strong suit.
I try to write books that are relevant, but before that I have to be relevant. I attract my experiences so that I have something to say and go to my young readers.
For me, it begins with familiarity with the surroundings. Even if I am not familiar with my reader in these surroundings, I try to get a lot of relief with him so that he will become aware of them by the end. And, hopefully, it will create a real feeling like their live experience, which is designed to get stories, no matter how real, it is as real as the scene outside your window.
