Open Writer’s Heart 1
This is the first time that I, in the name of writer, can talk to you, who are very kindness to visit my blog. Normally, you may think that I will mutter something to you that very bored. I just want to tell something about this story like behind the scene in the movies. I plan that every two or three chapters, I will post “Open writer’s heart” to talk to you.
Before I came to study at Assumption University, I was a writer in the journal club at Assumption College Sumutprakarn. Each school’s journal must have my article at least two articles. For the first article, it was about an important person in European history, as Marie Antoinette, Queen Mary of Scotland, etc. The second was about the problem in the society as the problem that Thai teenager using wrong Thai language. So, this is the first novel that I never write before.
Before I wrote this story, I had no idea to write anything because I felt very tired from the last semester. There was the first semester in ABAC, where was very far from my house in Samutprakarn province. I spend two hours to go to the university everyday while I spend only five minutes to go to my school when I was study at there. Sometimes, on a van or a bus during my journey to ABAC, I wrote the poem during that time and gave it to my friends to read. Most of them like my poem very much. When the classes were commencing in the second semester, I think that there was the time to write the story about my friends in my group. Although we were known only one semester, we were very intimate too. And when I asked them to write this story, they agree with me too. So, I started to write this story.
The first chapter of this story was written on Wednesday 1st November 2006, after the classes commence day. In that time, my friends look very excites to know that I write a novel about our group. They said I must publish this story to them when we graduate. The first chapter was finished on Wednesday 8th November 2006 in Thai version because every chapter I will write in Thai version and I will translate to English version after. I wrote the second chapter after I finish the first chapter about one week. This chapter was very hard because there was the beginning of the whole story. I spend about four weeks to write this chapter because I was a stand cheering in AU Games. The seniors of my faculty rehearse ours until evening everyday that I had not many time to write the story. So, the second chapter spends much time to write it and translate too. This chapter had a lot of description parts, the shape of Navaratanadara, the appearance of her, the scroll, etc. That you can see from the story. It was very hard to translate this chapter from Thai version to English version because in Thai version, I can describe every thing that I want to describe but for English version, I know only a few English idioms and conjunction. Sometimes, when you read this story, you maybe cannot understand what I describe to you of you feel it strange. I must apologize for my wrong at here.
From the first chapter, you may see the name of the academy is CABA, the Constitutional Angel’s Blessing Academy. My friends always ask me why I choose this name? The reason is CABA is the reverse word of ABAC, can you see? CABA and ABAC. After I chose the short name of the place that I use in this story, I find the meaning of each letter from my dictionary and I chose these words to be a place in my story. The scenes in this story, most of them I refer from ABAC that you can see the faculty of law’s tables was beside the library both ABAC and CABA too.
All of character in this story they are real person in our world except Navaratanadara whom I imagined from many of Thai poem. The main characters in this story are eleven persons. Bas, Benz, Bim, Champ, Kit, Kyo, Mod, Que, Safe, Ton (me) and another one will appear in chapter three, please waiting, I am writing that chapter now. (maybe after mid-term examination, it will finished) There are law students at ABAC like me. In the future, my friends and seniors whom I intimated with them or teachers will appear in this story too. Each character has their characteristic, but some of them may not clear in the first and the second chapters. It will clearer in the next chapters.
There are a lot of poem in this story. All of them I write it by myself did not copy from anywhere. Sure, I write it in Thai poem and translate it after that. I know a little about English poem that the last word of each line sounds same the last word of the next line. I feel very tired to translate them because some Thai words had their meaning very closed but for English, they use the same word. Some enigma use Thai vocabulary and meaning to give more detail. In English version, I change something to make readers easy to understand. I spend my time on journey to ABAC to write these poems in this story, some of these spend a few minute but some of these spend two or three days. You cam see a lot of poem in this story until this story will be end.
For the last, I want to say thank you for you who come to visit my blog. After you read my blog, please do not forget to comment my blog too. Your opinion will be my willpower to write this story. I hope you will enjoy with my story. Have a good New Year holidays
Happy new year, everyone!
