aye, that's fine. It's like any other memoir fiction. Bridget Jones' Diary, Anne Frank's Diary, Diary of a Dorky Kid, etc. You could make it comedic like Bridget Jones...dramatic like Anne Frank, etc. It's almost a 'chicken-soup-for-the-soul' kind of fiction. It's all about execution. If you write it well, it'll work. If you preach or don't offer anecdotal narration...it'll flop.
But make sure you learn the craft of writing fiction. You don't want to copy/paste your journal into manuscript form. That would be a tedious read. You still need to alter the events just enough so that there's a clear plot line and characters. Give yourself creative license..don't force yourself to follow what truly happened in your diaries. Let your diary inspire you, not limit you, (don't feel like you have to follow everything that happened exactly as it happened. It's fiction for a reason..made-up. And leave out the tedious, silly events that do nothing to progress plot or character development). Good luck. |
