Snapper

@Jenwriter17 I do songwriting too, so if you wanted any help with anything/another POV on lyrics, etc, feel free to drop me an email. *fingerguns*

@jenwriter17 You are very much welcome!

@alia @ariel-ashira Are either of you still here?

@ariel-ashira, I wish I had time to do that. sadly my self imposed deadline for my book is coming up, and I have to write a speech for my mom

@alia I am on, but I am not writing.  I am actually watching all the videos that Josiah and Daniel made.  Im about to die of laughter!!!

@rochellaine, @ariel-ashira, y’all on?

@daughteroftheking Those are great prompts!  Thanks for bringing this topic back.  It was so much fun!

Here’s one I thought of today:

“But why would he want to kill me?”
“I don’t know why he will do it, and I don’t know how he will do it. All I know is that in the end, you will be dead.”

@daeus @jess-penrose thank youuuu! 😀 I’m keeping all your guys’ tips in mind

@kaya-young thanks! <3

One tip: try to match the mood of the tune with the mood of the words to as fine a degree as possible.

@ariel-ashira When you get a chance you should look it up on YouTube. 🙂  It’s What a Comforting Thing to Know from The Slipper and the Rose.  One of my favorite musical songs ever…but then, I’ve got quite a lot of those! 😛

By the way, I’m revising the last section I showed you of my western where Chara wakes up.  You told me you might have…[Read more]

@rochellaine No I never heard it before.  Good morning!

@ariel-ashira Good morning!

Oh, do you know it?

@rochellaine That song is hilarious! 😀

@jenwriter17 Alrighty then. More on songwriting! (thanks @sam-kowal, yes I may be able to help.)

So, to be honest with you, the best way to write lyrics is to literally just write what is on your heart. Just write what you are thinking whether it is lament, praise, informing, or whatever you are feeling. See what sort of tune seems to flow from…[Read more]

@sam-kowal thanks so much! Yes, I’m working through watching those videos and trying to understand it all 🙂

@seekjustice Yup, it’s basically just a comical word. 🙂  Oh yeah, Newsies is American.  Okay. 😛

Great!

Yes!  It’s an amazing musical, made in 1976, so it’s old enough for me, but the style is modern enough that I think you’d like it.  The twist on the Cinderella story in this one is that after the prince tries on the slipper and finds the girl…[Read more]

@rochellaine Nope. the only time I’ve heard that word is in Newsies, but it is a fun word. Though I think it’s slightly too comical for the situation 😀

Actually, I like the term “swells”, it is a bit old-fashioned, but I think it works with the more slang way of speaking the lower class would have. It’s also the term Enjolras uses to describe…[Read more]

@seekjustice Do you use the phrase “highfalutin” in Australia? 😛  Just wondering.  That probably wouldn’t work in the scenario you describe.

In America the upperclass are called “the One Percenters” but…that’s kind of a political thing, and actually the One Percent are usually the more conservative capitalists, so they’re really not the “bad g…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Cool, okay. 😀

Well, point one, I’m trying to think of a term I could use instead of the word “Aristocrat”, something which conveys a similar meaning, and that the revolutionaries could use contemptuously.

Secondly, could I ask you some questions about my novel?
