@skredder Novel called Eyes of the Future (Name is still on probation.)

@skredder Oh yay! What are you working on?

@leumeister Woooow…. that is so awesome. That high squeaky melody on Mach 11! It’s chill as ice but it also sounds playful and emotional. I also like how 2nd Chances sounds electronic, but also organic. XD I sorta wish I could buy the track to support you, but bandcamp doesn’t accept cash….

Hmm, the Linux MultiMedia Studio looks pretty…[Read more]

Okay. I am writing.

Characters can be super tough. After all, it’s like trying to create your own little person, and make them seem real, with nothing but letters. I’ve had a lot of trouble with characters at times, too, and often mine would come off as dry or boring.

But yes, despite that, I do still get excited about characters! Characters can…[Read more]

@celticcailin

Yep @notawriter I am a music person.

Ah, step one is probably looking at what style of music it is. (For example, pop is different to country which is different to opera which is different to folk which is different to metal, etc.) The rules change for each style because the ‘rules’ are actually what people find sounds nice. Oh,…[Read more]

@waterlily, I have a very interesting style of either I completely plan out the book, or just have a vague idea and go with the flow. there is no in between for me until I have gotten father into it.

I have found it easiest to not outline in the beginning, but as the story progresses to jot down your ideas. But that might just be me

@celticcailin Also, here’s a link to a songwriting topic we had here awhile ago

@supermonkey42 😀 Yep. And Stan sings them. It’s hard on the ears, believe me

@celticcailin I have some experience writing songs and such, but I’m definitely no expert. I actually barely know anything about any real songwriting ‘rules’ I just go from what I like to write personally. I’d love to give you any help I can. Do you want to post your songs, or a link to them?

@ariel-ashira, my plan is to have it done by June. So be on the lookout then for a way to read it then

I use K.M.Wieland’s outlining system for outlining my novel. I only do basic outlines of chapters when I come to them. I also keep a long bullet list of random ideas for my story and many of these ideas end up getting woven into the plot.

I love outlining (or, at least I love how it works for me) and I don’t think I know anybody who has tried outlining and been disappointed by it. I also know a couple people who have tried outlining and been happy they did.

At the same time, I don’t recommend outlining everything. Your story needs room to evolve. If you outline too deeply, you’ll…[Read more]

@seekjustice WOAH. I’m so scared. I’m so scared. My word, reading Manly with Chessy was so heartbreaking :'( And Zachary and Justice being cousins gives this a different dynamic. I’m so scared. AHHHHHHHH

@alia Sure thing!

Well I am back and writing! (sorry no longer composing)

@seekjustice Ah, I love all music and can play a few instruments, but I really enjoy composing. *claps happily* Alllllll of the fun creative outlets. *wilts slightly* Even if this one has condition because it is an assignment.

But anyways. Time to write.

@rochellaine And I’m actually about to leave to catch a bus, so bye also! (And I maaay be around in a bit. Depends on if the random wifi turns up or not. )

@rochellaine At the moment I’m composing baroque, but I generally compose modern melodic pieces for more song-like instruments. (woodwind, strings.) That or I do fun film music-y style things.

@rochellaine Hi!

I’m composing right now, not writing words, but notes.

AND OH YES. How could I have forgotten the Billabong books??? They are so good! And yes. You also should read our poetry. *nodnod* That’s what I think we’ve done the best.

@rochellaine

That’s fine. How did (Mach 11 was it, or was it Second Chances?)… one of those sound like Cannon in D? I’m curious… Also, rock music? How did it sound like rock music?

Thank you for checking them out, though. If you know of anyone who would be interested in my music, though, I’d be grateful if you could send it on to them! ^_^
