@filewriterbase13x 😀 Excellent! Feel free to use Stan and/or me, if you like, and yes, I totally recommend Dekreel’s Character Search Corner as well.
Hmm… tagging @jenwriter17 @supermonkey42 @seekjustice @ariel-ashira

@seekjustice Haha! I’ve always loved that “meet cute” too. It’s one of the closest ways you could realistically expect to be rescued since we don’t have dragons anymore. 😛
Oh, yes. Musicals tend to make everything better. 🙂
Is it going okay?

@seekjustice Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry!! I’m praying for you.
What’s the topic? (Only answer if you feel like you have time… 😉 )

@seekjustice Oh my! Yes, I’m around. 🙂 What do you need to be encouraged about?

@filewriterbase13x Have you seen the Character Search Corner that Dekreel made? It’s got a very extensive list of KP characters which should help you with writing any KP fiction.
Here’s the link in case you haven’t seen it yet.

@rochellaine Does that mean you don’t like any music with beats on the 2 and the 4? Or you just dislike guitar-based rock?
XD It’s intriguing to see someone describe a musician like Elvis as a new rock style, because usually I think of him as super old rock. That made me chuckle, but he was a new style for the time

@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]

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]

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

Sam Kowal replied to the topic Help!!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
@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?

My rule of thumb is that main characters should be both bright and deep. “Bright” as in they have some qualities that you (and hopefully your readers) find interesting (note: this is not the same as likable or attractive). “Deep” means that these traits come from a source (the characters’ past or background) that should at least be…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 *squeals* Characters are the best part of writing/storytelling for me! Don’t ask me how to create intense plots or even good pacing.. But characters? 🙂
Disclaimer, I doubt I know as much as I think I know about characters, and i’m pretty bad at explaining the stuff I do understand.
Okay so I think with character development t…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 Hi Grace! This is a cool question. 🙂 I’m going to answer it for myself, but I have no idea if my methods are the same as everyone else’s. 😀
Well, I read in the front page of every book where the author has the disclaimer which says something like “any resemblance to any persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental,” and I w…[Read more]

Hey! @celticcailin I’m pretty clueless when it comes to music but I think @jess-penrose does music? (maybe??)

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #15 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
@jess-penrose Hello! Cool! What kind of music do you compose? My brother is a classical style composer.
Seekjustice recommended that I read poetry by Banjo Patterson and Henry Lawson. 🙂
@seekjustice I’m going to get off now, and I guess you won’t be here when I get back. Jess, I might be back in about an hour for a little bit if you’re sti…[Read more]
