Reader,Writer,Thinker Essay

When I read, I feel as if I escape from this world to chase my dreams through a book. I love

reading. I’ve enjoyed reading ever since fourth grade, I remember my first chapter book was The BFG

I was always protective over my work and I hated for others to see it, until it was “ready”. Even then, I felt funny about sharing it, until it was published; then I didn’t want to talk about it. My writing was usually just a “thing” I did. I’ve had people just grab my stuff and share it with others, read it without permission, and I just stopped writing. I’m considering creative writing as a serious exercise, once again. Why would I share it with the world, without publishing? That’s working for free, giving birth to a child and giving it up for adoption, never knowing what happens afterward…it’s pointless, unless it’s shameful; or I can’t support it.

When I write, it’s my heart, soul and experience. I don’t want to share unless it’s perfect, or as close as I can get.

I’m not sure what I should be writing about; should I be describing the different writing techniques she uses, (1st person, pathetic fallacy, etc,) or about the words and language, and how they are effective; or about how her character makes us empathetic drawing us into the story? etc etc.

Suggestions please. (:

This is pretty much a creative exercise to write a poem pretending to be George W. Bush.

These are some guidelines for aspiring poets. Forget cliches. If something is commonly used to describe or compare it to another, it has no business in a poem. Rhyming common words like rain with pain, love with above, heart with start is all trite. You do not want your poem to read like a greeting card unless you are working for Hallmark. Use fresh imagery that you can see in your mind’s eye. Show, don’t tell. Use all of your senses. Try not to focus only on the overused theme of lost love, or if you must, create your original description of it. Get a dictionary and thesaurus and make sure the words you use are spelled right and mean what you actually want them to say. Dictionary.com can help you with this. Expand your vocabulary in your poetry. Never use somebody else’s words or phrases in your original work. At worst, it’s plagiarism; at best, you are guilty of unoriginal thinking. Reach beyond your linguistic grasp and discover new ways to describe common things. Practice sensory exercises to teach you how to find new ways to describe common objects or scenes. Proofread.
Perhaps, Ben, I should have added that I give poetry workshops for at-risk junior and senior high school students in the Orleans Parish public schools in New Orleans, Louisiana. Ergo, I am a Creative Writing teacher.
Calm down, people. My goodness! Some here seem to have anger issues. I didn’t mean to offend anyone, but I see many young poets asking for feedback and thought I would offer not rules, but some very, very generic guidelines that would help them avoid common poetry pitfalls. I’m not trying to tell anybody how to write or what to write, and don’t care whether or not anyone follows my suggestions. Originality in poetry and prose is always preferable over hackneyed phrases; I don’t care what you may have published in a vanity press. If you write, you should already know this. And Peter, of course I think your poem is good. You know it’s good. I won’t publish any of my work online due to copyright issues, so sorry, no examples. I wish everybody continued luck in all their writing endeavors.

I know a video game script is different than a novel or movie script, I am about 25 pages in and I would like to know if I am writing the script correctly. Here’s the format of how I am writing each part of the story.
Example:
-MC1(Main Character) suddenly wakes up in a cold sweat.
-MC1 gets up out of his bed and change clothes and exit his apartment.
-MC1 is walking through the city and suddenly sees three thiefs robbing an old lady in the alley.
-MC1 rush to the location and engage in battle with the three…
-MC1 defeats the three…
-The older lady thanks MC1 and gives him a dollar for thanking him…
So forth and so on…
The above example is how I am writing the story…
Once it is complete, I plan to add more dialog to each scene,( like the old lady and MC1 would say much more in detail after the battle). Is this the proper way to write a RPG story script???

In June 2002, director Steven Spielberg told Starlog magazine that he planned to produce Jurassic Park IV, and director Joe Johnston, who helmed Jurassic Park III, would direct it.[15] In November 2002, screenwriter William Monahan was hired to write,[16] with the film’s release slated for summer 2005.[17] In July 2003, Monahan completed the first draft, with the story no longer set in the jungle.[18] Actor Sam Neill said he was returning as Dr. Alan Grant, with filming expected to begin in 2004 in California and Hawaii.[19] In September 2004, screenwriter John Sayles was re-writing the script, with the film re-slated for a winter 2005 release.[20] His second draft focused on the new character Nick Harris, who returns to Isla Nublar, the location of the first film, and retrieves Dennis Nedry’s can of DNA. He is captured by the Grendel corporation, which now owns InGen, and he is hired to train five genetically modified Deinonychus as mercenaries. The film was delayed to 2009.

Have fun with more “ink” rhymes, or color rhymes. Okay to do a short paragraph or short short story.
This is NOT homework. I am in my 30s. It’s a creative writing exercise. Thanks.

Nothing x-rated, please.

This question is intended for authors who’d like to do a little creative writing exercise when given sort of a fun “assignment,” even though it won’t be published except for here. Some people ask for ideas for something to write about. This one is just for exercising our brains & creativity, plus thinking how both society & the characters in the movie would have changed over time.

When & where did you see this movie? Was it too radical for some communities? Is it too radical even now for television?

I’m currently doing most of the work in Photoshop CS2.

I’ll create exercises using MuseScore, save them as .pdf files, open them in Photoshop, crop the exercises and drop them into a “template” I’ve created (CMYK, 300 dps, 8.5 x 11, 1″ margins top & bottom, 1.25″ left & right). I’m doing all layout, text and images (such as keyboard/fretboard fingering charts) in Photoshop – one page at a time. I’m saving the file as flat .pdf copies.

The problem is this is very time consuming and the .pdf files (even flattened) are rather large. Any suggestions?
