Tell me jokes Make me laugh I dare you You don't want to see me sad Tell me why They'd make me mad No eye contact You don't want to hear me wail No words They're all the same Hurt me one time You don't want me to snap in half Laugh at me Point at me You're all alone You wouldn't see me leaving Trash me I can't defend Because it's you I'm quietly vanishing There is no dirt on my hands Your words echo, so I won't ask All the images are burning in me When I choose to laugh it all off Laugh with me Sob with me We are all staring at the walls But I still don't say no Trick me Leave me Stab me I'll laugh it all off I don't have a reason To

One Life, Two meanings, One beats the heart, Another brings color to the world.

World Building Formula Section 1: Real Life Influences Before we delve into creating an imaginary world, we must understand the importance of using real life influences as a base. No one can imagine anything not based on real life. The best way to start creating or to fine-tune an imaginary world is to find influences from our world to be inspired from. If a fantastical world has cargo full of imaginary species and magic or alternate laws of physics, the reader needs something, at least a few principles, that are the same as Earth’s so that they have grounding in your story. There’s a fine balance, as many wise writer types will

The classical Movie Introduction – Sometimes, you get a hero. Not over time, but right at the start – this is your hero. He's confident, he's suave, and he always packs his shaving cream. Somehow he always manages to get that beard just right, despite the fact that you've never seen him trim. Everything about him is admirable, and you just wanna follow him like a little puppy dog because that's how AWESOME he is. …it might work, but you still shouldn't do it. It's one thing for movies, where you can simply follow someone's action across the screens. In books, you want the closeness that only seeing the character fall on their

I was going to make this into a Youtube vid but it’s such a long-winded speech and a lot of the time my dad is in the room right next to me (darn dad working at home now). Besides, in text form, I can’t mispronounce things and you can refer back to this information. So suppose you’re a person who wants to make an epic story for people to remember for generations to come (be it for a movie, book, game or whatever), like The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Seems easy, but to tell the truth it’s much easier said than done. How do you do it? More importantly……Where do you start? Step 1: The Idea Well the best p

We all know by now that character flaws are very important to maintaining an identifiable hero in any story you create. But we don’t just have protagonists to write about in our stories. Our heroes and heroines need an arch nemesis to fight against, the antagonist of the storyline, the bad guy who reaps fiery infernos of vengeance upon the good guy. The bad guys need flaws as well—but not just any flaw; they need flaws that will make them hateable, flaws that are absolutely unforgiveable. These bad guys must have the reader so angry at them that they identify even more with the hero or heroine. These flaws can’t be just an

For better or for worst (whether it's sexist or not) there are basic archetypes for the love interest that are mostly available to males. Mind you, this just makes it all the more fun to apply it to a girl instead… but for now, I'll stick to "he" except in a few cases, and leave it to you to mess around with the order of things. The White Knight - AKA the Boring One. Seriously, no one needs the classic pure and chase knights from fairy tales. They suck. They stink. They have absolutely nothing of interest to them, except for repeated mockability. Now, stick that same knight in a world where everything is dark and impure, and you MIGHT
