coming soon

I know I always say I am going to get down and start writing Millinum right now I am thinking of ideas still and figuring out how I am going to write a story that goes through various characters point of view. Also since PRIDE is coming up maybe I might do another slasher story this time I was thinking of going with the typical killer story maybe in the woods. Also I do plan to rewrite Love Twist and maybe add a couple of diffrent things to make it all more interesting and some things that I want to do when I first wrote it. Soon I promise the surviors will be moving along the story of Jack needs to be told so look for that.

The Big Picture

So when ever I go to exactly write the story I do one main thing. If I am at work and I know I want to write soon, i will form the story in my head so for example I formed a scene from Love Twist in my head. So when i go to write I recall that scene or picture. I close my eyes and think of that scene and pretend I am the character and I try think, what can i see, smell, taste, hear, or even feel. When I wrote as one of the other characters from Love Twist I got so into a particular character that it creeped me out but in a awesome way. For some of you have read my other journal my more personal one, you may have noticed I post video clips or song lyrics. Whenever I imagine a scene in a story I want to write I also imgaine it like a music video. Writing is esentially like a music video just without the music or the live action or animation. Next time when I sit down and share some more insight into my writing I will share some more of my thoughts and even what happens when I start to write as well as some other things here and there.

Where do ideas come from

One of the first behind the scenes of my writing process is understanding where I get my ideas and the story from. First off most of my stories are based off of things I encounter in life, think about, or even something that has happened to someone. Or even taking something and changing it around then making it somewhat better at least I think so.

A good example of this last part is The Surviors. Although I didn't think up the idea it belongs to my friend Steven. What he did was take parts of Resident Evil and combinded it with a modern day life of Phoenix, instead of Raccoon City or any other settings from the game series. So in surviors you might see character names or monsters from Resident Evil but that doesn't mean they are the same.

A good example of a story/idea I came up with something that i had encountered is the story of Love Twist. At the least the first part of the story. Likeing someone but not knowing if that person likes you, only to find out someone you may not like, likes you in return. That is the basis of Love Twist at least the first part.

A good idea of me thinking and coming up with a story idea occured to me one day at my work. What if Y2K had happened or what if it still happened one of these days. How would people live, how would they react, or what would people do.

The same thing of any of the above examples like the Survior example, Love Twist, and even the Y2K story, come from the various ways I come up with story ideas and the story.

Off The Beaten Path

So right now I have been busy alot with my life just been working hard and what not. I even have the chance at being a assistant and I am semi regretting that but enough with my personal life I have a blog for that. I just wanted to update and mention that soon the first chapter of the surviors will be out, the wait is good to have especially with planning a big work in progress like the surviors. So be prepared for that soon.

Coming Soon....

Imagine a young man who finds love but then it is taken from him again and then he finds it once more but loses it. It's the story I first started off writting about a year ago in April the only thing I can think of that makes it diffrent from then is, i had called it not another love story, but I think Love Twist fits really well for it.

Also another orginal story I want to work on is going to be about what if Y2k had happened and then after that I am going to write another orginal story about love that could be a opera in away.
A story of survial and friendship is the best way to to describe the story of the Surviors. Basically imagine the game Resident Evil set in Phoenix, Arizona. The story revolves around a character named Jack Daniels as he tells us of the story of Biosyn a pharmetcutical company who is greedy and will do anything to gain power and money. Along the way Jack meets other surviors like himself. I started writing the surviors a while back but at the time I rushed it so I think even thoguh I liked it, I might redo it and and some things I took out before or just change it to make it better. So look for the first chapter of the surviors coming up as well as the story behind it.
