Re: { INKLINGS } A Thread For Writers

I have a question for anyone viewing this;
If your book was published and two years after someone approached you because they wanted to produce it, and then they gave you the choice....What would you be? {only one!}
A. Executive Producer
B. Casting
C. Play a character!
Or D. Script!



I love how you all explained your answers and didn't just say, producer or something :)

Personally Casting. I already know which actors are playing my women in my books. Now just for the men...

Huh. That's difficult. I would want to do casting to find the perfect people to play the characters, but script writing to make sure nothing's ruined. I guess script writing and I'd find someone wo truly understands my characters to the max to find the perfect actors for my characters.

Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here—that life exists and identity,



That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

Can anyone help me with the wording of this sentence? I'm not sure if it's too long or anything
"His family instantly noticed a change in him. He went from an average boy doing no more and no less than his share of work to a determined, focused boy who always went above and beyond and never thought he was good enough."
Does anyone have any suggestions?

End the sentence at of work. And start a determined with: "then to a determined, focused boy

Separate it with a few commas, maybe...? And another word or two...? Maybe only say boy once, it's a little... snaggy.

"...He went from an average boy, doing no more and no less than his fair share of work, to a determined and focused boy teenager (?) who always went above and beyond and any and all expectations. (?) And yet he never thought he was good enough..."

      I really love how the plot is coming along, especially since it's original and not too cliche for angels and demons. Good to hear it has some interest. c: Any names you have, I'd love to see, considering I'm on vacation and don't have much recourse atm.

      I'll check the link out as well, thanks so much!

Sure :3 I have my own angel / demon story planned (actually, I have about three separate ideas for angel stories that I haven't written yet), so I'm a bit more focussed on them than most other types of stories xD
But yeah, it sounds interesting so far ^^

I have found my list of names (good thing I bought folders and organised my stories and notes a while back XD), but I'm not sure if they are new ones or all from the list I gave you ^^°
Here it is:
I've found something about seven arch angels (don't ask me where, I just noted down it's seven)
Oriphiel
Anael
Zachariel
Raphael
Samael
Gabriel
Michael
Uriel

The rulers of Hell:
Lucifer (ruler of all)
Azazel (ruler of the Nephilim)
Asmodeus
Leviathan
Abaddon
Samael
Semyazza (was a Grigori before)

Random demons:
Balberith
Lauviah
Maron
Salikotal
Astaroth
Vemine
Gressil
Sonneillon
Focalor
Fomeas
Nelchael
Pruflasis
Laum

Second Hierarchy demons:
Carreau
Camicean
Oeillet
Rosier
Vemier

Third Hierarchy demons:
Belial
Olivier
Iuvart

Other random demons:
Ariel
Barbiel
Mephistopheles
Asael
Arakiel
Gadriel
Nithael
Antares
Tumuel
Tamiel
Xaphan

And if you scroll down the wikipedia site I gave you, there's a nice link to here, which is a list of demons ^^ The other is a list of angels.

Anybody have any good writer's block fixers/ story prompts for when you run out of ideas?
whenever I hear a song on TV or in a movie, i can never listen to it the same way again...

Train your brain in creativity, then everything can trigger ideas. Works perfectly well for me, which is why my muse never shuts up any more.

If that doesn't help: http://languageisavirus.com/writing_pro ... bD_QNiP2a4
http://www.languageisavirus.com/article ... bEAttiP2a4

and just browse that site, there are some interesting generators that could trigger some creativity in you :3
