The Writer's thread

[GorePhobia]

I started writing at a young age. In the third grade we had an assignment to write where we would be in 2010 and I said I would be in Hollywood making movies. My dream was to always write and direct my own films. In the sixth grade I wrote my first feature-length script called "Terror in Gloucester." It was basically a rip off of "Scream" but my friends and I loved to be able to make a movie when we were about twelve so it was fun.

When I got in high school I started to write poetry and such. Putting my feelings and mindset on paper in poem for helped me. For awhile I just wrote poetry and some short stories. Then in about ninth grade I was on the bowling team and a fellow student named Steve told me he was a guitarist in a metal band and I told him I'd like to be their singer. Starting then on out I was a singer/songwriter and to this day I have been writing my own lyrics for our band.

Then in eleventh grade I wrote another feature-length script entitled "Payback's a Bitch." I showed it to a bunch of people and they all enjoyed it. I was going to make it as soon as I had the time but then some how I misplaced it and without saving it or making another copy it was lost forever. My senior year is when I made a bunch of different short films and such. Some I wrote and others were improvised. The last short film I wrote was the one I posted on here that you all read called "Missing Persons." That was a fun one to write and I plan on finishing the other four stories in the anthology.

Since then I haven't really written any movies or such just some poetry here and there and the lyrics to my bands music. I haven't really been in the mood to write. Nor have I had any good ideas for anything big. I hope to start writing again because I really want to be a filmmaker but it just seems like something that is too far away at the moment.

I love reading but also do a bit of writing in my spare time. Poems, short stories and parody songs. I did most of my parody writing back when I was a member of habbo hotel so most are habbo themed.

Also, I do my own comedy sketches for school talents shows and such.

I don't know if I'd really be considered I'm just a guy who happens to write from time to time. I took a Creative Writing class last semester but I didn't do too good at it because the teacher would always give us topics I wasn't interested in and I could never keep anything under 500 words. So now one of my friends and I just write short scripts for videos we plan to film (But rarely do). We're gonna start working on a feature-length one soon.

One Aprils Fool Day
I Had So Much Fun
I Thought I Would Stay

I Wonder If A Screenplay
Would Be Accepted In Verse
I Could Get Uwe Boll To Direct
His Movies Couldn't Get Any Worse

And Johnny Depp Would Star
Hes My Kind Of Thespian
Or Maybe I Could Get Ellen
And Make It About A Lesbian

Yes A Lesbian Movie It Will Be
With Rhyming And Dancing As Well
And Juggling Would Be Nice
Think Of All The Tickets I'd Sell

And In A Years Time
When The Academy Comes To Call
I Shall Receive My Oscar
For "the Carpetmuncher's Ball"

Just whipped it up didn't ya? I liked it. I know, I can't find enough poems that incorporate the horible Uwe Boll and Ellen. LOL


On making the movies it seems like time and possible in my case finding people willing to do it. I love making movies. The concept has thrilled me since I was in gradeschool. I filmed a comedy/parody skit with some friends in grade school for an assignment, but nothing serious came from it.

He simply had no idea it was Mary Shelley in disguise.

okay, people should still keep sharing how they started if they want to, but i figured i would move on (finally)

What inspires you?

it snowed here last night, but today the sky is clear. it is frigid outside and there is a strong wind, so the dry snow is blowing off of the tree limbs making it look like it is snowing with a clear sky.

Immediately my brain started mapping out a winter/arctic section of the fantasy story i am beginning (anyone who read Emberwind knows one o fthe characters ;)) I am heavily influenced by nature, with media being a close second (a single scene from a movie or a video game has inspired entire worlds)

What about you? What gets you/keeps you writing?

My boys inspire me

now I know what true horror is

Really quick on the first part- I started writing free verse poetry, so that I wouldn't have to contend with the sloppiness of forced rhyme. I moved into stories as I got into my teens. These have been some of my greater successes. After I writer my book. I'm thinking about keeping balance between "non"fiction and plays. For some reason, plays have always called out to me. I have a deep rooted passion for drama.

Writing is my magic. It's my my mojo and the key source of my Witcherey. I call it "Story Magic." In someways we are creators, but not ultimatley. Ultimatlely the created is there, we structure the patterns.
