what do you write?

dramatic monologues and psychological horror (often in the same piece)

 

I used to write alot of fantacy/drama kind of stories based around my friends and I.

Now that I'm lazy and have semi-perm writers bock I jut write character profiles and dream of what great stories I could make with them.

 

I try to write a lot of variety instead of getting stuck in one genre, even though I don't post everything and sometimes what I post gets stuck in one genre.

 

Thus far, my writing has been limited to fantasy and to chronicling my life experiences, most especially those which occur during my travels. I would someday like to produce a semi-fictional, autobiographical work based on these experiences. I enjoy fantasy because I have a rather active imagination, and this genre allows me to utilize it to the fullest. When writing fantasy, I tend to stick to the more believable (i.e. without magic and mystical creatures).

 

I like science fiction, but I don't know if I write science fiction, because it's not about science. I want to write with Milan Kundera's insight, Borges' sense of technique, and W.S. Burroughs' embrace of high and low art, also with JG Ballard's descriptiveness... but all melted together, so no one knows what to make of it.

 

Genre is kind of an issue. I think the best books play with genre; even if you write within a genre, knowing its conventions allows us to decide whether we want to write "normal" or "abnormal" according to taste. Expectation is inevitable when you write to be read, and I think trying to ignore it is a bad idea.

 

I am really a fan of writing fiction. I usually write in what could be considered the Dark Ages, although right now I just have a collection of short stories focused on 9th century Britain and the Danish invasion. But I have also dabbled a little into drama and plays, but I have not completed anything yet.

 

i write the wierd world inside my head, the one i visit in my dreams, the one where little people sized trains go everywhere and there's no keep out signs, nor very many people about mucking things up. which isn't easy to write about because it isn't messed up enough to make most writing conventions very useful to it. going to science fiction and furry conventions is fun though. or at least people who are more fun to me then most of the people i meet very often seem to make up most of the people who like to go to them and organize them and so on.

of course i'm not claiming that i write at all. certainly nothing i'd expect anyone to consider worth their while to publish. which is why i love the net. you get to hear and say things that the intrests of grinding the money wheel just don't care about, which, well, i don't see how anything THEY care about is very interesting at all either.

i mean not because its them, but that it just isn't, however much gratuitious conventionality tries to pretend to be, it just ain't. but take even the simplest encounters, i mean even with totally inert objects, given a sufficiently unfamiliar environment, i mean then you've got something.

perhapse because the gratification of exploring, even the simplist creatures, well, that's what they've got to keep them going, to keep them interested in life and surviving.

we're lucky, we who have this capacity and drive to not only explore, but create also.
which is of course also, precisely why the time wasted on anything that isn't creating or exploring, other then to survive, just doesn't gratify at all.

I have several stories in my head that I would like to write. They have no sex, lots of romance, and a certian amount of violence. In most of them the protagonist is a soldier or a military veteran.

If I would write a movie script the most it would rate would be PG13 for violence. There would be no sex, no nudity, and no obscene words. The violence would advance the plot. The plot would not exist in order to tie together a lot of fight scenes.

 

I write mostly horror, romance, rarely do sci-fi, comedy (though always dark), and philosophy, also some political works as well (mostly health oriented).

 

I'm compelled to tell people's stories. There are so many crazy things that happen in real life. I'm a traditional story-teller. Also, I like to incorporate photos to help tell these stories both professionally as a community journalist and on my free time.
