View Full Version : To All Writers (Who take themselves seriously)

Now I know that perhaps Spurstalk isn't exactly a dwelling
ground for writers, whether it be novelists, song-writers, poets
or aspiring journalists.

But I'm almost certain there are some writers here, & I even have half
a mind to say there are some exceptional writers here.

Now, I've always been a song-writer, I've been playing guitar & bass for
13 years (I'm currently 21). I pride myself on my vocabulary, I'd say that perhaps my punctuation isn't top notch, but hey, neither was Jack Kerouac's.
Not a day goes by that I don't learn new words, or phrases.

Anyways. Recently, I've become very driven to write a screen-play, or maybe just a novel, but I've found it quite difficult to come up with a premise..
Obviously, I'd want it to be something profound, something deep, but also a premise that is perfect for building upon, characters & events.

I've come up with one, but it's very raw. I'd like to share it, and see
what you think, but first, I want to hear what other writers on this forum
have come up with. Don't worry, this isn't so I can steal your ideas.. It is to just create a forum with a creative writing environment, talk about it, share ideas and give feedback.

Feel free to reply.

Thanks!

You're very talented brother, it's great to talk
to a fellow musician here on ST.
But really, great great music.

Here is one of mine, I do sing, & yes I do suck
at singing, but tell me what you think. I like the guitar
is pretty decent.

I've written some poetry, had one of my poems read to the class (local JC) in my creative writing class, then read again to the class in another class that needed a poem. Mine the only poem read. It was.."Gunfighter"

The trick is to read read and read, absorb all you can. It's those influenses that soak in, be a sponge.

Very Nice, my friend.

Your guitar playing, tone, recording, are excellent. Your guitar playing is way ahead of your singing---for now--NO SHAME THERE.

If you are 21 there is a lot of places your voice can go--if there is one regret I have in my progression---it is that I never had confidence in my voice and so I never developed it. You are young enough where you can still develop both and your playing is already really good.

The song is a little rough and the melody could be better but there is a lot of potential there. Songwriting is a learned art.

When I was 21 I was in my Rhandy Rhoads/Van Halen/SRV phase and I wanted to play a million notes a second. I used to take my guitar everywhere and practice 16 hours a day.

Nice work. :toast

By the way, I didn't intend for people to share their ideas

Thanks man, I appreciate your kind words.
& actually, I recorded this song when I was 18..
I'd say my guitar playing has improved a tad,
but unfortunately, my vocals remain shaky.
but hey, it still works for me, in fact, the scene
where my band plays, has learned to love my vocals.
Bless their hearts, lol.

But you're correct, I plan to improve the vocals,
& if I'm at my ceiling in that area, I will just leave the vocals
to someone else.

Yes I do know everything about track that's why I had to make some changes. That first list was the 100 "yard" best that's why Willie McGee was there he was a 9.1 WR holder, I had mislabeled it meters when it should have read yards, there is a big difference. I was shown that yards list not meters. Getting it now? Oliver Ford and Rey Robinson had to be on the meters list not the yard one.

I don't have a ton of records, I have a ton of tapes and CD's, 6000-ish.

DAY HAD BROKEN cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main Yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. It was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. It was nine o'clock. There was no sun nor hint of sun, though there was not a cloud in the sky. It was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, a subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. This fact did not worry the man. He was used to the lack of sun. It had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.

Well, I just bought Final Draft 8, it's software for screen-writing. It cost me $250, so I'm pretty diligent on getting started.

I'm just going to go ahead and talk about my premise,
maybe that way we can all go back to talking about writing,
or music or poetry, whatever it may be.

My premise is, a man in his late 30's and his brother in his early 30's. The older brother is an author, who had just got a book published. The book sold very few copies and didn't receive any good reviews. Obviously, he & his family (wife & 13 year old son) are struggling financially, but more than anything (including money), he wants to be immortalized for a great, profound novel.

So he becomes fascinated with the story of Lord Timothy Dexter. An illiterate author from 1748, who published a book devoid of punctuation and correct spelling. Dexter decided to fake his own death to see what people would say or do.

So the older brother, conjures up an idea, that he himself would fake his death, & would only tell one person, the only person he trusts 100%, his younger brother. His younger brother is tasked with knowing his brother is not dead, pretending that he is, and reporting all of the reactions and feelings to his older brother, so that he may write them down, to create a riveting book based on a true story.

Of course, the main character is the younger brother, under-going emotional turmoil, having to witness the pain and despair among his loved ones, & especially growing closer to his older brother's son.

I have a bit more that I want to add to the idea.
but I'm sure you all get the gist (not a spurs reference).

feedback would be appreciated.
also! don't steal my idea! I beg of you. lol.
then again it might be a bad premise to most of you.

I am at work- but I will give it some thought and post something after work where I can sit and take my time and think.

Don't worry about getting ripped off until you actually have a complete story---or even if someone tries to rip it off--they would still have to do the real work of marketing it and selling it.

You would be lucky if someone stole it and made millions-because then you would have something to sue for $$$

Once you have an actual story/script- you would first get it copyrighted anyway.

I found the story of Dexter to be hilarious. It would be quite an undertaking to pull it off though, since you would have to spend some time developing the characters to the point where the audience sympathizes with them. They would need to spend time together, and the audience would need to be able to see the bond between the brothers in order to understand the antagonistic dilemma that the younger brother faces. I assume, of course, that the younger brother is the protagonist.

His younger brother is tasked with knowing his brother is not dead, pretending that he is, and reporting all of the reactions and feelings to his older brother, so that he may write them down, to create a riveting book based on a true story.

Of course, the main character is the younger brother, under-going emotional turmoil, having to witness the pain and despair among his loved ones, & especially growing closer to his older brother's son.

I have a bit more that I want to add to the idea.
but I'm sure you all get the gist (not a spurs reference).

feedback would be appreciated.
also! don't steal my idea! I beg of you. lol.
then again it might be a bad premise to most of you.

Are you planning on the audience being aware of this plot...or is the audience in on this secret. Something to consider. Probably more powerful if the audience also thinks the writer died...maybe discovering the ruse at the end...

Clipper Nation, thank you for your kind words. It took me a long time to come up with something that I feel will be my first, real, legitimate screenplay. By the way, I love The Royal Tenenbaums.

DMC, you're right, the younger brother is definitely the protagonist, & the older is the antagonist, but you know, he's going to have plenty of layers, along with the young one. & Thank you for reminding me, that first I need to solidify the closeness of the brothers, before the plot thickens. I'm going to have to spend a lot of time developing these characters, even the other family members, the older brother's wife and son (who is 13, old enough to where I have to create a unique personality for him). Their mother, & sister, friends of the younger brother, a love interest (can't leave it out). I value your advice, it's been great so far.

& mystix, I was planning on the audience being aware of the secret, because if it's kept a secret, there is no antagonist in the older brother, there is only a twist at the end. But I know what you mean, add a little shock value, I have a couple little bombshells I've been thinking about for the script. Like, since the younger brother is spending so much time with his nephew, his older brother's wife notices and it makes her feel good, so she comes on to him pretty strong. His younger brother would then have to tell his older brother, breaking his heart, and the older brother would still have to write it in his book.


Guys, when you think about these characters..
What actors do you think of playing these roles? Lol.
