Shame I'm in Britain... Ah, well. We all know I'm not real, anyway. I'm just a figment of the internet. *Disappears*Radelaide said:
I often do the same regarding the characters and the songs. I'm currently writing a little historical novel set in 12th century Persia (think Assassin's Creed) and all my brainstorming takes place during these periods. I start thinking "Oh, but if Sohayla was to do so-and-so, Ismail would have to go to X before...".Michael_McCloud said:
I love writing songs in my head. The rhythmical nature of the wheels of the train helps me a lot, but even when I write them down and take them home with me, 90% of the time I CAN'T put music to them. What I usually do is write a little drum beat for them in FL Studio, something simple and minimal, and then have that playing while I try to compose something on either the guitar or the piano. But I think I'll have to ask my music teacher to show me how to know what chord is the right one to play given this or that vocal part.
Never tried talking to one of my characters! I have to ride the train today to meet some friends, so I suppose I'll give it a try.
I think about new and exciting ways to mess with peoples minds and or lives. I also think of ways to use logic and my intelligence to get things for reduced prices at my local firearms store.
How come your favourite snacks always come in two sizes; "Nowhere near enough" and "G'damn, I can't eat all that!"?
Like Goldfish Crackers. They either come in that teeny bag that lasts maybe 5 minutes or the huge box with three one-pound bags in them. Have to hide that box if you're not the sharing type or next time you go for them, they're gone!
Or Hot Rods...there's that five pack that usually tastes like crap or the Box of 20 or 40.
And how come extreme irritants only seem to appear when your patience has been worn down to that last frazzled nerve? For example, you've had a long hard day. You just wanna get some fast food, go home, throw on your favourite comic's DVD or scream into a pillow (or both, I dunno what gets you off)...but when you go to the fast food place, you always wind up just behind some woman with kids she can't or WON'T control. And not Kids as in 2, or even 3...Kids as in Good God, she must have gotten knocked up right after each delivery. And she's shouting and the kids are changing their mind every 3 seconds and one is crying because they wanted to go somewhere else and another is repeating the same thing over and over because Mommy didn't acknowledge her, so she must not have heard and AAAAAAAAAAGH!
*Coughs, recomposes himself* Makes you wish you could legally take leave of your senses for 30 seconds without repercussion. Yeah. Heh.
I'm gonna go over there now and avoid eye contact...

Zero Punctuation videos start to play in my head. "I'm bored... 'In the time between the release of Assassin's Creed in America...'"
