Question

Writers if you had to choose between fiction and poetry, which would you choose?
My school only allows you to specialize in one or the other. Im relatively decided but curious about what other people prefer and why.

Answer

Fiction. I love poetry too, but theres something so engrossing about the elements of telling a story and making a compelling plot. I also think that to some extent, poetry can be incorporated into prose I mean, look at some modern authors, Neil Gaiman comes to mind, and they reeeally have a way with language, some very pretty turns of phrase.

Writers...how alike are we all?

Question

Writers...how alike are we all?
So yes or no answers

Answer

Bowser.brbr You prefer to write alonebrAbsolutely. I get very selfconscious if I try to write in a room with others, so I tend to just wait until Im alone. And Id never, ever be able to cowrite a novel with someone.brbr You are an introvertbrHa! Yes. I think I take, quotintrovertquot to a whole new level. My brother has Aspergers, and my Mum wanted to get me tested for it as well because Im so antisocial. But I assured her that I just dont like people, and its true.brbr When you go to bed, you usually have a predream, where you control the dreamstory in your headyou think about your own storybrOn occasion, yes. I dont do it every night, but a few times a week I find my mind wandering to Glendeyn and figuring out whats going to happen next.brbr You daydreambrLets just say my minds in the clouds.brbr When you get an idea when you are out, you think about it for the rest of the day until you get in and have to write type it down and you end up forgetting where you even were or what you were doing, lolbrYes! But my mind is so erratic that I very rarely manage to remember the entire idea. Its so annoying gtbrbr You prefer to stay in and write than go out to a partybrYuck, parties.brShuddersbrThe last thing I want to do is stand around in a room with a bunch of drunk teenagers getting hit on by people that repulse me.brbr You are femalebrYes brbr You hatedont like exercisingbrWell. Only because its so damned hot in this country. Id probably exercise if I had some form of equipment in the house... Like an Ab Twister! Ah, Id love one of those. But most of the time Im just sitting around on my a. Thank God for my fast metabolism.brbr You are creative in other things, such as art, music, dancing etc...brNo brIm the most uncreative person in the universe. Im also terrible at analytical things, like math and science. Writing is pretty much the only thing I have, and even then Im not that great at it.brI used to play bass and write songs, but I pretty much sucked. And then my bass broke so... That was the end of that fiasco. I also used to play the violin, but I was so terrible that my teachers hair actually started falling out. And as for art, well... I like to doodle.brbr When you read, you sometimes roll your eyes if the character does something stupid or you mumble out something like quotWhat was the point in that?quotbrYES! Eurgh, Im doing that a lot in the book Im reading now.brbr You are more of a jogging bottoms and a hoody type of person than a quotI have to wear makeup and look best MOST of the time.quotbrEh, kind of. I dont own jogging bottoms or hoodies, but I do spend most of my time in comfortable clothes like tshirts and what have you. I dont like to leave the house without makeup because my skin is so atrocious, but thats just me.brbr Your books have many creases on the spinebrHow did you know?! Dbrbr You prefer hardbacks to paperbacks excluding the costbrYes! Hardbacks make me feel smart, not to mention I prefer to hold them.brbr You are in no rush to get published you have a long while yet to get your book out therebrYahuh. I recognise that Ive got a LONG way to go writing wise, and I dont mind spending a lot of time perfecting it.br All your stories in your notepad or word doc that are unfinished, you see them as writing practise and not as failing stories.brHahahah, pretty much. But all of my unfinished stories have been deleted over the years by spiteful siblings. So I never did get to finish them.brbr You seem to do better when writing in rd personbrWell, Im not exactly sure. I dabbled in writing the first chapter of my novel in both to see, but the people I showed it to had really mixed reviews. So... I still dont have a clear answer on which Im better at.brbr You read and write so you can escape mundane lifeproblemsbrYes brbr You love book trailers more than reading what its aboutbrBook trailers? Oh, those things on YouTube? No, I dont really like those. I like to read blurbs though.brbr You are a fast typerbrYep! And a fast texter. Like lightning.brbr You used to be an outdoor person but now you are more of an indoor person so you can write.brYes, but I think that has more to do with where we live now, and also not being a kid anymore. When I was younger and living in a totally awesome neighbourhood in New Zealand I used to spend all day running around getting up to mischief with my brother. We explored all the creeks in the area, and went on bike adventures every weekend. Damn it was awesome. Curse you Australian suburbia! Curse you!

Write me a sentence or two from your mind?

Question

Write me a sentence or two from your mind?

Answer

A sentence or two? How confining.brbrFree writing, and free thought is much different then writing something because someone tells you to, or think that you need to write something. Free thought allows for the mind to open up and for the consciousness to flow. You can try doing it, and make sure not to analyze anything that you are putting down Its a very revealing practice. When I do free write, I touch on the subliminal and the deep meaning that is stored there waiting in the unconsciousness.brbrExamplebrbrFrozen palms, are held out reaching. Colors flow into their reach, but I can not grasp. The fire is the only way I can warm my muscles and dare to grab at what I know is there....brbrMore symbolic.

Would you want to live in a world without suffering?

Question

Would you want to live in a world without suffering?
is suffering necessary to a good life? Im in a philosophy class and I have to write a paper and I want to get other peoples opionions on the subject because I think it is necessary to have suffering and pain in order to apprecitate things. What do you think?

Answer

I would have to agree with you on that. Suffering is a form of pain, and pain is an opposite to a number of alternative feelings as pain, in a sense, is a feeling. Opposites could include pleasure, comfort etc etc.brbrA world without suffering could not exist within the following philosophical writeup As if there is no suffering, life would become quite meaningless or even not existent would it not? If there is no strive toward something, then what would be the point of it? If you want to have that shiny new car and you strive to get it and finally achieve it and own that car, then what is there to do next? You will, eventually, become bored of that car and pursue something more advanced in its respective field. Basically to say that if you already own something, in whatever essence that something is, you will no longer pursue that individual element. As Karl Popper, in Open Society and Its Enemies, states, quot...human suffering makes a direct moral appeal for help, while there is no similar call to increase the happiness of a man who is doing well anyway.quotbrbrSo back to the basic question. If the world had no suffering, then humanity would possibly strive to achieve a higherlevel of nonsuffering or a varying alternative of a similar subject I believe it is part of who we are as a species to pursue greater achievements.brbrThe Chinese philosophy of Ying amp Yang states that any phenomena such that of say, suffering must consist of two opposing, yet at the same time, complementary pieces to form and complete a whole concept. So this is to say that without suffering, there can be no life as then there is no opposing factor that creates this entity into a whole piece. This can be true of many fanatical concepts and theories of life such as badgood, lifedeath, happysad, updown, letright, forwardsbackwards all these concepts have opposing sides to give the other meaning and existence. As if there is only up, and no down, then how could one call up up, and how could the concept of moving upwards be considered anything at all? As if we are only moving up, then moving up would not be considered up at all, it would just be considered moving as that was the only form of moving there was.

Would you want to know your future?

Question

Would you want to know your future?
I know this question might have been asked a few times before, but how do you think it would influence us and our lives, if we knew what the future would bring? I mean, would you like to be informed about your future breakups, and maybe even know youre gonna die?

Answer

wow, thats deep. I think Id want to know if I was going to have to suffer or if anyone I know and love would ever be in any danger. Dating breakups are an experience that we should all go through, divorce and serious relationships like engagement .. well, I think knowing about that would save a great deal of money, credibility and having children and finances with the wrong person. I think knowing the future could help eliminate unsafe sexual encounters lowering the rate and stats on STDs etc. I guess Im straddling the fence on your question, but its a good one.

Would you stoop to the pavement to pick up a lose coin lying there?

Question

Would you stoop to the pavement to pick up a lose coin lying there?
I have experience of doing this myself that I found very intense, as I could not help thinking what people think about it? But there is a limit regarding amount of money involved after which everything become ok by everyone. Would you for example pick up a penny from ground, or would you only consider ten or twenty pence coin, or may be not. If not then will a brand new shining mint of a pound will do the magic. Or may be you are into currency notes. Whenever I, if ever, see a precious currency note lying on the ground, I find the glimpse as subtle as the sight of the skin of a snake lying in the grass the only difference being I am more likely jump away from the later and jump at the former.

Answer

For pennys, not worth the effort but for anything above ...hmmm..one has to start to wonder at what height does you arroganceego start to show ? At what amount do you still think you are too good and couldnt be seen.A good question , one that makes you ask one or two to your self..thank you, I needed that..

Would you sacrifice yourself for love...?

Question

Would you sacrifice yourself for love...?
...in what way...?

Answer

Sacrificing yourself for love is a misunderstood concept.brbrTo those who are romantics in thought and ideology, the mythical image of one Romeo and Juliet come to mind.brbrTrue sacrifice for love is something entirely different when viewed by the mature eye.brbrWhen you love someone, you dont hide how you feel even when telling the world about your feelings may alienate others.brbrWhen you love someone, you put their needs ahead of your own in order to make them happy. This is not some slavish hours a day lapdog like devotion, but a true desire to see that person who is a part of your heart experience real joy.brbrWhen you love someone, you sacrifice your own agenda in order to meet their needs.brbrWhen you love someone, their goals, in part, become your goals.brbrWhen you love someone, you do not compete with each other. Instead you seek to complement each other.brbrWhen you love someone, you sacrifice popularity for compassion when it comes to keeping the privacy and personal information of the other person quiet. You never trumpet personal issues in order to score points against the one you love.brbrWhen you love someone, you get up with the baby even though you have to go to work the next day because you know they are more tired than you are.brbrWhen you love someone you realize that you are not the center of every waking moment and that other peoples needs sometimes trump yours.brbrTo be truly sacrificing in love means that you place everything you are and have and hope to become into the care and keeping of someone else above self.

Would you sacrifice your favourite family pet to save lives?

Question

Would you sacrifice your favourite family pet to save lives?
Imagine, if you will, that by the strangest twist of highly unlikely circumstances, you find yourself in the following situation

Answer

I would hope that I would sacrifice the cow since this is ethically the best thing to do but I know that as a human sometimes I err. It is not just a question of whether to regard animals as of equal value as humans because also to be considered is the number of lives. So, it comes down to your personal feelings for your pet vs compassion for saving many lives and here we should concern ourselves with the consequences of our action and thus sacrifice the cow

Would you read this part of my book, please, and tell me if you like it, hate it, or if you would read on?

Question

Would you read this part of my book, please, and tell me if you like it, hate it, or if you would read on?
This is just the first draft.

Answer

It definitely catches me. A few things you might consider changing though the first sentence is a little convoluted. How about going with something like, quotMy heart is beating loudly in my earsquot. And it needs a bit of editing here quotMy eyes dart to Alec, WHOSE body LIES limp on the concrete roofquot, and maybe change the sentence after that to the more polished, quotI dont know if hes dead, or just unconscious, but I suspect the worst.quot For the sentence after that, I think quotMy eyes are DRAWN behind mequot, instead of WANDER DOWN. quotWander downquot sounds very casual, as if she has all the time in the world to look at the scenery, while quotdrawnquot sounds more like a compulsion, something she cant help but do. The tense in the sentence after that is wrong it should be quotoblivious to what IS going on above their headsquot. Another thing, is the antagonists name Gage or Gale? Because you switch them midway. And quotfollowersquot should be followers couldnt make it clear what I was referring to with the extra quotations, so I used dashes. One last thing, and its just a suggestion perhaps instead of quotfor I have cast it myselfquot casted isnt a word, the past tense of cast is also cast, just by the way, you could say quothaving cast it myself a number of timesquot. I think that flows better. And one last, LAST thing, in my opinion, you should use something different that Rosalie for your characters name, even if its just Rose due to a certain books popularity, I dont think your character will be taken as seriously as she would otherwise be.brSorry if I seem overly critical. You actually do have a good beginning here, and Id like to read more when you come up with it.
