writing a monologue

for creative writing class

any tips?

i'm procrastinating and listening to music...so any tips would be great.

 

Only choose one side of the conversation. That will help.

 

Whats all this about?

Do you want to make it funny, or serious? Have you written anything? Post it.

 

i know that

 

i want it to be silly

i haven't written anything...just was wondering if any others had written any before, to give some tips. i lost the work sheet we got in class, which had some helpful hints on it

 

I wrote one today actually. Amy's speaking to her brothers grave. This was a prolouge to express her sorrow, which is the principle emotion she shows untill she meets Johnny in the nut house. As well as foreshadowing.

That's not important though.

My advice is to come up with a powerful emotion, and then develop your charecter around that. Then see how you would react facing similar circumstances, and let the words flow.

It's supposed to be real, not polished. Find that voice and bring life to it.

 

I guess my advice is brainsstorm, basically.. and then polish it

 

thanks spence

 

You want a silly monolouge, you still need a powerful emotion. Like moral outrage against something inane.

Like Oreos. Come up with something better though.

 

my advice is like the opposite of Spencer's advice.. haha

I mean his advice is good.. but I guess.. I mean.. when I took creative writing, I was always advised to brainstorm and detach from my emotions, so..

 

i don't polish up any of my work....i'll worry about that when and if i go for a higher degree.

this is a silly class - a class that will help me get an english minor - which is incredibly silly for me to get

 

Eh, we might have different writing styles. I have to try and put myself in my charecters shoes to have real dynamic dialouge flow. Everything else seems static.

What kinda stuff do you write lovey Laety?

 

I write a lot of.. random, dark shit :tongue:

I like totally unrealistic stuff..

..or extremely realistic!

 

Why don't you talk bout procrastinating and listening to music and asking for help to come up with a topic?

 

haha thats pretty bad ass

 

Cool cool. Right now I'm working on a script for my first feature length film. It's about a counselor who helps falls in love, and helps her lover escape from a psychiatric hospital.

It's called Thorazine Dream.

 

If I had the assignment, I would write about a man riding his horse; talking to it and himself as the audience.

 

create a 'mind map'

 

I write poetry when Im in love
