Killing people who do not like, and other benefits of creative writing
Stress in everyday life creates all kinds of moments in which any sane person would think briefly, I want to kill that boy! This is normal, and so the momentary fantasy that usually follows. But, being a sane, rational, you probably have stifled those fantasies somewhere in the middle, tucking away those dirty thoughts in your brain under the label "do not go there." Stop it, because you are stifling the best source of material for creative writing. Yes friends, it's time to tear that old label and go down there, that horrible horrible place where everyone dies, usually only for the crime of being too stupid. Here, excels in creative writing to relieve stress. After all, your hobby, you can kill anyone who has ever pissed, and feel zero guilt the next day. He made the looting of food forget the Doritos? Kill him. Maybe your boss says something to drive you crazy? Make him eat his pen. Or maybe one of your colleagues thought he was someone else to eat for lunch, as well as yours? Poison him with lunch following. Her husband leaves the toilet seat again? Glue the seat and behead him with a chainsaw. Kill them. Kill them all ... keyboard.This on your type of exercise in creative writing is one with many benefits. First of all, you can apply this skill to write mystery, noir, horror, or even taking care of the details of a death in the mainstream narrative. The trick is to decide which details of a crime scene that you want to focus. If you are only going to describe the violence and death, or perhaps you want to create the atmosphere and the first scene? The level of detail is part of the scene determines the type of story you end up with. If you focus only on the act, and you make the brutal act, or that the horror of crime. If you give a lot of detail, but without being cruel, which is crime fiction and mysteries. And if you violate the description of the scene and the characters, but then say a few sentences about your murder mystery that is mainstream.As and you will see, there is no space to play with these definitions, and I'm leaving out many kinds where people die much like science fiction and fantasy. But this is yet another reason for killing people in fiction is so rewarding. There are many ways to kill people, and there are so many variations on the same topic that you can play with this exercise in a creative writing all my life and I never tire of it. As in fiction, you can kill the cop who gave you a ticket last week ... with a lightsaber. How cool is that? (Sure, you could just tell them: "You do not see me speeding." But this is not the Sith way, is not it? Come to the dark side, a dark little touch of the Sith .... Touch! Ahem ... I digress.) In your first writing exercises, you may be tempted to do everything, but I'd advise that you focus on specific objectives. Focus on the death of this exercise, and do not try to build too much texture in the scene. There must be a rhyme or reason for death. You're just killing someone you angry. This is the reason for the scene, and there must be something else.For example, you can kill the looter of suffocating him with a plastic bag. the checkout counter that you got the sack, or describe the reactions of other people describe. Keep in mind, it is a fantasy. He does not need to be realistic, so if the other buyers good start, because they have lost the objects, fine. You can focus on the law itself, and try to describe how a human face appears beneath a layer of white plastic wrinkled. The bag has the tag of the store? Or the slogan? Is the slogan in the mouth to control, or out of their forehead? And what has been struggling with the spelling you, while he was suffocating? I have chills yet? And no, this is not a plastic bag in his pocket. I am very happy to see you, really.Every time you sit down to kill someone, think of them that describe well. I do not mean a description like this: Tom was a big, fat, stupid idiot, we ate at a lot of other people work.That 's great (and poetic kinda), and the phrase does not sum up the point in history quickly. But what Tom looks like? Show your readers something invisible, describing your target, and try to be objective. You're going to kill the jerk in time, then let your narrator to be neutral about Tom's appearance. Admitting that his eyes are beautiful, and then take them out with a spoon and microwave them. Or ... You can also go with poisoning him. I'm just pulling ideas out there, so you can experiment if you like. Smashing your head in the vending machine would be very bloody, though, is not it? Hmmm ... Well, it is food for thought, no? Let's talk about your boss. Oh, you know you want to talk about your boss. Do you want to lock them up in the middle of one of their invectives. We want to take the fountain pen invented what they are too stupid to use and drive right through the open mouth. Writing all in exquisitely gory detail, and save it for later.You do not need to get a whole novel of a death, or even a complete page. A few paragraphs will do well in most cases. There is no need to have every death scene makes perfect sense. Over a bit 'mental masturbation, this creative writing assignment is to define all the most important elements of writing in a burst of brutal honesty. Mood, scene, character, action and dialogue must all flow together with a balance between each element. The more often you practice killing people, the more often you start to think in terms of how you want to stage the crime, instead of the crime or the person himself. Soon, you'll be able to kill people as a mental exercise, and will not be short cut in half. When you cut off some guy on the street, you may think, Hey, screw you, man. I'll kill you tonight.On a final note, remember to save all your efforts for later. This might seem like a bad idea, given that these writings will make you look foolish. But you can always return to the previous study samples of your work to find ideas for your latest stories. There is no crime committed by plagiarize your older unpublished works. Just do not start killing people based on what you wrote. In addition Please.In to give you a source of useful ideas, these older works are landmarks that can be studied much later in his writing career or hobby. As you progress to higher levels of competence, there are more and more errors jump out at you in your writing samples older. This will also want to throw them away stronger, but resist, and keep your bad stuff. Again let me remind you that you can write crap, just like everyone else. You will also be able to see what mistakes are to be with you, allowing you to more effectively address your weak areas in the future stories.That 'it's happy for the person to kill people. Tune in for my next guide, when I explain what to do once you have a large bin full of dead colleagues and neighbors who did not return your garden tools in time.
