Thread: The Tome - [Seiken's Journal]

My new microphone came today! Well, it came yesterday, but I got it set up today. I now have the full package complete. High-end soundcard, the most powerful 2.1 speakers for a computer - well at least the minijack-style High-speed HD webcamera in 1080p - one of the better microphones from putbull audio completed with a spitguard and a stand. Only thing I need to do now is to upgrade my internet a little bit, but... Really, the speed is already quite good. Streaming and working with my studio will be so much better now. I have had a few orders coming in on some videos, but I've put them on hold till I get my new microphone. So with that, I want to invite whoever wants to chat with me to add me on skype using xyfirus and just include in the friend-add message that you found me on Bluemoon. And yes, I mean whoever from this site in case you go thinking He probably doesn't want to talk with me... As to why I want to invite you for a chat - I'm a vocal person. I like to chat and fool around. As for the hours... Well, I have tonight off and tomorrow. So I will be around tomorrow around 1400GMT10800GMT-6 and onwards for the rest of the day. More or less. As for tonight... No promises. It's soon 1800 here, and I'll be leaving for an unknown period of time after 2000, but unsure whenif I'll return tonight. Either way, this little entry wasn't just to boast about my new setup. It's also to talk a little about my book. Given that I have very little time these days and mostly on the run, I don't get time to sit down to create proper creative texts. I have several levels of writing. I would say you have the light version, where it's casual chat and I don't really think too much into sentences, words or if I even want to fix the grammar. Then we have the average version which I am typing in right now. An eye is out for the grammar but also for typos and the likes. Advanced is my best version where I go all in to work the grammar around as good as I can. Sure, there are still mistakes there and then, but as I am writing, it will be as good as I can write there and then. It takes a lot of energy, and drains one quickly unless one have the proper motivation. With the proper motivation, I could go on for hours if I have the time, but that's something I sadly do these days as mentioned above. The story of my book is already written. In my head. I know how it's supposed to end, and I have several ideas that I want to add as well. However, the process gets a bit complicated early. Writing a story needs a red line. Or at least my teacher told me so. While it's a while since I was in school, I decided to create my own story on my own premises. I've several times been told to read other people's books or works, but I want to be untainted and write in my own way. So with lots of plots and ideas in my head, it's all about putting them in the right order, and where they make sense. Now, the story won't be a group going from plot to plot, but I will work hard towards having the whole thing being seamless, so it just becomes a story. Plain and simple like that. Many does the double-stitch where they go back to previous events and such, something I've considered using, but.. I haven't made up my mind regarding that yet. I don't think that's something I need right now, at least my fans doesn't think sogot a small fanbase for now 3 but who knows? The story's ending is... going to be grand. Well, the first book's ending at least. Given I have so many ideas and thoughts about the story, I've realized I need to make 3 different books. Perhaps even 4, but... We'll see! all I know is that twisting the plot is desirable these days, but they need to be done right. Let's have an example In Breaking Bad SPOILER!!!! - When Hank finds out who Heisenberg is, it's a huge plot twist for him.SPOILER ENDING!!! And I would say it's done right. However, if you say this for example You grow up with your parents and at the age of 20, they tell you Your dad is actually your mum, an your mum is actually your dad - It's a plot twist indeed, but it's a bad one. I find it a bit hard to get down on paper, but I like to believe I know how to tell the difference between the two. Ah, but now I am rambling. I should probably end it here and tidy up my place a little bit. I've been invited to a quiz at the local bar. As I rarely do much socially with friends like those kind of things, I decided to do it tonight. While I know nothing about nothing, I guess it'll be a little bit fun at least? Either way, I MIGHT be available for a few minutes right now if anyone were to take me up on the offer of skype.
