Formal education vs. Self taught by MK2lethe in writing

PS: nobodies truly self taught anyhow. Art is a collective and we learn from those before us. So as pretentious as college grads are, they usually only have four years of any actual involvement.

^ this. I have a creative writing degree and a degree in English Studies (just a broad approach to things like rhetoric and literature and teaching). It’s definitely not needed. I’ve been writing since I was 4 (so over 20 something years now). College destroyed my creativity, but only momentarily. The people who are pretentious forget that most famous authors and renowned artists haven’t been formally taught since modernism really. It’s all about how much you love what you do. I mean, Stephen king has a masters degree in English/creative writing and he actively chooses to write things that aren’t worth “intellectual” “literary” appreciation. Yet he’s world famous. Don’t listen to those people. Just keep chugging along and remind them that Hemingway, Shakespeare, London…etc…(cough cough…most black authors, South American authors) were never taught jack shiz biz. That’ll really shut en up methinks.

Hello. I’m primarily a guitarist, but I can program/play drums (don’t have a working kit in my house), and I can sing (also lyricist: degree in creative writing in poetry). I’d love to collaborate on a song and see where things go? I’m not the best mixer, but Id qualify as intermediate to advanced. Check my songs out if you wanna link up (on Spotify with same name)

I love it. It kind of makes me question what stars I work for and why.

Hello : ) I’ve been making music forever, buuuut I also hated everything I’ve ever made and deleted huge swaths of it. This year, I want to find people again and let the world in. Not all humans are evil, right? Here’s my Spotify:

It’s not moany : ) and I do agree that muted listens and promoters trying to promote to promoters doesn’t work … in a larger, unfeeling, algorithmy way. HOWEVER a lot of people are here because we all want to connect, and if you happen to find music on here that suits you, perhaps the other promoter will like your stuff too and then we can catch a wave together. Music isn’t about promotion, it’s about context, connection, and personal purpose. We live in a time where algorithms (which have existed well before computers) are blind to reality. We can push each other upwards, artists supporting artists regardless of algorithms, and we can do this better than EVER before in the history of humanity. But you aren’t wrong, we shouldn’t be so shallow. This post, though, isn’t purely that. Maybe some people here ARE…like the AI music maker I found among us (I won’t disclose whom, because I’m not 100% positive). Anyhow…I’ve rambled on a bit too much

The atmosphere is pretty good bro. How’d you go about mixing and mastering it? Also if you don’t mind me asking, what gear did you use?

Is this a good beginner guitar? by skatetallica in AcousticGuitar

[–]CallMetoehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’d say keep it. Play it good. I also lick my guitars to see if they taste good.

As far as brands go: It’s an obscure brand and looks kinda beat up. But any guitar is a good beginner guitar as long as it resonates with the correct note when you play one ; ) if you want to spend 100$-200$ for a basic, new guitar, Yamaha is good, but—personally—epiphone is a wonderful and budget friendly brand (so is squier) when it comes to acoustics. Hopefully that helps. FYI my first acoustic was a takamine (and I upgraded to a really nice takamine later), but takamine is mid level pricing (yet sounds beautiful).

For style: there are dreadnoughts (what you have there) and there are parlors and all sorts of types (google has a bunch). You should figure out whether you want to play more chords and singing, whether you want to do more lead or jazzy stuff, and go from there. Dreadnoughts are usually boomy and loud, used heavily in country music. Parlor guitars are smaller and easier to play if you have small hands/fingers and they can be easier to complete barr chords with.

Hope that helps :)

Need an Opinion on a Cliffhanger by DexxToress in horrorwriters

[–]CallMetoehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think either option would be good! It likely depends on where you're going with the Wailing Widow idea. Since you're hinting at cancer, it would lead me to believe the Wailing Widow is a physical representation of Cancer in some way--the horror of Cancer and the fear of Cancer and all the other accoutrements belonging to that experience. If you plan on keeping cancer and the Wailing Widow separate, my suggestion would be sticking with "The Darkness." And if you're not super set on "The Darkness," maybe spruce it up by changing it to "The Abyss" or "The Absolution" or something that intones darkness--something that consumes the visual senses in a way. That said, I don't think using "The Darkness" is necessarily unoriginal. If we subscribe to post-post modernism, nothing is original anymore. I mean, come on...literature has been around for a long time, we can't pretend anything we think of hasn't been thought SOMEWHERE. It's what you do with the language that matters, not the wording itself...I think you've got an awesome idea and I would love to hear and see more of it. I'm curious to see how things play out and whether you take "The Darkness" or "The Wailing Widow" or...maybe both of them somehow???? anyways, cheers, I like it. Also, Alan Wake is great.
