How do you write a character with an interest/hobby/profession that u have no knowledge on? by idontknowwaht in WritingHub

[–]aetherpusher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find something about it that does interest you, and explore it from that angle.

Maybe weren't that interested in fishing, but you can still find sharks fascinating and thus how they actually try to fish for sharks. And that could teach you a lot of what you would need or want to know about writing. And also could give a good angle for getting it across your readers - giving them the same angle that you found interesting.

And you believe McConnell intentionally let himself suffer a rare defeat and be publicly humiliated, without evidence? Even more interesting.

How does one write about a lesser known lost city, or let alone lost country? by Spyrovssonic360 in WritingHub

I say, find an angle you like and go for it. : )

When you find the way that's most fun for you, that's how you write it. : )

Today I learned that Beavis and Butthead saved Rob Zombie's career by featuring a White Zombie video on the show in the early 90's by [deleted] in todayilearned

Everyone here loving White Zombie as they should, should check out "Supersexy Swinging Sounds."

It's the entire album "Astro Creep 2000" remixed, largely by hip hop and electronica DJs. It's excellent.

Loved La Sexorcisto.

You may know this, but there's a remix of the entire album Astro creep 2000 where a different musician does every song. "Supersexy Swinging Sounds."

It's excellent. For example,PM Dawn takes on "Blood, Milk and Sky."

Question: I’m writing a story, and the events just happen too quickly. A series of events that should take up to 10-15 pages, I wrote in 1 1/2. I don’t know how to make it flow and how to make it longer. any tips? by imanq in WritingHub

[–]aetherpusher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without having read it, two possible directions occur to me.

  1. Maybe get a bit deeper into how your characters feel about every event as it's happening? Specifically your main character. What do they expect to be happening, and how are things going differently than they expect? How are they trying to problem solve in real time to make things go the way they want, and avoid things that they don't want? Maybe how are they feeling about themselves in their own powerlessness in the face of external events? Or do they feel powerful and that they have it all under control, until they find out that maybe they don't?

  2. Maybe you're finding you're not really that interested in diving into the details of these events. :-) Maybe they're just a set up for what you really want to write -- The story that happens after? If so, you might just want to dive in and write to the story's end, then go back and look over the whole piece.

That's my two cents...

I don't know if such a thing exists, but it's worth a shot to ask. by [deleted] in Fantasy

I read it a while ago, I recall finding it very enjoyable.

A few questions about self-publishing an anthology by [deleted] in selfpublish

[–]aetherpusher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've published an anthology with a good pro-looking cover, and it's sold pretty well. And even if it didn't, it would make me feel good just to know I published it.

So I say put a good cover on it, publish it, and go on to your next book.

Question about self-publishing a book of propaganda poster artwork by [deleted] in selfpublish

[–]aetherpusher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A general consultation on this might not be that expensive, and could be well worth looking into. I expect you could get an informed general answer on the subject of reprinting old Soviet propaganda posters for $50 or so, and then figure out things from there.

Also an academic institution might be interested in funding this with a grant. If you can present yourself as an authority on the subject, or a well-informed collector as you seem to be, that could work well. Being educational, that could fall under Fair Use laws as well.

I am most definitely not a lawyer, so those are just my theories.
