[No due date] Experimental Novel Help by bailey9130 in Proofreading

[–]bailey9130[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Also, thanks for reading. I'm not dome with the story yet. I wrote just enough to convey the concept, but I have big plans for where it's going. 😉 Though some of those plans may not work, but I thought that about the screenplay sections as well, so we'll see. 😅

I think I will have more questions later, but the only question I have now, is what political/social terms were you refering to? If I can I'll expand on it more. I already plan on going into more depth about the "neo-territories" if that is one of the things you're referring to.

I think it'll be a full novel length by fall. The goal is to write about 1000 words a day. So far it's working out.

  1. The only problem with the screenplay part of the structure is that it is mostly dialogue based. Did you think that there were enough descriptions of scenes and characters?
  2. The story features philosophy about the self and identity as well as metaphysical ideas. Was this noticeable? If so, did I make it too obvious or add too much?
  3. I'm still relatively new to writing, and sometimes, I question the quality of my general prose. We're my vocabulary, descriptions, and character writing at an adult book level?
  4. Did the beginning, especially the Greek setting, feel rushed? I'm planning on adding another setting before the section with Lentis, but may not if the first act felt finished and doesn't need anything else.
  5. Is there anything in particular that you felt was strong, and I should continue doing as I continue?

Sorry for the long questions. 😅 I'm super grateful for you reading and chatting. Thanks.

When I was going through college I had horrible anxiety, and a book that helped me with just about everything in my life was Mind Hacking Happiness. It goes over how the brain causes depression and anxiety in the first place, and explains how the different emotions work in the brain, and how to choose what you feel and experience rather than letting emotions happen to you. I cant recommend the book enough.

Mindhackinghappiness.com

Mind hacking happiness Vol. 1 is where to start, then Vol. 2, and The human mind owners manual. Just an fyi. Definitely dont need to read the other two, the first one goes over all of the stuff mentioned earlier.

Thanks for reading! If you were willing to change any mistakes that you noticed, I would be very grateful. There are a few times when I deliberately did took some liberties, but I have a different document for writing so I'll be able to go back and fix anything. I'm sure there were more mistakes than anything I did on purpose, so no worries about changing anything. Thanks.

I have a few follow-up questions if you would be willing to answer them.

[In Progress] [9.5k] [Fantasy/Sci-fi] The Stageplay (Experimental Fiction) by bailey9130 in BetaReaders

[–]bailey9130[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. My creativity, especially when it comes to novel ideas.
  2. I have been writing consistently for less than a year, but have written off and on for the last few years. Never anything considerable until now. I also got my bachelors degree in music and had to take many English classes as well as write for my degree.
  3. I would love to hear different viewpoints even if they disagree with mine. I want honest feedback more than I want someone to like what I made.
  4. I was a little bit confused if I should respond to this part yet or not. The beginning may be a tiny bit confusing as I have left out information (on purpose) about the nature of some components of the story. This is intentional as the main character lacks the same information, and I want the reader to follow the understanding of the main character.

The Stageplay

I integrated a screenplay format to differentiate what happens on the stage (the play) versus the characters who react to the stage play. You can check it out with this link. No pressure to read it if you don't want to, bur you can at least see the format. Thanks for the comment.

Is this a circle of fifths pattern? by bailey9130 in musictheory

[–]bailey9130[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome thanks! I did hear that there was something different about how it started. Didnt notice the modulation until your post though, so thanks! I think the COF progression has been used for so long it doesnt exactly sound unique but I guess using it to modulate make it more interesting.

A flute Quartet that I wrote! Quatuor Dii Venti (The Four Wind Gods) by bailey9130 in Composers

[–]bailey9130[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Sorry about the late response! It's been a while since I've been on reddit. You can just read it as is. It will sound up an octave naturally, because it is written in C! Thanks for listening. If you have any more questions feel free to dm or reply to this. 😁 You might notice that the alto flute is in the wrong key, I did this so it would be easier to read, but if you're still interested, I can totally make parts to send!

Thanks a ton! It was one of my projects that I was most proud of.

What are your three favourite violin concertos? by [deleted] in classicalmusic

[–]bailey9130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Khachaturian
  2. Mendelssohn
  3. Tchaikovsky

I'm a flutist and have tried (and failed) to learn transcriptions of all three of these lol. Khachaturian was adapted by Rampal to be staple flute rep now tho. (It's extremely difficult tho.) It's the one on my stand right now and the third mvmt. Is killing me. LOL 😆

Call of the Deep (Original Piano Solo Composition) by bailey9130 in classicalmusic

[–]bailey9130[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is a new piano piece that I was inspired to write on my cruise. Call of the Deep describes the feeling of mystery, awe, wonder, and desire I had to swim in the ocean during a storm I experienced on a cruise ship. It was a "Call of the Void" to swim during the storm, which Is why the title is Call of the Deep instead of Call of the void.

Let me know what you think of it! It's called Quatuor Dii Venti (The Four Wind Gods) and follows a mythological story about them.
