What did you learn about the writing field from watching the short videos? What advice do you think is most important for you? What questions might you have?

Some of your stories will work. Others won't. But writing them out whether they work or not is the best part because even if they don't work or if they don't fall into place how they're supposed to those badly written stories can give you ideas and inspiration for new stories. the only thing that you'd have to give up for writing is two to three hours of your day.

A question I might have for him is, was it hard getting to where you are today?

Screenwriters will try to adapt to whatever is trendy. They will try to imitate other screenwriters, for example, the people who created avatar or transformers. They will be more concerned about selling then they will be about creating. What separates a bad screenwriter from a good one is how well they hide exposition and how they pull readers into their stories or movies. Bad writers have nothing to say because having something to say is what inspires most, if not all writers.

My question to him would be, if you're confident about your writing and you continue to try hard to get out there in your own way instead of just imitating someone, can you get out there? And will people take your work seriously?

Music

My passion for music sometimes goes over and beyond my passion for writing. Music has always been in my life and has always been there to comfort me when no one was. When I’m stuck in writing, it helps inspire me. When I sat up in the middle of the night unable to sleep because insomnia wouldn’t let me rest music was always there until I could finally sleep. When I need to drown out my family’s shenanigans music was always my go to thing so I could focus on my homework. Whenever I’ve been stuck in a never ending fit of rage where I can’t even stand my own thoughts, I have music to calm me down and get rid of that anger. Whenever I don’t have the energy to do chores music’s there to get my adrenaline pumping. Music has always been a part of my life and it probably will be until the day I die.

Hi! This is meee!

I am a student at School Of The Arts in the writing program. I go by the name Lucille TDOE online. I started my blog as a project but I have always wanted to start one. I hope you enjoy the stories and all the random stuff that comes with it. I rarely post actual pictures of me, but eventually I will. For now I will just use a drawing that I modeled for.
