Sagasu Comes to an End?
Sorry to disappoint you, but I must bow off stage to make a temorary retreat from the world of fan-fictions.
I have just so realized a quite fatal flaw in my capabilities, and this has infected my fictions to the highest degree. If you take a look at my work you can figure out what I am talking about (No Azbats, this by no means is of your doing, what I have decided has little to do with you, or any of the readers here.)
But before I leave to refine my style of writing, I would like to have a word with the rest of you.
I am a wild, unpredictable, and unstable writer. How? I do little, to no planning whatsoever. When I start writing, I have no idea what will come out at the end. This goes for my previous fictions, and my current one alike. I sit down to write, with the vaguest idea in my mind of what happens, and go on accordance to where my whim and wit takes me. How things turn out, are greatly influenced by how I am feeling at the time in such passive writing. This, in itself, is crude and terrible. When you want to write, you want to create. Something new, something never seen before, such a something can never truly be about you, or how you feel. For you are merely copying your emotions, your life, and pasting it in some new world. Is this.. truly creation? But more importantly, Is this what I'm satisfied with? No.. Even now I am writing as it comes, so I ramble, repeat, and become redundant. But somehow I manage to build something, however hastily, and its there. This skill, is what I wish to refine, I wish to be able to create upon instinct, instead of planned out and calculated thought processes. Its an interesting style, and right now I'm expirimenting to the full with it.
For those who wish to write, are writing, and have written.
Now what is it I have to say to you all? I would like to give a few pointers to all writers here. Not about what your write, what you put into it, characterization or details, we should know just how we plan to do what it is we have in mind.
What is it you feel when writing? What is the motivation? Wanting to create something unique? Like no other? Don't we all? Do you have a clear mental picture of what you are describing? Or are you simply winging your way through it? I don't want you to answer me, I want you to answer yourself. The human brain is a wonderful tool, and there is no limit to how it can be put to use. When you truly create, your not working for yourself, or the reader, you simply relish the fact that this is new, this is extrodinaly, and it, in itself, becomes real. Real to the writer, real to the reader, no matter the fact that it is just a jumble of words, its is real in your mind. Now how does it become real? It becomes real when it is the living embodiment of exactly the picture you carry inside of your head. Too many travel without this picture, too many fail to create. I am amongst them, writing with no clear visualization of my creation.
This falls over everything. The characters you create must be people, with a past, with a future, with hopes and failures; So that they are truly real on must invest the time, and care of creating the individual spirit, that makes any one story so fascinating. Most, attempt to have just a few such real people, and yet not even the writers themselves can answer questions asked without having to make something off from the top of their head. Most important about the people in your fictions is how they behave, if you wish to be lazy, just knowing exactly how someone would react in any given situation, dramatic or not, can make anything seem life like.
Time, from dawn till dusk you must be aware. Many a time, myself included, have the timelines been destroyed due to careless ness. Past, present, and future, when you sit, or lie, or stand, the writer msut be aware of the time and place of the situation, and the situation beyond. This will also help things become real.
Inegnuity. Humans have no lack of it. When someone enters your thread, and starts to read your story, they must fall into your world. Histories, characters, creatures, weather and temperament effects, it all must be created by the writer, and no other. This counts even if you are writing in a wolrd you did not create, you must put you view of the world as you see it, or you will fail to create the desired effect. Any writing contains this, for the writer must place himself in this world as the cool, casual observer, that understands every moment in time as it progresses.
Reactions. Feel what they feel, breathe what they breath, see what they see. After this you must change it all, change how you feel, breath, see, change it based upon the fact that you are someone else. Only after this can you have something truly react the way it would. Such a task requires quite an imagination, so Its quite a good excercise for the mind.
The rest you must imagine for yourself, knowing above, what would I say about what has not been said? IF you can answer all the questions left unanswered then you truly have mastered the art of writing.
For those who wish to read, are reading, and have read.
If you have read the above, you know how to read. And I don't mean recognize the words and put them into a understandable pattern. To read is to react, to place yourself alongside the man walking on the street in the middle of may, to become the one watching the dragon spurt fire into the air. You cannot 'read' something that is real, you must experience it. The writer and the reader must travel down the same path, the only variable being that they are two different individuals and will react somewhat differently.
And if you have experienced the story, the writers world, please get off your ass and make a reply. Though to truly creat and make something real, the writer can find enjoyment in that alone, but just like an amusement park, much more fun with other people that have ridden the ride you have created, no?
This is my opinion on the matter, and I hope for those who wish to read and write to take these points into consideration.

But whatever you do, and however you do it, just writing, just the fact that your writing, will seriously improve your skills. The difference forme being I need to get into the right, as you put it, state of mind before truly becoming more comitted to my writings. KNow that at least I'll be there if you follow through with you ideas and put them up for marring
