So...

Hello!

This has been very interesting making & taking care of this blog.  I really enjoy it however promising to update every single week is too ambitious I think.  I'd have to have all the time in the world but unfortunately I don't so that means this blog will have to be updated every 2-3 weeks or when I just feel like it.  Hope you don't mind.  It's not that I'm not committed or anything. xD

Thanks

Her 20th Birthday!

Hello Everyone!!

Today is my sister's 20th Birthday!!  She's very happy as she has now reached a point in her age where she's not under the influence of her parents and has the ability to understand that when she asks a man 'what dress do you prefer on me?' & then the man chooses one however she chooses the other dress, the man is going to say 'then why on earth did you ask in the first place!?'  (That goes for perfume, shoes & chocolate).
Anyway, Happy Birthday to her!  So now that we're on the subject of birthday's I'd like anyone to post something about their best or worse birthday.  I think on Friday I'll shall post a story about a previous birthday in which I ended up searching for a dog in a field of cows...It's not such a long story you know!

Thank you!  Keep writing!!

Apologies On A Monday

Good Afternoon!

So the first subject I'd like to touch on is the apology I'm about to give you for not posting the 'An African Affair' personal response because quite frankly...I don't have one...sorry :(

I literally thought I had one somewhere on my computer but I looked everywhere and just couldn't find one!  Maybe in the future I'll make one.  I feel that's a better idea for I can look back on my work and produce a better evaluation on my piece.

Now I would like to talk about Mondays.  Hmm...Mondays...I loathe them...well everyone hates them don't they?  I bet the percentage of people who have a relaxing weekend and realize they have to go back to work at 7 on a Monday morning is 99.999999999999999999999%.

So here is a challenge for those reading my blog.  Write a story about a Monday.  That's it!  It doesn't matter whether it was a good day or bad day, the fact that if you write a good Monday story I might loathe and block you from this blog...kidding xD.  Then send it to me at george.ross23@btinternet.com & I shall post it on here along with others.  

Thank you!!

Is That Funny?

Hello again!

I've just finished watching a relatively amusing film & although I enjoyed it thoroughly I began to dwell on a couple of scenes that interested me.  I personally believe that film media can have an amount of influence on creative writing or it could be the other way round, nonetheless I think they support each other.  Anyway, what captured my intention is how accidents in film are conveyed.  In comedies, there are those moments where a character performs a comic move but it involves getting themselves hurt or in a bad state.  An example would be from the film 'R.V.' where Robin Williams' character tries to control the R.V. as it rolls down the hill & ends up drowning in the lake.  Of course, this is a laugh-out loud moment & someone would tell me that is simply funny & you need to stop considering the 'what if' side of things.  I'm not usually a 'what if' person but this thought kind of triggered a seminar discussion in my head.  However, is that funny?  Why is that funny?  Acting, facial expressions, dialogue & story come together to make the comedic moment work but if you were in that particular situation would it be funny then?  Why is it funny that Homer Simpson falls down the side of a steep cliff & wounds himself severely when in reality that could mean the death of that character?  Is it his screaming?  Is it because as an audience we all know that Homer Simpson is a cartoon character & there is no possible way for him to die?  Even if it is his screaming that's still horrifying to the point where it's not funny.  There are some things that as an audience we'll find amusing because of the way it is incorporated into some form of media.  I believe that books is not involved with this theory as you wouldn't laugh at say a character slamming their head into a door accidentally & then reading the description of how it hurts.  If you can, or if you want to type into the FuzzChat to give some other examples that are conveyed as funny, but are they really in reality?  How could we possibly utilize this technique into our story writing?  Food for thought!

I shall soon post a personal response to 'An African Affair'.

Thank you!

An African Affair

Hello fellow Writers!

I'm really excited because this is my first story to be posted on here!  I came up with the idea that at regular times throughout the year I would post stuff on theme/tribute days.  They can be anything e.g. a day dedicated to Ernest Hemingway or T.S. Elliot?  Today, I'm posting a story that I finished some weeks ago & I feel did a great job on.  Just for today I'm posting something just to get the blog a kick-off for the year.  Soon I shall include the personal response in a couple of days.

Thank you!  Enjoy! xD
