Come up with a simple plot and fill it with complex characters. You should be able to describe your plot in one sentence. Everything else that happens should result from your characters' decisions. #Story #Writing #Writers #Booksky #WritingCommunity

Sit on a bench where people congregate. #Describe three #people in as much detail as possible: their gestures, what they're wearing, and what they're saying. Don't pass judgment. Let the descriptions do the talking. #Writer #Writing #WritingPrompt #Exercise #Write

Miles Davis composed the Elevator to the Gallows (1958) score in a single session while watching the film. After noting a rough cut, he gathered 4 musicians without rehearsal & recorded it in one take, creating a landmark in improvised film scoring.

"Write what you know" was good advice for novelists when most of them had been drafted, or hitchhiked across the country with drug-addled degenerates, or worked as a migrant rancher. It’s bad advice for people who mostly just know how to turn in homework assignments.

Glastonbury took place over the weekend. There were so many good bands. (Most are posted on YouTube.) But Gary Numan (who sang the hit song “Cars” in 1979) tore it up. Here he is singing “My Name Is Ruin” with his daughter, Persia. youtube.com/watch?v=2zHbC2Ai…
