Thinking up the idea:
- Think of an idea.
- Lie in bed and think about the idea some more.
- Dismiss idea.
- Walk around house. Do menial tasks. Allow the mind to wander.
- When the mind has wandered around to an idea, stop doing menial tasks and pay attention.
- Write it down.
- Read it over.
- Change it.
- Lie down on sofa. Let idea form a story.
- Dismiss idea. Hates idea. Idea is stupid.
- Decide to write from the headlines. Switch on news. Read newspapers. Look for inspiration.
- Ebola, eh?
- Brand new idea. A plague that wipes out most of humanity! The few survivors come together under some vague supernatural (religious?) pretence.
- But evil people have also come together! Drama! Conflict!
- Realise your idea is The Stand, by Stephen King.
- Read The Stand, by Stephen King.
- Go back to original idea, decide it's good enough.
- Congratulations! You now have your idea!

*lobs a stick of dynamite with 2 seconds of fuse left into the midnight hotel*
*calmly pulls a pull-cord*
*trapdoor opens under the dynamite*
*dynamite shoots out into the backyard*
*explodes, leaving a large crater*
I'd expect that from Zafira, but you?
*hiccups and giggles uncontrollably*
(Ours names will. As will a list of songs. I'm thinking names and logo for the actual disc design.. although i need a picture of our logo! And which songs!!!)
*walks into the hotel*
Harumph!
*kicks a chair*
(I believe I have to disappear for about half an hour. It seems this website uses rather a lot of battery power. I will still be available via email, however.)
Ooh, can I go to the blog and pick some songs? How many do we need?
And I can't even recall what our logo was . . .
*sighs heavily*
*stands up, and puts Leopold back on his feet*
Can I help you, Silente Tempest?
We should have an equal balance of my songs, your songs, and Snow's songs. They should all be original, too. Not parodies.
(Yes you can Clara. How many songs do we have...say about ten/fifteen? Wasn't our logo two crossed 'band aids'. as you weirdos call them.)
(Bye Soph!)
(*hugs flick*)
Probably not Clara dearest.
Why yes, two crossed "plasters" as some heathens say. That sounds right. But we should have a picture for the album cover, not just the logo on black.
*sighs*
I feared as much.
(OREOS! And backpack of troubles...wild banshee ninja..um...what other ones are listed under the 'fans of good music' countdown?)
Pardon me, Ms. Crowley, but I owe you one unexpected appearance-from-thin-air.
*dusts of his jacket*
*turns to leave*
(Hey Sir! how art thou
*huggles Sil*)
BACKPACK OF TROUBLES:
Backpack of Troubles
Wild Banshee Ninja
I Feel Surprisingly Okay
Sing it From the Soul!
Brave Little Soldier
Pretend that I Ain’t Aching
There Were No Heroes
Annihilation
Broken Mask
Bonus Track: The Oreo Song
I think we should use these. The first three I already "confirmed" as being part of the album. The others I just think work.
(The logo is for the disc. As are our names. For the actual front cover...? Idk..what style?)
Your guests however...I only want one..
*delighted clapping*
Thank you, Sir! Better late than never, so they say.
...
Quite.
Greetings, Blogland.
Hmm . . . something black-and-white, I think, with a little red added. This is, after all, an emo-core band.
*leaves*
And so went Jag, and well he fares
For there ne'er was a man so debonair
Ah, oh, goodness, I have to leave. I'll be back soon. Hopefully.
*departs*
Good bye, Ms. Crowley and Mr. Debonair.
(Byii Anni!)
*falls off stool*
(*listens to 2sweet things2 by the pretty reckless*)

I be's okay, my eyes be's better,
I'm jealous of them...
(*looks at the rights* uhh okay
I dedicate to remembrance day
I would like to offer prayers for those who fought and lost their lives in the war. may they be at peace :
In Flanders fields the poppies grow,
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.)
Oh good Inky!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S GREAT!!!!!!!
Yeah. Stupid school. (That I actually kinda enjoy...)
BUT WE HAVE TODAY OFF!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

My author is horrible.
(My character is horrible.)
She never has ONE happy thought! Her head is cramped and miserable and horrible!
(Hello guys. Hi Soph. Sorry bout her.)
I opened my door and found a huge pack of words I should study for my high school test laying on the ground.
I stared at it and closed the door XD
Both of you...
YOU'RE BOTH AMAZING!!!!!!!!
BE HAPPY AND DANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
(That's ok, Sil.
That's ok.
*hugs her*)
Viv poofed... :(
So long Viv!
HI TIA!!!!!!!!! HOW BE'S YOUS?! How be's yous eyes?!
(I am depressed. But my eyes are fine. Yourself?
I do not dance, Dugglyn.
SilenteTC - your author is amazing. She is my sister.)
No. I dance when Viv comes.
(*siiiigh* dug email
Hey Tia. Get Tanya to gag Sil please.)
*hugs both SilTC and SilTA*
*hugs SilTA extra tight*
Yeah, I'll go check it
I'm not stopping, I'll probably be on later,
i just wanted to share this with you:
Beneath this mask, there is more than flesh.
Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr Creedy and ideas are bulletproof.
V for vendetta
Ok Sophia :((
Hi Gar!!
Or I guess Hby Gar!
(I am sorry, Dugglyn. Singing and dancing etc. is not really my thing. If you had asked me ten or eleven years ago, I may have accepted your offer.)
(*starts headbanging* I WANNA I WANNA I WANNA TOUCH YOU
YOU WANNA TOUCH ME TOOO!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RZqkeGFwFs)
Eh, that's ok! I know!
(Rhosss! *huggles
* hey sweetie)
(I rather like the idea of Remembrance Day.)
Oh dear, it seems I've had a litre of Monster.
*hugs Sil and hugs Sil and hugs and hugs*
(I am rather amazed that you have not exploded, Tia.)
HAPPY VETERANS DAY!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
*sigh* my mom has concerns about how much I'm on here. It's not about talking to you guys it's that I'm starting at screen all the time and it's bad for my eyes and the radiation could be/ is bad so Idk. I might become even more distant...
(*huggles Duggy* ok.....)
Well I should go anyways. PIE!! Have a Beautiful day! :D
(Me too! I may explode soon maybe!?)
(byii Duggy!)
(Chloe *huggles* How are you darling?)
(You too, Duggy!)
(Dugglyn - you could sit a little further away from the screen, which would solve the issue with the eyes. And perhaps have a surface between you and the laptop or other device which would provide additional protection from the radiation. However there is no conclusive evidence which would suggest that this type of radiation is actually harmful.)
(what does monster taste like?)
(Hello, Gar! How are you?)
(*snuggles* im very happy sweetheart. you?)
(Bad. This one I had is better because it also has still lemonade and tea mixed in.)
(ahh okay
I like red bull
it gives me wings)
(I'm also happy thank you flower (<for Chloe)
(Hello Tia, I'm happy thank you, how be you?)
(*hugs soph* You've really relaxed more on the blog you know? Become more...friendly sorta. Happier maybe..)
(*hugs Silente back* I did not notice.)
(*smiles* I did..I'm glad you seem to be more relaxed.)
(Relaxing is something I am not good at.)
*agrees with Sil*
*goes back to studying words. Meh*
(Ok, Gar. Perfectly ok.)
(You're getting better at it.)
(@Dug eeeemaaaaaiiiiil
(ok Tia *nods* that's a good thing my friend)
(I rather doubt that.)
(I don't. Wanna rp Soph? Also what happened to Sarah stalking Sil?)
(Apologies. I have not been roleplaying for a while.
I sent you an email, Silente.)
Sarah: *sighs as she walks towards Silente with her shotgun drawn* Okay. We need to get some rules written down.
(rp Rhos?)
(hmm *strokes beard* hmmmmm........)
(*tilts head at Rhos* hmmm what?)
(It's fine Soph.)
*looks at the shotgun*
We do? Hello by the way.
Tawnee: *wanders around the house*
*sits in the bar, pissed*
DONT JUMP OFF THE ROOF DAD
YOU WILL MAKE A HOLE IN THE YARD
MOTHERS JUST PLANTED PENTUNIAS
THE SEEDING AND WEEDING WAS HARD
IF YOU MUST END IT ALL DAD
WONT YOU JUST GIVE US A BREAK
JUST TAKE A WALK TO THE PARK DAD
AND THEN YOU CAN JUMP IN THE LAKE
Sarah: Hey. *smiles* Sorry about the shotgun it's... not important. *collapses it to half its original size and attaches it to her back* Yes. Right. Rules.
Rule number one. No running away from me.
Rule number two, every time I ask to see your wrists you must show me without question.
Rule number three, whenever you feel like hurting yourself you will tell me before you do and let me stay with you. Alright?
*raises an eyebrow*
And if I decline the rules?
Blogger Matex Von Darkhour - Pyromancer and Black Mage said...
Sorry, probably not clear.
I understand the definition of having a distinct "character", i just dont believe they are as seperate as everyone would like to believe. They still exist on your heads.
November 11, 2014 at 1:29 PM
I think that depends entirely upon the person, Matex. Some people, I can't tell the difference between their character and their author. Some people, I can tell the difference, but their character is a personalityless being that just does what the author wants. Some, their characters are entire separate people on their own.
With me, also, having Hunter in my head influences me. But my friends also influence me. I pick up so many mannerisms from my enviroment - I'm basically a collage of all the people I've known. :P So yes, there will be simialrities that way. Also, authors and characters can often be similar in other ways. I have several theories on that, but meh.
Tia - you and Death and Sil are experiencing a lot of negative emotions at the moment. You're the ones who experience the most negative emotions, I think. What is the other correlation between you people? You're also people who stay up rather late.
Did you not here Fabi's rant at Silente?
No, not all negative emotions stem from being awake late, and I'm not suggesting that's the only problem. But if you want to feel better, the easiest and most helpful advice I can suggest to you would be to go to sleep at some time within the realms of sanity. Try to get seven hours' sleep at the very least.
(hey Star!)
Sarah: I...
*sighs* I don't want to hurt you, Silente. But I will subdue you if I have to. And then it won't be me who is looking after you.
*is standing on the roof*
*gets ready to jump*
Hello, Star...
Thank you for trying to help.
How are you today?
I'm . . . tired. XD But meh. :P
You?
Tawnee: *goes outside*
*sees gar* Sweetie? what are you doing?
Subdue me?? What the hell!
@Star Ok. Holding on, really.
Holding on.
@Tia: :)
That's good, I guess.
Sarah: I'm trying to help you!
(*hugs Star* I've been trying recently..)
Subduing it not helping!
I'm going to fly
*jumps off the roof and starts falling*
@Silente: :) *hugs* That's cool. It's okay. :)
(*hugs starry eyes* What colour are your eyes?)
Tawnee:*squeals*
Idiot!
*closes eyes*
*is passed out at the bar*
Sarah: Of course it will. Don't be an ass. I'm not letting you hurt yourself, god damn it.
(I remember dancing to this in school XD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCbZny0JMAM)
@Silente: Mostly blue. :P
I would take a picture of one of them, but the light's bad so meh. :P
(Plus y'know, eyes look different in different lights.)
*growls*
Fine! Do whatever. I'm going swimming, okay master.
*walks off before she can answer, towards the lake*
(@Star okay.)
Sarah: *sighs* What the fuck? *sits at the edge of the lake*
*grows a pair of wings as black as night and flies around*
*smiles* best idea ever!
Tawnee:*sighs*
*shouts* idiot! what if that failed?
*takes off her jacket and puts it on the shore, diving in*
*surfaces and grins, soaked*
*flips to her back*
...
*hugs Sil*
*hugs Star*
*hugs Chloe*
*hugs Gar*
*hugs Sarah*
*has given away all his heat*
*withdraws to the cold shadows*
Then i would've gone splat! But hey I'm flying so all is good.
(*gives Kas a warm huggle*)
Tawnee: *pouts* then you would miss out on Gizmo
(I will be back soon.)
(Okay Soph *hugs Tia to warm him*)
*is cold as stone to the touch*
(*rubs kas' arms*
this will warm you)
(*hugs Kas tighter, giving warmth*)
*feels a small amount of warmth, proof that he is still alive*
*Isn't sure what to make of it*
(*huggles Kas tighter)
*hugs back*
*happily melts*
(I love this comic XD
http://twokinds.keenspot.com/index.php)
(it has gone quiet)
(Indeed it has..)
(Soooo what ya doing?)
(Listening to Bart Barker parodies, writing stuff up, etc. You?)
(I'm talking to rhos and listening to the pretty reckless)
(*nods* Cool. So, you and Rhos, good?)
(Yep we are ^^)
(I'm glad for you both.)
(Aww thanks Bach *huggles*)
(You're welcome *smiles*)
(*smiles* we are hopefully going to the swansea winter wonderland)
(I've no idea what that is but it sounds romantic.)
Romance is in the air, then?
(Each writer swansea sets up a fare and ice rink)
(Hehe it is Kas )
*winter
(So yeah a romantic thingy. Cute :)
(I am back.)
(Aww thanks ^^ my first date XD)
Sarah: *calls out* No going underneath the water!
*raises an eyebrow and dives back under*
*swims towards Sarah, deep down enough she can't be seen*
*kicks and swims up, grabbing Sarah's leg and dragging her in*
Sarah: *coughs and splutters, surfacing* Great. Thanks a lot, vampire. *treads water*
*surfaces next to her, grinning*
You're welcome.
*sends a wave of water her way*
(Your first date Flick? Awwwww!)
Sarah: *swipes her hands horizontally, her arms glowing blue* *the water gets slapped aside* Oh, I see how it is. *pushes her hands down, lifting herself rather high into the air* *allows herself to drop, and she sends a pulse of biotic energy across the surface of the water, causing a miniature tsunami in all directions*
(*blushes* I've been blushing an awful lot recently ....)
*dives down in an attempt to avoid the giant wave of water*
*surfaces after it's passed, laughing*
(Aww. That's cute. And normal.)
Sarah: *treads water again* Well, that was fun. I like biotics.
(Hehe
I'm just going to be sitting here
Blushing )
(I hope it will be a date to remember, Chloe. c:)
They don't seem to be that bad.
*flips to her back again, floating*
Sarah: I'm hardly one of the stronger ones.
(Aww thanks Kas Bach *huggles*)
I noticed.
Sarah: I swear to god the Commander is psychotic. Did you know she started working on an artificial intelligence?
Is that what she was messing with at the picnic? Huh.
(*huggles back awkwardly*)
(*tilts head* whassup Kas?)
(Nothing...
I'm just a mess, that's all.
For quite a lot of reasons.
I'll just keep hugging.)
