Questionable Questing

Nope, is it any good? If I'm not mistaken, most of the ancient greek epics were sung and performed like musicals by traveling bands of actors and poets rather than performed like a theater. So that would funny enough be closer to the source material than many other modern interpretations.

Decent. I'm starting to get the general outline filled in, starting to figure out the different choices for the readers, and soon I'll be in the editing and filling in part of my writing process.

How I write is I figure out the scenes, speeches, and emotional moments I want in any given chapter, I write them out and then while I'm editing them, I find a way to get all of these different scenes to flow together nicely which I call the filling in part.

How much detail do you get into when writing out those scenes, speeches, and emotional moments?
Andy333
Andy333
depends. Its a process. So I'll start writing it for twenty or thirty minutes or a few hours, depending on how busy I am, just getting my thoughts on paper. then I'll come back to it in a few days or a few hours, with a fresh perspective. I'll change some words or try to make the sentence flow better.

A lot of times when I'm doing dialog I'll start with just the words the characters speak being written out and then over time I'll fill it in with descriptions of the characters facial expressions and their emotional state along with a few minor movements, like say a character pouring a drink as their talking about the situation or a wife kissing her husband after he says something sad.

I almost treat my dialog the way you would a screenplay at first and then fill it in with all the necessary details later.

I typically start with prose of imagery and sensation and thought, and build to dialogue, with a outline to jog the ideas before hand

I sort of used to do it that way. I used to do really long winded descriptions of everything that was happening to transition into a scene, but when you occupying paragraphs with descriptions it was way too much, so i pulled back a lot and that's how I slowly learned the technique with how I write dialog.

I like prosing. To me its fun to try to be poetic, the effort and journey to get there.
