Tip of the day – explore the world

Don’t sit inside and do nothing. Go out to the world and explore it. There’s a lot of things out there that can inspire you, when you have the inspiration – put them down on papers and write.

Inspirations doesn’t come for free.

So there’s always something you have to do, to achieve inspirations.

As for inspirations, it could be anything from lines to phrases, from sad scenes to dramatic scenes.

Often original ideas has to come from the outside. What I meant is that if you’re going to sit inside and watch TV. That’s now how it goes, even if it’s Variety shows or Dramas. It’s still not the same thing.

If you’re looking forward to try something new. I think this something you should try out on 🙂

“Wedding dress”

It’s time for wedding season again, at least in my country. People usually would tie their knots with their beloved ones around summer time. Planning their wedding months ahead, what to wear, who to invite, what to eat, where to hold it at, everything had to plan to every single details into perfection.

The perfect dress to be found, make sure you don’t rush everything at the last minute. Weddings can not be procrastinated. At least that’s what I’ve been told.

During this time there are bridezillas or even groomzillas (a difficult, unpleasant, perfectionist bride/groom). But that’s not the point of the inspiration today.

Many of you may know “Wedding dress” song by TaeYang.

It’s about being in love alone with a girl who’s already in a relationship with another guy. The worst of all whenever the couple fights, she would always come to him for comforts. He thinks she deserves better, and she should be his lady. You should check out the video, I don’t want to spoil the rest of it. 

So let’s make a twist out of it. She gets ditched at the alter, or there’s a fourth person who is in love with the third person/the groom. It could be anything, but it’s up to you how you will be making the plot.

Have fun ◕‿◕

Tip of the day – Beta readers

Wikipedia defines Beta readers as

a person who reads a written work, generally fiction, with what has been described as “a critical eye, with the aim of improving grammar, spelling, characterization, and general style of a story prior to its release to the general public.”

In other words they also works as Editors in real life. It’s very common to have beta readers in the fiction world. They’re a great help.

I first came upon them in fanfiction.net back in the days writing about something. A reader suggested that I should get Beta reader to check out my works and help me out with grammar errors.

Browsing through the web, I looked for a beta reader and see what expectations they have for alpha readers (Writers/authors).

• To write something worth reading.

It means to write something that would entertain yourself as it entertains your readers. If you write something that is not worth reading, the beta reader would ignore it. as if you are satisfied with reading your work, beta reader might also be satisfied.

• Don’t mess with beta readers

That is a fact, you should not offend or mess with your beta reader. That means don’t be rude or nag on them. Be nice to them, make sure that they have lots of time to edit it. Or else they will not help you out with your fictions, in spelling, grammar or plot holes.That leaves you in a bad relationship with beta readers.

• My Experiences

What I have experience with my beta reader, is that he takes probably the whole day to edit it. I know it’s long, but he’s a multitask person. i guess it’s hard for him to priorities other things over it.

Anyways he was a good supporter of a beta reader, he suggested a few ideas and plots that might be good to add. it can be seen in Endless love, similar to Harry Potter’s travel through voldermort’s Diary.

As time went by, he no longer had time to edit. but I appreciate his help with suggestions and correction my faults. I learned a lot from him, and realized lots of his pain while reading my old fictions. so thank you, for being there for me 🙂
