Writing Tip #1 : Movie Inspiration - T.O.P. (repost)

Bukod sa pagbibigay ng mga sikretong tips sa aming mga manunulat ay naisipan kong bumuo ng isang category para sa mga nangangailangan ng mga tips sa pagsusulat. Ito ay mga simple lang naman at ang iba ay maaaring alam na ninyo. Pero heto na rin siya para mabasa ninyo.

Una sa lahat, wala naman talagang WRITER'S Block. Sakit sa KATAM meron, KATAMaran. Kung hindi mo maituloy ang iyong kwento, hindi ka dapat tumigil, magsulat ka ng iba! Kung wala kang sapat na oras, pwes siguraduhin mong wala kang sinasayang na oras para sa mga bagay na wala namang kapaparaan.

Eto ang unang tip para sa iyo na me KATAM Writing Syndrome.

Writing tip #1

Manuod ng sine.

Hindi lang basta-basta mainstream na pelikula. Dapat ay ung kailangang pilahan, maraming mga taong nasa paligid mo at kung anu-anong usapan ang maririning mo. Hindi lamang ang mismong pelikula ang sadya mo sa lugar na iyon. Ang mga tao sa pila ang iyong papanuorin. Kailangang meron kang notebook na laging dala-dala sa mga ganitong pagkakataon. Delikado kasing gadget ang gamit mo dahil baka manakawan ka pa ng di oras.

Ang pagsusulat ng iyong mga ideya at obserbasyon ay maaaring makalikha ng mga bagong karater, plot points at mga scenario na magagamit mo sa susunod na nakaharap ka sa computer para magtitipa.

Ang pelikulang papanuorin mo ay may silbi din syempre. Ito ang tutulong sa iyo na makapagpahinga sa pag-iisip ng iyong kwento dahil mababalot ka ng kwentong sinulat ng iba. Makikiliti nito ang iyong imahinasyon at madadala sa mga lugar na hindi mo pa napupuntahan. Iisa lang ang buhay natin na tinatahak sa ngayon, hindi natin kayang mabuhay bilang iba't ibang tao kaya't ang mga pelikula ay paraan upang masalamin natin o makita ang mga pangyayari sa buhay na kaiba sa ating buhay.

Tulad na lang ng mga lugar na hindi ko mapuntahan kasi wala akong sapat na pera at dahil na rin sa takot akong sumakay ng eroplano, me pagkakataon akong makita iyon at possibleng sa aking mga kwento ay maisip kong ilagay ang aking mga karakter sa katulad na lugar.

Pwedeng ang iyong sinusulat ay may katulad na karanasan sa tauhan ng pelikula. Maaari mong maintindihan ang ilang mga bahagi ng iyong tauhan sa pamamagitan ng panunuod sa actor na nasa pelikula. Magkakabuhay, magkakaroon ng mukha ang iyong tauhan at maaaring mapakilos mo siya ng mas maayos dahil nito.

Tingnan kung me oras ka para sa mga film festival na ito

And for the students to learn how to make their own CV.

But please not that this format is for TOP use only.

EIC, pinaywriter

THE CV NEEDS TO BE ATTACHED WITH THE PICTURES AND SENT TO THE EIC'S EMAIL ADDRESS. pinaywritertop@gmail.com.  Do not send it to your editor. 


Compliance is a must. 

Netiquette

Disclaimer: This might be T.O.P. forum specific at times. I will try to be as general as I possibly can.

1. The key work is RESPECT.

If you need me to explain this to you, you need to go back to your GMRC classes and retake basic human respect. Seriously. Or google the dictionary meaning of respect.

I have a firm my blog, my opinion policy.Whatever I write on my personal blog is my opinion. If I am in a social site or a forum, I try to respect the opinion of other people. If I disagree with them I make sure I don't use fallacies like attacking their person so I can debunk their premise or conclusion.
That just show that you are dumber than the other person.

2. Quote only the parts you agree in.

It's a little difficult to read through a dozen quotes just to find a smiley in the end. It takes up space. So if you must, quote the parts that you want to react to not the entire conversation.

3. Own up to your words.

I hate people who troll other people's sites and forums as Anonymous. I mean, if you have an opinion, express it and own up to it.

4. Nonfiction not fiction, if you can, stick to the truth.

I have encountered a lot of liars online. It seems to be a thing for a time. But if one wants to make real friends, then it's best to tell them who you really are and what you really are.

Since we are living almost half of our lives through our profiles, we need to make sure that 98% of our online self is the real us. We can keep the 2% for our deep dark secrets and for the photoshoped versions of ourselves.

I would hate to know that the real person behind the online persona that I liked or befriended is pure fiction. I would not believe anything else that person would say after that. Liars, offline and online are lame.

5. Use your words.

Smileys and jejemon speak is a big no-no. Especially if the forum that you are in include people from all walks of life. This is a mortal sin if you are in a writing site or a writer's forum.

No matter the reason, it's unacceptable, irritating and downright dumb. (I know I am being harsh but the truth often hurts.)

So all in all, there are a million other things we do wrong online. Don't even start on my hentai addiction. (opps...did I say that out loud? *makes penance*) But although the internet is a tool that is neither good or evil, so was the Orb of Aldur. (if you understood that reference and you are a single guy, call me. ^_^)
What we do with it and what we will it to do determines whether or not WE are the good guy or the bad guy.

So respect your neighbors, and by neighbors I mean other netizens.

Capish?

How to Get Referrals

I am having a hard time getting people to join the sites I am in. Peoplestring and Yuwie are no Facebook.  I gave Josh some advice on how to make entries related to what we do. I told him about the keyword rich method and the low-key one. I can't remember what it's called but I described it to him.
I am thinking maybe I can tap into those people who are on my gamer list. They are online most of the time anyway, why not help them use that for earning some money.
Josh said he would be glad to train anyone who comes in through me since I am a dunce when it comes to this. ^_^ He's a nice guy. I just hope I get someone soon to help him out as well. Now, if I only did SEO better then I could help him out more. Oh well, more to learn.
The funny thing is that someone sent me a message asking me to be friends with him. This is complete with compliments and all of that. And it wasn't in Yuwie. I simply told him that I am not really into men but thank you. I ended it as nicely and as formaly with a sir so that he would know that I was not trying to be mean or bitchy. I have this ability to make friends from sites that otherwise would not be where you would find one. One is enough though, I don't really need anymore. Josh said there aren't any oddballs in Peoplestring. And by oddballs I men hentai men. ^_^ Look up what hentai means in Japanese and you'll get my point. As for me I can handle my own when something like that happens.

I just really might need to go back to SEO writing since my paycheck is proving to be peanuts. But I need to get the comics that I am making and the editing that agreed to do before I can get around to doing something like that again.
