Somebody say wine and naked twister? I'm in!
Now, left foot on red.
Quote by avrgblkgrl
Oh, we are going to have a good time. Naked twister it is, see you in hell! Don't think that
relieves you from bringing something.
Quote by Coco
I'll see you in hell, is naked Twister played there? I mean I like to drink too, but I'd like to play that with you.
I don't recall any character or parts of a setting that I didn't glean from something or someone real. There are just too many opportunities to do so: the sexy hunk that's in line staring at me while his girlfriend or wife pays for their merchandise, the seemingly shy librarian that has an undercurrent of sexual heat just barely contained under the surface, and the powerful businessman texting in the elevator--too many things that my mind takes a note or an image of; how are we to pass those things up?
Let's face it, and I'm not saying about the numerous talented authors here, but often we need that little bit of reality to set the right tone in a story. It's foolish to think that artistry isn't shared.
Quote by curvygalore
I'm all for the nakedness and wine, but Twister sounds too much like purgatory!! ;)
Quote by avrgblkgrl
You have your hell and I have mine. It's relative and my Karma must be a little better than yours Reverend.
Quote by TheUprightMan
...Involves lots of climbing over, under, and around other naked people.
Yes, you may use this idea, but I want to hear about it
Quote by avrgblkgrl
It sounds like one of those "let me see if these fools actually do it" things
I'm for keeping Naked Twister! It requires less directions and thinking.
I have better things to do in hell.
And yes, I will be seeing all of you there.P254ZcecbA5UGnPu
Quote by vanessa26
Oh shit ..guess I am going most my writing is about someone at least loosely inspired by..its hard not to be inspired by certain events or people
besides some people are so interesting you just have to write about them...
So I'll meet you hell..but I am hoping for more than just wine like I don't know maybe some creme de menthe
Quote by avrgblkgrl
Yep, all y'all are going to hell. I'm for cocktails too.
Please, can someone bring snacks? ?
Quote by BethanyFrasier
Whoever is condemner-in-chief, I'll be rebelling against their authority in hell, like I do here. If it's a crime to scavenge, then I'm a criminal writer. Karma can do with me what it will. I've never let consequences stifle my quest for truth. I don't think most people are aware of how interesting they are in their everyday lives and habits. If they are unable to be that self-aware, I'll always try to be aware enough for both of us, and capture indelible moments from their lives as character elements in my stories. By writing them down, I choose to believe I am making them even more indelible. You can call me a succubus, or you can call it tribute. I prefer to think I'm immortalizing them, for good or ill. I'm most acutely aware of my own foibles, so I'm the most-oft recurring character in my writings.
I'm pretty sure I will find a far more interesting population in hell than I will in heaven, and if that's where I'll find the naked twister games, judge me hellbound!
Quote by Samuel Beckett
All I know is what the words know, and the dead things, and that makes a handsome little sum, with a beginning, a middle and an end as in the well-built phrase and the long sonata of the dead. And truly it little matters what I say, this or that or any other thing. Saying is inventing. Wrong, very rightly wrong. You invent nothing, you think you are inventing, you think you are escaping, and all you do is stammer out your lesson, the remnants of a pensum one day got by heart and long forgotten
Quote by John Lennon
There's nothing you can make that can't me made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy
Don't believe everything that you read.
Quote by Just_A_Guy_You_Know
I respect Toni Morrison's writing, but I think she's wrong on this. We are collectors, compilers, rearrangers, embellishers, connectors, and collagers of our experience. We do not invent except to take what existed and present it in some new way. Every word and gesture and plot and character was ripped off from somewhere. The best of us disguise our sources well, but we're all a bunch of thieving magpies building our nests with the details stolen from our lives.
Quote by PanJinlian
The only thing that I scavenge is names. The characters to whom I give those names bear no resemblance to the real bearers of said names, and I'm sure that my friends would be stunned to find out what they do in my stories
Quote by avrgblkgrl
Anyone who knows me knows that I love the amazing Toni Morrison. Every word she shares is a gift—until she called me a scavenger. The shame.
Toni Morrison never uses anyone she knows when she writes. She admits to using some gestures and dialogue of her mother’s in certain places when writing The Bluest Eye. That's it though. She says that she has never done it since. An interviewer asked her, “Why is that?”
Here is her response:
I don’t do what many writers do. There is this feeling that artists have—photographers, more than other people, and writers—that they are acting like a succubus … this process of taking from something that’s alive and using it for one’s own purposes. You can do it with trees, butterflies, or human beings. Making a little life for oneself by scavenging other people’s lives is a big question, and it does have moral and ethical implications.
In fiction, I feel the most intelligent, and the most free, and the most excited, when my characters are fully invented people. That’s part of the excitement. If they’re based on somebody else, in a funny way it’s an infringement of a copyright. That person owns his life, has a patent on it. It shouldn’t be available for fiction.
There is obviously no end to the depth of her creativity. I bow down. I’m just working with what I have.
I had to admit to myself that I’m a Succubus.
I’m going to writer’s hell. I hope they have wine.
I may be forever haunted by the people who recognize themselves in my stories, with no grounds to sue of course. When I say I’m writing fiction, it is fiction—based on…uhm… However, I take who I am and what I feel, what I wish I could forget and what I wish I remembered better, who I know and what they share, what I've seen and where I've gone. I mix it with my imagination, sometimes my laughter or sweat or tears, sometimes with my blood (I’m a writer, I can be dramatic if I want to). Then, I write you the story that forms itself at the tip of my fingers.
Morals and ethics and writing... Are you going to writer’s hell with me or am I alone in this?
Quote by avrgblkgrl
Oh.
You are going to hell too.
Can I borrow that corset?
Quote by avrgblkgrl
So yeah *I'm sliding over and making room for you*, you are going to writer's hell. What kind of wine are you bringing? And, now we expect snacks too.dLvxD1Y3YtP2hsGm
Seriously, who reads those authors stuck in heaven?
Don't believe everything that you read.
Quote by Just_A_Guy_You_Know
More of a beer drinker, but I don't mind a glass of red from time to time: Pinot Noir, Merlot, or a good Cab. If I'm going to be stuck somewhere for all eternity, at least I'll have great company!
Quote by oceanrunner
Well, if it's Hell, I'll bring the warm lite beer.
Quote by oceanrunner
Something about looking for ice in hell comes to mind...
