Any Writers Among Us?

[The Metal Chick]

Symphony X fans are creative people right? Well, I know we had some silly story threads and also a poetry thread, so I know there's some other pen pushers out there. I had the urge to start this thread because I just finished reading a story I wrote this past spring only to realize how much it SUCKS!!!!!! It's not the worst thing I ever wrote but it's pretty damn close. Oh well, since I officially suck, who else out there likes to write?

I write reviews, but since were're talking about creative writing that doesn't count . I write things down when i'm bored. I've written some things in a song-like structure, but I haven't got around finishing some of them (and actually, I don't think i'm good at all).

 

[Knight of the Templar]

I wrote a short story about "Candlelight Fantasia"... my friends said that I was a very good writer... a very gifted one...

Bad news: It's in spanish. So, if somebody knows a lot of spanish, and english... please, translate the story!!

I like to write stuff when I'm inspired, sadly, most of the things I am writing now are about pain, or about loneliness... or about love (the sad part of it), or deception... I don't know, that kind of stuff. I don't write happy stories anymore...

You can send me a PM with the story and I'll try to work that out.

 

[Knight of the Templar]

Fine!! I'm going to upload the story and then I'll send you the URL...

Thanks a lot!!

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Cool, I got it. I'll try to work on that tomorrow \m/

Edit:

Holy shit! dude that's kind of long

 

[Knight of the Templar]

LOL!!

Well... here's a little spoiler from the text:


When I finished, she was also crying. With a soft voice she told me:
-Let me add a sentence... that reflects what I am feeling in this moment: "lonely roses slowly wither and die"

(sorry for the bad translation )

I write cd reviews. I can write like writing and stuff if i have to, but i don't like writing. it's kinda boring.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Seriously, hehe; I wasn't expecting that It'll take a while since i'll be kind of busy these days. Here's a little nonesense I wrote some time ago:

Lying down like an empty corpse,
lifeless and frightened,
1000 years pass and desperation still blocks my mind,
no one here to save me now,
hades personified,
living in a coma

Why can't I wake out of this dream,
is this how my life is meant to be?
living in a coma I blame everyone for my loss,
living in a coma I curse your name for my pain,

Awakened I realize the cruel reality,
a true living hell has overcomed my head,
I try to succeed against this lifelong struggle,
...and then I fall
again I fall

Shadows haunt your soul,
shadows haunt your soul,
awakened now you're lost

Geez, just thinking that I had to type all of that gives me a headache. I know, i'm a lazy geezer.

Wow... sounds like a song... a very dark one, I might add...

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Yeah, most of the things I write are like that. I can't stand happy lyrics, hehe. I was listening to Kreator's ''Coma Of Souls'' and that's where I got the idea of living in a coma. The meaning of what I wrote doesn't relate at all to Coma of Souls, though.

That's really great Ultimate Symphony It is easier to write dark poems i think. And Zach, writing rules! You're really great at it, even if it is just cd reviews. Heh, i say writing rules when I can't even write a decent story...I've entered into four contests and have lost every single one. My characters are dull, my plots are limp, yet for some reason, i just can't seem to stop.......

Thanks. For me it's definitively easier to write dark ''lyrics''. Not that i'm an unhappy person, but I can relate to anger better. Btw, don't stop writing, even if you're ''bad'' at it, the best thing to do is to let those emotions flow. Hell, I don't think i'm good and I still write .

On a related note: Have any of you written something that you satisfied you a lot and lost it? I was a little depressed this summer watching a movie, I don't remember the name, but I do remember Minnie Driver was in it. Anyhow, I got inspired and wrote some lyrics that I really liked on a notebook that I had. I lost the damn thing a few days later All I remember was the title ''Mistress Of Death''

 

[Knight of the Templar]

BTW, I wrote some lyrics... for a song... that me and a friend are making...

These are the lyrics... this isn't the final version, because we're going to add an intro and a final part, I think... and extend a little bit some parts...

It's based on a book. On a chapter of the book... the book it's called "the Forbidden age"..

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

I really like the way you conveyed your ideas, and this is coming from someone who doesn't like the typical ''I lost my loved one, I feel like shit'' type of story. It's pretty surreal, like a dream of some sort where you don't know where you are.

 

[Knight of the Templar]

Wow... thanks a lot, man!!!

BTW, what's your real name?

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Elí, my friends call me Ray, though.

 

[Knight of the Templar]

Ok, Ray!

My name's Camilo... and my friends call me "Rojas" (which is my surname, btw)

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Camilo Rojas, right? cool (btw, that's your msn username, right?)

 

[Knight of the Templar]

Yup... that's my old msn account...
