Despain's Storywriting Method
- Thread starter ArtBane
- Start date
Not bad artical... but not everyone knows how to be naturally creative. I understand how ideas can just flow, but for some people that aren't so used to it may not be able to quite get that. :\
I do agree that thinking out scenes is a very good way to get ideas flowing. I find it funny that I always think about my stories characters/scenes too whenever I can possibly get the chance. Though I don't actually talk to myself haha ;P But that goes to just show how youre more into it. That's what creativity does to you but I think it's harder to explain to those that just aren't that way or used to it.
And I'm pretty sure that's what it boils down to... as far as good ideas for stories. There's not really any sound or exact methood to use but then I find that's the beauty of creativity is that it's best unleashed.

Great article, I learned a lot from it!
I like to write to begin with, and this has made me better at it.
Thanks!

Why was Despain Banned? All I remember was him typing up a letter that said good buy... I never knew why he was banned...Can anyone tell me?
He was a awesome guy. Yes he was a little... Frank sometimes, but cool none the less

WOW. That guy is just like ME! I talk to myself, I don't watch TV, and pretty much the only thing I ever think about are my stories. My stories are my life.
I am in love with this tutorial, and I'm bookmarking it.

This is a great article =D and I shall be sure to try it I thought the examples he used were a great touch.
It's a good tutorial, but I don't think you can do the one writing guide for everyone... the title already says it - this is Despains method, which suits him. Others won't get along with this at all, while there'll surely be some that'll succeed by doing exactly what he said. Well, and there'll of course people inbetween. Being mainly a writer myself, what I can suggest you is using this as a base (as it's a good one, nonetheless) and build your own style on top of it... there's nothing worse in creative's business than thinking that someone did the perfect guideline and follow it no matter what...

I don't really see how this process can be changed though, other than some slight variations, like building a world first (aka. order of steps changes).
