Summertime Writing: Two Character Brainstorm

This will continue to focus on one of the lists from the last exercises—the people nouns. The other two lists I will bring over to this post to use as needed to try fleshing out two characters in the future.

The purpose of this exercise is to expand the material. I picked these two characters that I know at two very different degrees. Picking these two people from my own past experience at different degrees is a conscious effort to see how relationship closeness might hinder my creative use of the characters. I'm guessing that the first character (A), who is very close to me, might suffer from the desire to protect the character. The second character (B), which I know very little about, will receive a much greater degree of creative additions. Hopefully this leads to a more creative, interesting, and usable character.

I highlighted in yellow the two characters that I want to flesh out.


Raw Brainstorm Material from last exercise

People: Old grandfather was very crafty, school bully that class stood up against, inventive friend that doesn't trust anyone, deliverer, acquaintance that likes physical activities, art teacher that is very old and yet stylish, a two-faced person, brother.

Places: fragmented hometown, desert oasis, vine infested jungle, in the middle of a hurricane, standing on a pier smelling the scent of seawater and hearing the sound of waves hit the support, on a bicycle, canoeing down a river, on an exercise bicycle.

Things: watch, pencil, computer, paper, led light, dice, hometown football shirt, fast racecar, canoe, yellow one-person tent, old pad of paper that is almost used up, the sound of fall maple leaves blowing in a strong wind outside the room window, van.

In day 3 in the book 90 Days to Your Novel, the exercise says to create and flesh out 10 characters with one-page bios. This is two characters. I'm using half of the character bio information presented in the book rather than the full character info.

This is half of the worksheet found in the book.

A. Old grandfather was very crafty


Character name: Anton

Age: 86

Occupation: YouTube carpenter video maker. A former construction worker, he made his living fixing up houses for ordinary people. He found ways to reuse old lumber and build things unconventionally. He brings his unconventional carpentry methods to a video series called Building it Damn Good, with Anton.

Family members and/or significant others: The youngest of two, his older brother Gary worked for the fire department, now retired, travels the world doing volunteer work.

Personality traits: Doer. He doesn't like to stand around. He almost always has a hammer or tool in his hand or pocket. When not doing YouTube videos, he walks the neighborhood meeting people and helping out doing odd jobs, fixing things, telling amazing stories, and finding material for his stash of material.

Character history (where is he/she from?): He grew up on  a farm in a very small rural town of a few hundred people. For work, he moved to the bigger city, but he brought his charming small-town ways. Despite living most of his life now in the big city, he still has kept his small-town manners. Each project deal is done with a shake of the hand rather than signing contracts.

Highest level of education: 7th grade. His real education was farm work and later construction. In construction, he learned on the job from others by doing things after being explained how to do it.

Physical traits: With a natural strength from hauling lumber, swinging hammers, and lifting plywood. He has a natural bulky appearance. He normally wears baggy working jeans or overalls. He always wears a brimmed hat to keep the sun out of his eyes since he works outside considerably.

Biggest motivator: He likes to build, make, and create things. Especially, he likes to reuse normally discarded wood and construction material. He lived through a deep economic recession where everyone had to "make do" with what they had.

Biggest fear: He has a fear of not doing anything or being alone. He is always talking with the neighbors and strangers. 

Things he/she likes: He likes to socialize and work constantly. He tries to do everything on his own.

Things he/she dislikes: He doesn't want to be alone nor spend time doing nothing. 

B. Art teacher that is senior and yet stylish

Character name: Cynthia
Age: 64
Occupation: Art teacher
Family members and/or significant others: Has an over controlling husband, a daughter she is proud of, and a black-sheep son.
Personality traits: Lone Wolf. Creative, stylish, and current despite her age. Sometimes her creativity is crushed by her spouse.
Character history (where is he/she from?): Born in a small middle of the country farmlands, she moved to the city to pursue art—something that brought her ridicule and teasing during her educational years. She had always spent time doing both fashion and art.
Highest level of education: Art school, art degree
Physical traits: white hair, slightly wrinkled but uses plenty of beauty products to maintain a somewhat youthful appearance. Wears expensive looking clothing.
Biggest motivator: Authentic creative instinct and expression. Breaking away from her isolated past. Being herself despite her controlling husband.
Biggest fear: Not being herself or expressing her true self. She always has to try to be creative and sometimes trendy.
Things he/she likes: She loves elegance, bright colors, spring, life, and growth. She loves to find individuality within everything.
Things he/she dislikes: She dislikes conformity, inauthenticity, and expressing things that aren't made in her own voice or style.

Comparison of characters and issues

Right from the start, I found myself trying to describe the first character (real person) instead of trying to creatively create story functional character. The real person lead the descriptions. Only occasionally could I escape the real person to add something new. I seemed to forget the YouTube portion of the story. Describing this character was nostalgic rather than fun. This character almost has become a burden to me in his current state. He doesn't seem to have as much flaws to build a conflict story.
For the second character which the real person I had only a passing knowledge of, becoming creative in the details and creating conflict built into the character was easier. Creating the story was so easier that it became very fun. She seems quirky and yet flawed.

Summertime Writing: Freestyle Nouns & Word Qualities

With three flash fiction stories finished, I can get back to summertime writing.

In the first four summertime writing posts, the source for the exercises was the Spellbinding Sentences put out by Writer's Digest by Barbara Baig. I tried to personalize the exercises so that they are original content for this blog.

In this exercise, I want to combine two sources for the exercise. The first also comes from S.S. chapter 6 on the Qualities of Words. In the chapter it mentions words that are formal vs informal, general vs specific, and abstract vs concrete. A fun exercise to do is to mix this with an exercise that I read in another book, 90 Days to Your Novel by Sarah Domet. In day 1 exercise Ready, Set, Go (With What You Know), the author challenges the writer to brainstorm from early memories people, places, and things. Instead of 2 hours, I will do a short version.

Brainstorm Nouns

People: Old grandfather was very crafty, school bully that class stood up against, inventive friend that doesn't trust anyone, deliverer, acquaintance that likes physical activities, art teacher that is very old and yet stylish, a two-faced person, brother.

Places: fragmented hometown, desert oasis, vine infested jungle, in the middle of a hurricane, standing on a pier smelling the scent of seawater and hearing the sound of waves hit the support, on a bicycle, canoeing down a river, on an exercise bicycle.

Things: watch, pencil, computer, paper, led light, dice, hometown football shirt, fast racecar, canoe, yellow one-person tent, old pad of paper that is almost used up, the sound of fall maple leaves blowing in a strong wind outside the room window, van.

Analysis of Nouns

The first thing that I realized while typing these up was that for people and places were easier to make specific, for me, than things. Towards the end of making the list of things, I consciously shifted into trying to make more specific things. I also notice that my mind was blank at first and then I just started to list things in my vacinity. The "sound of fall maple leaves..." was a memory, however.

In this brainstorm, I did not list any proper nouns even though several of the nouns do have proper noun names.

The hometown football shirt could be a jersey, but when I wrote it I was wearing a t-shirt with the teams name on it.

Many of the longer written words and phrases do have a more emotional connection with me compared to the single or general words.

I do need a few abstract nouns. I'll do that now. time, challenge, understanding, effort, growth.

Next posts

This post will probably serve as a foundation for several posts because both books have further exercises reusing these initial collections of words.

Flash Fiction Story #1: Battlecruiser Kapangyarihan's stand against the invading void-beings

This is my first of three flash fiction stories for my flash fiction weekend challenge.

This is the gameplay using Flash RPG.
2,1,2,3,1, 5, 5
This is a Sci-Fi, room setting, save-from..., supernatural or unimaginable

Aboard the battlecruiser Kapangyarihan, the star navy crew franticly tries to saves the world.. from...warlike extradimensional void-beings.

This is a game about mind, the main character is more intelligent (+2) than most people for this invasion of void-beings probably a science maybe a astrobiologist or xenoarchaeologist.

The difficulty of such mission is a challenging mission (5 out of 6 difficulty). This is a terrifying threat to humanity.

In near-earth space, between the earth and the moon, the more intelligent astrobiologist aboard the bridge of the war-class battlecruiser Kapangyarihan must find a way to save the world from the terrifying, destructive, warlike invading extradimensional void-beings.

2, good effort, 2+2=4, 5-4 = 1 short
The astrobiologist gives it good effort and nearly saves the world, however the invading void-beings overrun the effort.

The astrobiologist uses knowledge gained from testing on a captured void-being to create several void-repelling devices aboard several ships. Placed around the world in orbit, the astrobiologist signals the activation of all the repelling devices. At first, void beings are repelled, disintegrating into nothingness. However, soon a trickle of beings make it through between the reach full strength of the repeller. That trickle soon turns to a full on onslaught. The astrobiologist looks on in horror. The devices were not quite powerful enough. If only they had a little more strength—maybe even 10% increase could have saved the planet. The remaining Starfleet retreated to the moon base to regroup.

Summertime Writing: Making a Word Your Own

I ended up looking up half of the remaining words picked yesterday in about a half hour after finishing the post yesterday. The most significant word from those others was surface. Some thesaurus words for surface is face, exterior, covering, periphery, façade, or superficial. It can also be used as a verb to emerge, rise, or appear. I like the dual nature of the word and the multiple ways to use surface.

Continuing a summer Writing exercise series, I'm jumping over a couple of Spellbinding Sentences exercises that I believe I've already covered in the first three posts—one of them being reflecting on your practice, which I've done throughout the posts.

For this post I want to practice to make a few words my own. Besides learning the definition and thinking about what the words mean to a writer, the main way you "own" a word is by using them in sentences.

First I bring over a few information from the prior days. The three words that I focused on yesterday I'll try to use in sentences today. The Keith Duvall writing, inspired by the Kevin Durant NBA Warrior finals loss a few days ago that I wrote in the freewriting exercise, can serve as inspiration in writing these sentences. Some of the Word Mind: Word Frequency words that jump out at me, I'll maybe use as well—to either use, avoid, or alter.

Source Material

3 Focus words

symbol, captured, life

Freewriting Information

Keith Duvall a heroic, an African American former Union soldier who fought in the US Civil War.

After the war, Keith settled and built a cattle ranch in the expanding Western Frontier.
Several outlaws had ravaged the area in recent days and made off with several head of cattle.
a western gunfighter situation.

Word Frequency
his ranch 
shouted to 
ranch hands 
the bandits, outlaws
his rifle
his cattle 
war
barn
bullets 
soldier 
hands

I had only heard about African Americans fighting in the American Civil War.

Here is a link to a History Channel short video
Black Civil War Soldiers

Symbol


Yin and Yang


I've already mentioned Yin Yang symbol.

Keith Duvall has only seen the Yin and Yang symbol once in a newspaper article, though he doesn't know what it is called though. 

"It looks like two tadpoles trying to chase each other," he said a slight deep chuckle made him shake a little.

In those two paragraphs, besides trying to use the word symbol, I was trying to use my own selected symbol through the eyes of my fiction character Keith Duvall. I figured he might have only seen the symbol in a newspaper—the main form of news media for that time period. The first way that I though I might be able to reveal his opinion was through dialogue to someone. I don't know who he was talking to or with. His opinion however is that the image is a little humorous. That reveals a little of his personality, which differs from my own. I think it is a cool image. Keith Duvall can only relate to tadpoles which maybe he saw or collected in some pond as a child. Collecting or playing with tadpoles was probably fun and made him giggle as a child. I've actually collected tadpoles as a child and it was fun as well. That is probably why I used those memories as Keith's opinion of Yin and Yang symbol.

Captured

For captured, I'll just use the tadpole incident. I quickly research when mason jars were invented—just before the American Civil War. Perfect!

I'll also bring in a sidekick friend, David.

"Got em!" Davy said his breathing was fast and erratic.

Keefy looked over to see what Davy had found.

What Davy held in the mason jar high above his head was dirty pond water with two large captured tadpoles swimming about. He watched them swim about. At one moment, the two started to chase each other like a whirlpool circling around.

Keefy's eyes went large and his mouth opened round and large.

One of them broke out from this chase and wiggle  down to the bottom.

Keefy smiled and then chuckled.

"I'm going to chase you like a tadpole, " he warned Davy.

Davy's head went side to side, his missing tooth grinned. "Not if you can't catch me," he said. 

He took off running. Davy followed in pursuit.

That was a longer passage that I just wrote. When writing, I first thought that Keith and David probably would go by nicknames at this younger age. All of this writing was first to use the word captured in a sentence, "...two large captured tadpoles..." I also wanted to develop the Keith character and begin to develop a David character. This also serves as background material possibly for a flashback, first chapter, or prologue. This experience can also somewhat mirror how Keith would later chase or go after the bandit outlaws.

Life

To me, freedom during that period was a life worth fighting for.

In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free -- honorable alike in what we give, and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best, hope of earth.
--December 1, 1862 Message to Congress

Keith looked across the battlefield.

He then looked to the clearing sky

"The best life we can have is fighting for the freedom and right to have our own possessions," Davy said, his voice steady and felt some tightness in his arms and neck.

Davy looked off into the corpse littered battlefield. He took in a deep breath, held it, and then slowly released it. 

He turned back to Keith, adjusting his gun back slightly. "What do you want to do... if we make it through this craziness?"

"Cows. I'd like to have me a big-old ranch full of some cows." 

"Moo," Davy said. "Keefy's going live the life of a cattle rancher."

I set this in the Civil War. I'm not sure where this is or what specific battlefield. I used life twice in this passage. I also brought in the idea of getting his own cattle ranch. I was a little torn about either having the sky clearing or darkening. I could have done either. How the story goes, I might change that image to use as a foreshadowing or thematic imagery.

Summary

All of these writing exercises have been beneficial. I do feel a different appreciating for these three words. symbol, captured, and life feel more like my words now.

Summertime Writing: Keeping a record

The next writing exercise comes from Spellbinding Sentences for the basic practice #2.

The entire purpose of this exercise is to help increase the number of words (vocabulary) that have personal meaning to a writer through conscious focus, reflection, and time to get to know and care about words.

Exercise: Listening to words rather than content

For this exercise, I will text to voice a science news article found on my Google Science News page.  "William Shatner Takes Playful Jab At 'Star Wars' Over 'Starfleet' Symbol Found On Mars". As the voice reads the article, I will jot down if any words stand out to me in the article.

playful, jab, dunes, surface, rivalry, captured, chevron, symbol, shade, war, meanwhile, processes, natural, lava, dune casts, life

Next, for this list I will pick out three of them to define and add a thesaurus entry to, commenting on the entries after each pool of information is presented. The commentary helps to personalize these words for me, the writer.

3 Focus words

symbol, captured, life

Definitions from Webster 1913

\Sym"bol\, n. [L. symbolus, symbolum, Gr. sy`mbolon a sign by which one knows or infers a thing, from ? to throw or put together, to compare; sy`n with + ? to throw: cf. F. symbole. Cf. {Emblem}, {Parable}.] 
1. A visible sign or representation of an idea; anything which suggests an idea or quality, or another thing, as by resemblance or by convention; an emblem; a representation; a type; a figure; as, the lion is the symbol of courage; the lamb is the symbol of meekness or patience.

So, the basis of the word symbol came from known things thrown or put together. A person can know or bring forward (infer) things—maybe memories, feelings, beliefs, thoughts, and even action based on symbols.

One symbol that I have always liked is the Yin Yang (太極, tàijí). To me, this is not just a symbol of oppositions, it is a symbol of infinite mixes of possibilities.
by John Langdon
\Cap"ture\, n. [L. capture, fr. caper to take: cf. F. capture. See {Caitiff}, and cf. {aptive}.] 
1. The act of seizing by force, or getting possession of by superior power or by stratagem; as, the capture of an enemy, a vessel, or a criminal. 
2. The securing of an object of strife or desire, as by the power of some attraction. 
3. The thing taken by force, surprise, or stratagem; a prize; prey. 
Syn: Seizure; apprehension; arrest; detention.

So capture is seizing or taking by force or attraction. Capturing can be physical, social, emotional, financial, or spiritual. Literally, I captured these words from the science article.

\Life\ (l[imac]f), n.; pl. {Lives} (l[imac]vz). [AS. l[imac]f; akin to D. lijf body, G. leib body, MHG. l[imac]p life, body, OHG. l[imac]b life, Icel. l[imac]f, life, body, Sw. lif, Dan. liv, and E. live, v. [root]119. See {Live}, and cf. {Alive}.] 
1. The state of being which begins with generation, birth, or germination, and ends with death; also, the time during which this state continues; that state of an animal or plant in which all or any of its organs are capable of performing all or any of their functions; -- used of all animal and vegetable organisms. 
2. Of human beings: The union of the soul and body; also, the duration of their union; sometimes, the deathless quality or existence of the soul; as, man is a creature having an immortal life.
3. (Philos) The potential principle, or force, by which the organs of animals and plants are started and continued in the performance of their several and co["o]perative functions; the vital force, whether regarded as physical or spiritual.

Life can be actual breathing and physiological or also philosophical through functioning or performance. In the Philippine language after asking someone how they are doing, the expression buhay pa ako is common which means, "I'm still alive." To me, it reminds me of being with friends and families that are experiencing difficulties in life. Despite all of the living struggles—even for minimal necessities of life—being still alive is a feat in itself. 

Allen's Synonyms & Antonyms 1921


symbol, n. representation, sign, significative (rare), emblem, figure, type, token, shadow (fig.), ensign (learned), presentation (rare), sacrament (rare); spec, palm, pictograph, totem, badge, character, letter, exponent, word, image, picture.

From this list, I like the words sign, emblem, ensign, pictograph, totem, badge, word, image, and picture.

capture, n. 1. seizure, taking, catching, apprehension {learned); spec, arrest, reduction, prize.
Antonyms: see freeing.

2. In a concrete sense: prize, bag. 

From this list, I like the words taking, catching, and bag.

life, n. 1. being (contextual), existence {contextual), course (fig.); spec, vitality, breath, head (.fig.), pilgrimage, journey (fig)-
Antonyms: see death.
2. Referring to those who are alive on earth: world.
See ENERGY, LIVELINESS, ESSENCE, ESSENTIAL. 

From this word list, I like the words existence, vitality, breath, journey, energy, liveliness, and essence.

Summary

This was a very fun exercise, more than I had planned. I can see how doing so helps to personalize and store up a word collection that have greater meaning. After submitting this blog post, I am going to go back and do the same for the other words on the list. I will not write down that information for speed-sake.

Summertime Writing: Word Mind

In the last exercise, freewriting created a small amount of content without any analysis.

In this post, I will do the 2nd exercise from Spellbinding Sentences. The challenge for this exercise is to focus on the words used.

I'll mix this exercise with a word analysis of what I wrote.

Although in the exercise the author just asks just to focus on each word that you write and to not judge the words yet, I want to use a few programs to analyze what I wrote using statistics. Doing so gives me a different perspective on my writing. It will also provide a small baseline for future exercises.
