Thoughts About Prose Flow

Fuck me dead. I - seriously - this is true... I have watched this A LOT before. I used to have it on VHS tape and even cassette.

I have ALWAYS used the underlying ideas to write - but I can only use 'ear' to arrange the prose. I'm not aware there is any such thing as 'the chromatic scales' or the 'do-re-mi' of prose.

Possibly there should be though. I don't know how. But I fully concur with the basic idea.

There are half a dozen classical and semi- or modern classical musicians I rely on to write my stories.

I suspect good prose conforms to musical rules. Someone needs to earn a PhD analyzing how music and speech/prose complement each other.
 
What I got from the video (in my ham-handed, neolithic way) is feel free to go on tangents, but make sure the tangent is rooted in, and eventually returns to, the base material and that the connections can be followed throughout.
 
I am really glad you brought this up. I was just thinking about this the other day.

Good writing has a "beat" to it. Not sure how else to describe it, it's almost intuitive. Looking over my earlier works, they are choppy with no discernible beat. I wonder if anyone else has noticed anything similar with their writing?

I don't know how music evolved but I feel safe thinking orators and singers came frst, and maybe prose and music share common rules at some level.

Bernstein addressed the evolution of tonality. The kitten on the keyboard follows no rules.
 
My bullshit meter just blew up, and my give-a-fuck detector still won't register a damned thing. Not a single beep. Genius comes in various packages, but once you've seen one prick, you've pretty much seen them all.

Sir (I don't read gay) so no opinion.

On, now, I have over 100 stories posted at Literotica that aren't GM, which is about twice more total stories than most everyone else has. Don't go making the mistake of thinking I only write GM. I so want to be disdained as much as my other colleagues mentioned here who at least do have stories posted to Literotica, unlike . . .
 
I don't feel the need to do any introspection you suggest. And your fifteen minutes are up with me.

Demand? No.

It was a suggestion for self introspection.

And holliday can go fuck herself. She's a cheerleader.

Apologies for that, Holliday1960.

Fuck myself? Entirely unnecessary, although it has been suggested a few times before. I am a cheerleader of every name you listed and a few others. Let us throw them in there too...James, NW, HD, JN, sorry if I missed anyone...Now you take back that cheerleader remark, right now! See? making demands is kinda funny when you consider where it gets you. ;)

Honestly, this thread is garbage. The only reason I'm here it to say is that I've always liked cheerleaders. :)

Now I'll go wash up to rinse off the garbage scent. You'd think it was mid-summer or something. The flies... The flies...
 
Yeah I am soo no music oriented when it comes to its terminology so I unfortunate quickly got a headache of watching that video for less than a minute because of the constant stopping and playing of music between words.

Sorry Noir.
