When user Ziggylong was writing King of the Woods, or Trivial Pursuit (which is fantastic and people should read) we were co-editing each-other's work and talked a lot about writing. Of all the not-me, not-dead-writers people in the world ziggy has had the largest influence on the development of City of Sinister Angles.
                              
My roommate is on here too, RobertHills . He doesn't have a great deal of work on this site but he's an excellent writer who I run my ideas past quite often. He's usually aware of whatever half-formed thoughts I have that are going to be turned into a 온라인카지노게임 before that happens. Rob and I have written tons together, including a Theater of the Absurd play, a comedy anthology about a small town (work in progress), and we've been in sketch troupes together and written countless sketches. Rob is one of the most talented people I know, and I know a lot of talented people (see sister, above).
                              
I kind of lost touch with a lot of people on here when I went back to school, since I didn't have time to write or pester people on this site. I've only just recently started trying to get back into my groove.
                              
Sarafaie, Magic: When you are in your writing mode, do you try to be more original or to deliver to readers what they want?
                              
Charles, Featured Author: Neither of those things is particularly high on my priorities list. Originality is overrated in my opinion. Everyone nowadays wants to be original before they want to be good. Cliches become cliches because they work. The most valuable kind of originality comes from finding your own artistic voice more than making a deliberate effort to be original. 
                              
While I do have an audience in mind for everything I write I basically write what I want to read and my target audiences are always just me wearing different hats. 
                              
With City of Sinister Angles I'm more worried about it being punchy. The stories are structured like a comedy, even the really horror-driven ones, you can only go so many beats before you need a tension break. This can be a joke or it can be some other point of interest like body horror but there needs to be a certain regularity of punchlines. I leads to my prose being more spartan than I'd like and so then I'm also trying to compensate for that.
                              
So I would say worrying about comedic flow and being completely up my own ass with the language would be my two top priorities in writing mode. Neither originality nor pleasing readers ranks very high.
                              
Sarafaie, Magic: What do you owe the real people upon whom you base your characters?
                              
Charles, Featured Author: That's an interesting question. My instinct was to immediately say "I don't base characters on real people" but that wouldn't have been accurate. A lot of the stories in City of Sinister Angles are parallels of historical events which I suppose makes some of the characters analogues of historical figures.
                              
In that case I owe them nothing. If you're incompetent enough to do something that gets adapted into a Thule 온라인카지노게임 then you deserve the scorn of posterity. 
                              
My background is in comedy, and comedy is all about transgressing. It wouldn't even occur to me that I might have obligations to people I might base my work on. I don't see outsiders as getting to have any say on how or what an artist creates.
                              
Sarafaie, Magic: The Second last question is.. as you probably know that magic profile is new to wattpad community.. Would you like to give us one or two inputs to make magic better even more?
                              
Charles, Featured Author: I think it would be neat to do what the Sci Fi community has done and have a 카지노후기-based fantasy literary magazine. You could publish every two months or so and include short stories, reviews, articles, and all kinds of material drawn from the community. This gives writers a chance to attract an audience, helps keeps people engaged with the magic profile, and helps spur people to create more content. It also has a proven track record.
                              
This is a bit of a long shot, but you wanted two ideas so here's my second: there are a lot of published authors who maintain a 카지노후기 profile as a way of engaging with fans. It could be neat to contact some of them and see if they'd be willing to donate their time to something cool, like judging a short 온라인카지노게임 contest (maybe even flash fiction to make it easy on them) or maybe just writing a writing prompt or the first paragraph for a 온라인카지노게임 in one of those contests where everyone has the same starting paragraph. All they can say is no, and maybe someone will think it's a way for them to build their own audience. All it takes is one writer to be excited by the idea or bored enough to try anything and suddenly you've got a celebrity guest judge.
                              
Sarafaie, Magic: Whoa.. thanks so much.. That's a a very good idea you have there.. ^^
                              
Anyway, for the last and probably the most random one..
                              
You've been given an elephant, but you can't give it away nor you can sell it nor get the elephant back to the owner. What would you do with that elephant you have?
                              
Charles, Featured Author: The answer to that question depends on whether ghosts are real, so the first thing I would do would be to definitively prove that one way or the other. 
                              
If ghosts are real then the course ahead is obvious: the elephant and I would become a professional ghost-hunting team. I would be the grumpy skeptic and the elephant the wide-eyed true believer.
                              
If ghosts aren't real then I would electrocute the elephant to demonstrate the dangers of alternating current.
                              
Sarafaie, Magic: Haha.. xD and that's wrap! Thanks so much for sharing your time with us.. we've so much fun talking to you.. And take care.. ^^
                              
Charles, Featured Author: You too. Thanks for talking with me.
