yeah my uncle and his missus moved over to Aus last year and they're both working there and are on some smurfed up ridiculous salary. the amount of money is appealing for sure but I just don't want to move to australia, i don't like hot places xD never even been to the US and don't really think I will, doesn't have the appeal to me that it has to some people.

im thinking aboutweinersright now

The fact that you're a method writer blows me away though. My mood sometimes alters it greatly, but when it comes to an existing story, it's hard for me to get that right feeling going, even when I'm emotionally motivated. Hopefully I'll learn to synchronize the two, slowly but surely.

Are you finding it easy to write about your current story though? I enjoyed the excerpt immensely (and I'm about to read the second one you shared), and it seems like the type of setting that gives a heck of a lot of potential.

I agree. I'm thinking with the 'video game story' I have going, I'm just going to write out a regular story, without referring to video game mechanics and whatnot. In general, everything I write would be translated to 'video game mode' if it were every made in some strange fantasy land, but it always comes off better when it's just a story that can be read from start to finish.

And to get back to your point on dreams, I actually don't know why I didn't expand on that. Dreams are, for me as well, one of the main sources of 'inspiration' for a story. Heck, the one I'm coming up with now is based almost entirely on an idea out of a dream I had.

Cont.

Most "decent quality" ones run at about 30-50 bucks on ebay. Definitely not what I was expecting. Amazon is even more ridiculous.
But thank you~

Agreed. 12 bucks? Get outta town!

The other 2 GBA ones only gave you the arenas, and unless you played on an emulator those could be a massive risk if you get RNG screwed by an enemy and don't forfeit fast enough. Sacred stones is definitely the biggest offender, and the tower gave you so much money that the arenas weren't even needed. PoR sounds like a nice break from that. Hmm... my birthdays tomorrow, maybe I can get someone to buy one off ebay for me (preferably one that works)

And I thought I was thrifty!

That is awesome to hear, since 'divine inspiration' and everything in between is usually what jump-starts any idea that I have. There's nothing more motivating than having something brilliant pop into your head, which you can immediately start building on.

When it comes to actually writing, though, I love having music to just define the mood of the part I'm writing. As well, realizing that the options are endless is a big help. No one is controlled by a straight line from 'Part A' to 'Part B' which helps improvising parts of the story that much more. But the hardest thing for me is definitely the whole 'getting from one set piece to the next' thing, which is why I was driven to the video game format for a story :P

can get behind that my good man, only reason i'm working trouthouse job and saving every penny and still living like a pauper is so I can smurf off out of the UK myself, had enough of it. Don't really care about the rest of europe or seeing european trout, have too many british prejudices against other europeans for that. although my mother was trying to convince me to go to bogan land and work in the mines the other day and that was a laugh as well. no. not happening.
