We’re chatting about Halloween costumes, childhood toys, and how it ties to our writing today. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:31:33 +0000 2012)LeahPetersen: @BryanThomasS I do know that I spent more of my life being someone else in my head than I’ve spent being myself. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:31:51 +0000 2012)Wyld_Dandelyon: @LeahPetersen Did you dress up or live as a character in your imagination some other time? #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:31:59 +0000 2012)Jaleta_Clegg: #sffwrtcht I was more influenced by movies and books with great stories than by toys or costumes. I wanted to be Zorro, and Han Solo, and… (Thu Oct 25 01:32:50 +0000 2012)Wyld_Dandelyon: @LeahPetersen I’m thinking that our experiences of “let’s pretend” in childhood taught us-or could teach us-about storytelling. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:33:24 +0000 2012)LeahPetersen: Just tonight I rode my white (red) horse, (Ford Focus) to rescue my brother from a dragon (deer that hit his car.) #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:33:28 +0000 2012)LeahPetersen: Always.

(Book) #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:34:24 +0000 2012)Wyld_Dandelyon: Halloween, for me, was also special because I could venture into a mysterious time (night) and see the world differently. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:34:44 +0000 2012)BryanThomasS: @Wyld_Dandelyon Well learning how to improvise and make up coherent stories and characters has to have been of benefit. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:35:02 +0000 2012)BryanThomasS: @Jaleta_Clegg Grilled, in my macaroni, on my sandwiches, a little in omelets and salad, not so much in my movies #sffwrtcht #cheese (Thu Oct 25 01:35:44 +0000 2012)shadowflame1974: @Wyld_Dandelyon also learned that a story can take a long time, and learn to enjoy taking the time to create it. #Sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:36:03 +0000 2012)BryanThomasS: @MorlockP Don’t know that it did. We were so busy chatting, not sure if people had time to even look. It just seemed disconnected #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:36:52 +0000 2012)
MariAdkins: @Wyld_Dandelyon right on!! halloween taught me to love the darkness and what lives in it. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:37:32 +0000 2012)BryanThomasS: @shadowflame1974 I learned that I needed my stupid friends to shut up and let me do the storytelling damn it. #toomuchchaos #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:37:47 +0000 2012)LeahPetersen: @BryanThomasS Better!

Funny. Related if you find yourself writing about mad/nutty scientists? #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:41:57 +0000 2012)kodermike: @BryanThomasS But cheese is part and parcel with the genre, isn’t it? Writing fantasy is @ knowing what cheese to spread, etc #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:42:31 +0000 2012)

Interesting insight into diff approaches (Thu Oct 25 01:47:33 +0000 2012)LeahPetersen: @Jaleta_Clegg I don’t even know what that means but it sounds cool! (Am I ruining my geek cred?) #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:48:08 +0000 2012)Jaleta_Clegg: @LeahPetersen He’s done it at a lot of cons, he DMs a session over breakfast with 100 players, all die within three hours. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:49:15 +0000 2012)BryanThomasS: @LeahPetersen @Jaleta_Clegg What geek cred? #watchesitflyaway #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:49:42 +0000 2012)Jaleta_Clegg: @Wyld_Dandelyon I love the cheesy movies/stories because they are fun, not dark gritty serious. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:50:01 +0000 2012)kodermike: @Wyld_Dandelyon Oh, you know, fate of the world in the balance, good vs evil – classic, aged cheese #sffwrtcht Hmmm…cheese == cliche too 
(Thu Oct 25 01:50:07 +0000 2012)BryanThomasS: @MorlockP Yeah I never tend to address sartorial concerns much unless it’s relevant to plot either #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:50:08 +0000 2012)Jaleta_Clegg: @kodermike Now I want blue cheese and swiss and some really aged Irish cheddar. Curse you, lactose intolerance! #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:50:52 +0000 2012)shadowflame1974: @Jaleta_Clegg Ohhh sounds like so much fun! #Sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:50:52 +0000 2012)Jaleta_Clegg: @shadowflame1974 I’ve never played but I’ve listened in. It’s hilarious. #Sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:51:25 +0000 2012)LeahPetersen: @Jaleta_Clegg If I last three hours I’ll be floored. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:51:39 +0000 2012)MorlockP: @BryanThomasS #sffwrtcht I think people wear one of three things in my novel: space suit, uniform, or not mentioned. (Thu Oct 25 01:51:40 +0000 2012)Wyld_Dandelyon: @kodermike There’s only so many story-skeletons–but when properly clothed in flesh (and costume), each one is unique. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:52:22 +0000 2012)LeahPetersen: .@MorlockP Just imagine everyone naked by default. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:52:34 +0000 2012)kodermike: @Jaleta_Clegg This is how I work. Making you want the things you can’t have, then flaunting them, like a nice brie….mmmmm….#sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:52:56 +0000 2012)
GilgameshPoet: RT @LeahPetersen: .@MorlockP Just imagine everyone naked by default. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:53:28 +0000 2012)chippermuse: @Jaleta_Clegg Oh, bummer. Idk what I’d do if I couldn’t eat cheese. #Italiansandcheesegohandinhand #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:53:36 +0000 2012)Jaleta_Clegg: @kodermike I’ll just write it into my next book. Food is important, to the author and the storyline. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:53:52 +0000 2012)Jaleta_Clegg: @chippermuse I substitute chocolate when possible. #notonpizza #Italiansandcheesegohandinhand #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:54:25 +0000 2012)BryanThomasS: @LeahPetersen @MorlockP Yes. It’s appropriate. Since I write naked. #sffwrtcht #mysteriouseyebrowmove (Thu Oct 25 01:54:28 +0000 2012)shadowflame1974: @Jaleta_Clegg I’ve played once was great fun #Sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:54:37 +0000 2012)Wyld_Dandelyon: @MorlockP People wear clothes as communication (like uniforms/suits) but also as self-expression. Picking a costume is personal. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:54:55 +0000 2012)PrinceJvstin: Um, what was tonight’s topic anyway? I’m lost on movies, cheese and now chocolate #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:55:00 +0000 2012)Jaleta_Clegg: Ack! TMI! RT @BryanThomasS: @LeahPetersen @MorlockP Yes. It’s appropriate.

You’re right there. LOL! #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:55:38 +0000 2012)Jaleta_Clegg: @chippermuse Except dessert s’more pizza. #wipesdrool #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:55:57 +0000 2012)Wyld_Dandelyon: @PrinceJvstin Tonight we entered the great world of the imagination. Imagined sensory delights (ahhh, chocolate) fit right in. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:56:14 +0000 2012)Jaleta_Clegg: @Wyld_Dandelyon If you can imagine it, you can write about it. #sffwrtcht(Thu Oct 25 01:56:48 +0000 2012)shadowflame1974: @chippermuse @Jaleta_Clegg unless it is a desert pizza #Sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:56:52 +0000 2012)chippermuse: @BryanThomasS And we’re back to stripping? #notagain LOL. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:57:00 +0000 2012)Jaleta_Clegg: I finished stripping a month ago, still need to finish painting. RT @chippermuse: @BryanThomasS And we’re back to stripping? #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:57:53 +0000 2012)BryanThomasS: @chippermuse @shadowflame1974 Yeah but I totally wear wings. #sffwrtcht HA! (Thu Oct 25 01:58:04 +0000 2012)Wyld_Dandelyon: I think Halloween wanderings taught me the importance of an intense experience to finding an adventure satisfying. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:58:27 +0000 2012)shadowflame1974: @Wyld_Dandelyon I spent many days in the woods behind our house. Lots of adventures there #Sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:59:07 +0000 2012)chippermuse: @shadowflame1974 @Jaleta_Clegg I’ve yet to have a dessert pizza I like. Smores could do it. I need suggestions where to eat! #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:59:13 +0000 2012)MorlockP: @Wyld_Dandelyon “Picking a costume is personal.” #sffwrtcht 100% agreed; this is on my list of writing things to improve on! (Thu Oct 25 01:59:30 +0000 2012)Wyld_Dandelyon: @Jaleta_Clegg I once told a caller that my mother was stripping in the living room; my father advised me to say “stripping wood”! #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:59:46 +0000 2012)Jaleta_Clegg: @shadowflame1974 We had an orchard across the street – tall grass perfect for trails, a ditch for wading, dirt trails. heaven. #Sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:59:54 +0000 2012)BryanThomasS: #sffwrtcht @Jaleta_Clegg @shadowflame1974 @LeahPetersen @MorlockP Writing Instructr told me “write naked” Strip away all history/pretensions (Thu Oct 25 01:59:54 +0000 2012)chippermuse: @Jaleta_Clegg Good one. Nip that meme in the bud before we go there again. #notagain @BryanThomasS #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 01:59:54 +0000 2012)BryanThomasS: @chippermuse @shadowflame1974 @MorlockP @Jaleta_Clegg Which frankly is NOT bad advice #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 02:00:14 +0000 2012)shadowflame1974: @BryanThomasS *pretends she hears nothing about not being clothed #Sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 02:00:31 +0000 2012)Jaleta_Clegg: @BryanThomasS Unless you have lots of teenage sons in the house. #embarrassing #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 02:01:02 +0000 2012)Wyld_Dandelyon: @Jaleta_Clegg (My mom was very picky about how her windows should look!) #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 02:01:19 +0000 2012)Jaleta_Clegg: @Wyld_Dandelyon I was stripping wallpaper. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 02:01:38 +0000 2012)Jaleta_Clegg: #sffwrtcht To paraphrase Sam the Eagle, underneath all of our clothes, we are completely nekkid. (Thu Oct 25 02:02:12 +0000 2012)Jaleta_Clegg: #sffwrtcht On to costuming – I’ve done costume design for my work for quite a few years. It really can make or break a character. (Thu Oct 25 02:02:49 +0000 2012)Wyld_Dandelyon: @Jaleta_Clegg She didn’t like painted wood–especially not 2-dozen sloppy layers! #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 02:02:49 +0000 2012)shadowflame1974: Sorry all but I have to head to bed. Great conversation tonight @Wyld_Dandelyon 5:30 comes way to early around here Night all #Sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 02:03:12 +0000 2012)BryanThomasS: @Jaleta_Clegg You stripping yourself is one thing but forcing it on wallpaper, that’s just bullying #sffwrtcht #forshame (Thu Oct 25 02:03:23 +0000 2012)PrinceJvstin: @shadowflame1974 me too, alas. Good night all. #sffwrtcht. (Thu Oct 25 02:03:31 +0000 2012)Wyld_Dandelyon: @shadowflame1974 5:30! Ewwwww! Thanks for chatting! #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 02:03:52 +0000 2012)Jaleta_Clegg: @BryanThomasS Yep, I bully my house into shape.

Still have two in grade school that need sleep. #Sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 02:05:26 +0000 2012)chippermuse: @Jaleta_Clegg I bet it’s helped you in thinking clothing choices for your characters. We need to have you chat about it here. #sffwrtcht (Thu Oct 25 02:05:29 +0000 2012)Wyld_Dandelyon: Thanks, everyone, for joining me!
