Writing Vocally
I have to made a podcast/netcast for October 27 in one of my classes; since my laptop has a built-in microphone it's not a problem, and I figured I would get in some speech recording/audio editing practice for it by sort of writing a fic out loud.
It's surprisingly hard and I don't know why. I would get midway through a sentence and stop, I would change my mind, I would "umm..." for long awkward moments, and eventually I would just trail off into embarrassed, awkward silence. You would think I couldn't... write.
And I'm thinking about it. I always have a very clear image in my head. Right now I have a very clear image, so clear that if I had artistic skillz I could illustrate it as a still-shot: a slightly spoiled blood elf woman who is at the beach sunbathing when she discovers in a startling way that her equally bratty friends have decided to play a prank on her by hooking her up with a troll.This is not at all a result of me thinking too much about expansion RP.
I can write it. I know exactly what words to describe it and how it will play out in prose. My fingers are itching to type it.
But for some reason when I try and speak them out loud, those words vanish. There is a mental route from my imagination through my fingers, but attempting to detour it to my mouth -- it doesn't work the same way. There is a stumbling block that causes those words to emerge much slowly and less eloquently when I try and narrate prose out loud. Why is that, I wonder? Anyone else have any experience with this?
I wonder if he would saw off his tusks if they fall in love and she really wanted to be able to kiss him without goring herself.
