Family Annoys the hell out of musicians hard at work
To be a musician, one must be able to express themselves and be able to work on music whenever they are inspired. I consider myself a musician, even though I am not yet out of highschool. It is very annoying when school or a parent get in the way of music, in fact it pisses me off. One example I vividly remember was the week after the midyears my Junior year, my band The Velvet Vixen Ninja Team, had some demos they wanted me to come up with a bass line for. That day also happened to be one of the many days my father was annoyed about something, and while I was taking a small break from homework to work on the song he decided to come in. The first thing he said is something I would wrather not repeat, he stormed over yelling about how I should not take breaks, that he didn't care what my teachers recommend that I do, 'this was his house with his rules!' Well 'your' rules piss me off... sorry I got a bit off topic, anyways, he decided to erase what I had done on the song, and he continued to yell for quite some while afterward. call me crazy but in my opinion it's hard to be a musician when your prohibited from making music because of a stupid thing like that, I had only taken a 5 minute break after all.

You have the core incident of a story here, but, to make it into a real story, you need to think about how you can tell it to make it more engaging. For starters, how about some paragraphing? and a bit more dialogue? and some context and background details? It's an interesting episode, but you've not yet figured out how to tell it as a story so as to make it all that engaging. Keep playing with this!
ReplyDeleteInteresting story form. I kind of feel like you are telling the story directly to me, and that is pretty cool.
ReplyDeletethanks, I actually had just written this after being interrupted while working on a song
ReplyDeletei think you need some dialogue to make it seem like more of a story
