From Blueprints To Global Engagement!
Hio folks, today I will try to clear up the uncertainty that comes with creativity and creative writing and try to put a stone for future inquiries. It’s true that having created global engagement in terms of bringing my projects to life there also comes evaluation, judgements and how tos in terms of being effective and reliable. For those of you that have read my previous comments in terms of how the writer gets chemistry with his characters, how these people face the consequences of their actions and how all that are being projected on a piece of paper function, there comes writer’s mentality. When we actually portray characters and characters’ profiles in a piece of art, e.g. the actor Joel, many things go beyond writing.
It’s not mere expertise of how to write a script. It’s how the writer’s brain works with performing arts. It’s his fantasies and his experiences with the characters. It’s how you set them up in front of you, like Kavafis says in Ithaca! It’s what you hope you will accomplish with an alter ego… Why should an artist be a God? Beginner’s mind with minimal education using photos and videos… Are all artists Gods? Of course not. Do I offer absolution (άφεση αμαρτιών)? Of course not, neither should a writer do. Does art offer absolution? No. Someone has to learn to blueprint characters they’re not the princes of the fairytale.
Especially on this last comment there comes the experience of the web. Stephen King in his book “On Writing, A Memoir of the Craft” explains in written word both the yeses and the noes in writing, but you have to see written both to have solid experience. That’s the writer’s primitive marketing experience in the internet. Furthermore, books sometimes touch aspects of our cosmotheory, it’s our brain on how should a few people act. Hence, well trained analysts and judges have the ability to know very well on what is the front, the showcase and the back, the behind of a writer’s work. If there’s bad philosophy, if there’s rage and anger, if exactly like Rose in Titanic, everything from the outside is being envisioned as a super-power and inside of you there’s plenty of boiling and screaming, they have the capacity to understand that…!
If how you portray an artist means you want to give an idealistic dimension to art thinking you belong there and nothing else matters, again, this can be diagnosed as well. Consequences matter, obstacles into someone’s pathway matter as well, absolution is only for the Messiah and God… But mainly, even if somebody’s mind works perfectly and knows what it means to write outside the sphere of a book, one of the most difficult practices meaning to show and not tell, means he may not know how to put all the above notions on paper. Because you don’t write to a book about absolution instead you have to show it, meaning we have to work with messages and subtext…
For those of you that would like to have a taste of my books, blueprints that made me seek help from human resources in Greece, UK, USA, Hollywood, the worldwide web, etc, to bring them to life, you can view my already attached in this article books at IAN, The Independent Authors Network.

Writers & The Importance Of Ecumenism!
It all starts by Man’s quest for singularity, this everything is one problem that makes writing effective and ineffective as well. As writers have many times proved we are children of the universe, characterization is a better term for this problem. Characterization has to do with the authenticity and the uniqueness of man and his voice. Just pay a little detail to what Aaron Sorkin in his masterclass had described as dialogue. You take what someone has told you and you punch it into somebody’s face! What it means, if an advice has been given to an actor, a real one and you still write a script about actors, it’s more probable the advice would be suitable although it has to fit. Nevertheless, the argument is not as ‘fluffy’ when it is directed to different personas. Or maybe it is? Characters and stars in writing have been our avatars in parallel universes, a little bit of chemistry between the writer and his characters is important. But this is not the end of it. How long does this effect last? Here comes my point of being not singular, often coming with no personal cost even though oftentimes struggling for being multidimensional. This is where more severe measures have to be applied. “Et tu, Brutus?”
Recently after coming to super-power, Julius Caesar was assassinated as a Roman dictator. Although sources suggest that the historic Caesar adapted the words of a Greek sentence actually saying: "You too, my son, will have a taste of power", of which Caesar only needed to invoke the opening words to foreshadow Brutus’ own violent death, in response to his assassination. What could it mean? When it deals with characters, writing and screenplays, the art of learning to say no to our characters’ superfluous desires is a must. Even worse, reject them. By this and that you may have come to the conclusion that this unexpected betrayal thing of Brutus, makes the writer learn to say yes and no and sometimes shape the script before being shaped otherwise. Shaping and transforming for better or worse is a leadership attribute. So, here is where everything starts to be put into place! Leadership and ecumenism can work alongside one another and bringing back to memory the writer’s art, that can be 100 years old even though his craft might still be a little baby, fearing what to say directly is a bad counselor. Even more, when it blocks the writer by getting things done and getting wild success through his/her writing. For those of you that would like to get a taste of my work, visit IAN, The Independent Authors Network. It portrays the books already being attached in this article.

The Before & After Of Creative Decisions!
The artistic cover of the hardcover of Alice in Wonderland, describes a dialogue of her with the cat, at what we Greeks say the ear of the book: “But I don’t want to get baffled with lunatics” said Alice. “Uh oh, but you can’t avoid that” said the cat. “We’re all lunatics here”. One of the problems of solid writing is when your intellectual child gets full of messages and no theme at all. The best way to battle it is getting past coincidences, non-linear time and unstable realities and rather more chaotic writing, that is what Robert McKee names anti-plot! Getting more familiar with structure, plot and characters lays the reality that example is leadership. Writers who got past biographical writing and perhaps Osama Bin Laden as well, have been entangled to the inexhaustible reality of myths. Can a myth be more than a type of story if compared to fantasy that contradicts reality? Of course it can! It’s all about being real with being similar. What’s the difference? Bearing in mind that art is always a reflection, a mirror of our culture, differences are underlined by a specific spacetime, with specific meanings, with specific characters, at a specific time frame, where the process of personalizing the messages of the writer is a whole different reality. It can be something totally irrelevant. The before and after of creative decisions deals first of all with getting pieces of art right and then passing through the small form towards the big form!
Envisioning the Movie Dimension of my Fairytales!
The Art & Science Of Fantasy Writing!
Where have you gone to, dreamer? Whose dreams are you dreaming now? I’ve memorized this quote from an epic fantasy game, known to many of you as Dreamfall. The edition included game over options and it seemed quite uncomfortable for me to play it back then, even though it couldn’t run properly. Perhaps I should now watch it as a movie in YouTube to get the complete perspective! What am I talking about? About the importance for creatives following their own dreams, listening their own voices and not somebody else’s. Journeying the creative spirit sometimes blocks us in mammoth problems that test our ideas on group norms, socializing, leadership or proper behavior. But this is the general mindset now applied in creative writing.
Crafting a story on what you do, why you do it, how you do it and where do you think it will take you, is important to get freed from dogma at somewhere around the middle of the journey. But then you seem haunted by another reality: kickstart, middle part and end of story. Fiction literature is influential enough to make our imaginations hatch through the power of imagery, wannabe robust writing and vocabulary, plot and taste. Imagery is all about imaginative language with pictures, sometimes intended to uplift our minds to the spiritual. There are five main types of imagery, each related to one of the human senses: Visual imagery (sight), Auditory imagery (hearing), Olfactory imagery (smell), Gustatory imagery (taste), Tactile imagery (touch) plus another two: Kinesthetic and Organic.
Kinesthetic has to do with the entire, complete, full sense of experiencing a project whereas organic has to do with all parts, schemes and canons of written word embraced in a script as a whole, an organism in other words. Nevertheless, besides specialized analysis we all acknowledge that the power of the image in our century has been tremendous, huge. First of all, sight could be addressed to the mesmerizing descriptions of how we envision a world, how can a universe be created by music, how The Battle of Hogwarts begins. Hearing is all about dialogue, noise, explosions, etc. Smell and taste become somewhat detailed descriptions of the exact action. And touch does not refer to The Untouchables but becoming tangible e.g. with objects or artifacts.
Let’s now get to some bare facts related with fantasy. Facts, contrary to fantasy have to do with all these allegories, messages in a script, parallel realities, experiences of the writer in the real world that show us that fairytales may not be that fairytales after all, moving on with irony, distortion or just criticism of what happened. Epic fairytales have dealt as well with the issue of death and resurrection, issues of temptations that couldn’t be more dramatic nowadays, the issue of betrayal, relationship issues or plain portrayal of one problem solving. So, the writer obviously asks: How am I supposed to find my true and unique voice in all the above? The answer, for me at least, couldn’t be simpler: Exposition.
Nevertheless, this isn’t a one size fits all solution nor you are obliged to follow it. Exposition to scripts and content, exposition with education, exposition with creative experimentation, exposition with arts and sciences, exposition with technology, exposition with argumentations, exposition to business, have all been extremely strong experiences for me that led me to venture with writing and screenwriting. As I have stated above it’s all about the kinesthetic you, that differs from one person to another! It’s all about not fearing to get crushed. So, how can all the above be integrated to fantasy stories? Making choices, choosing sides, creating, laughing and crying with your writing, getting organized at some point, will probably make the wish come true.
For me, it has been an amazing experience that I would like to share with you. So, I will motivate you to navigate my Independent Authors Network page I created a little while ago. You can see my books already attached in this article, here’s the link: bit.ly/39chSSQ

Screenplays & The Lionized Work Of Analysis!
The issue of writing a book addressing low budget movies, let's say 100K-150K, meaning companies all over USA and not just Hollywood, is the issue of the expertise of readers who know about universal criteria of who makes it. Additionally, being pedantic and considering working notes to be helpful in numerous categories related with the screenplay, such as Character, Plot, Structure, Dialogue, and Concept Analysis, issues of voice, qualitative scores, the analyst's bio, etc is what makes me seek low cost and the best popular service. That if it's about to be done more than once I won't get drowned by standards. Furthermore, continuous improvement and not dead-end judgements is the issue. The issue of my published work, that you can see attached in this article and of course, my current creativity since I decided to think exponentially and create more of it.
Creative Writing Intellectual Motivation: From Cosmic Telegrams to Perspective!
Oscars & The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of!
Dear friends, this is a creative period for me where I will have to think completely differently in terms of my traditional presence in social media. The subject of this concern is correlated with creating more books. From the mere creative point of view, I would write the next book, out of 3 or 4 in general at a logical time frame. But if there's ambition and expectations from me related with writing and screenwriting, then things change...! Primitive copyright of something only God can make an outline (many thanks to my consultant, Laurie Lamson), makes me talk about "Krista's Instinct". Bearing in mind my artistic concerns, an artist and a computer scientist and multimedia creator found in the middle of an artistic whirlwind, that is Krista, proves it can be a character of Oscaric history. Later on, including the story with Emily Logan, I will be engaged in pitching video materials entitled '"Why me" as the writer'. Obviously talking about my personal connection to the stories, how I got the ideas and what's my expertise on the topics. That's why it is important for me to align on the true standards of such performances. Below follows a description of the Oscar Statuette found at the website of the Oscars Academy! Enjoy it!
THE MOST RECOGNIZED TROPHY IN THE WORLD, THE OSCAR STATUETTE HAS STOOD ON THE MANTELS OF THE GREATEST FILMMAKERS IN HISTORY SINCE 1929.
Shortly after the formation of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1927, the fledgling organization held a dinner in the Crystal Ballroom of the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles to set out its goals. Among the topics discussed that night was how best to honor outstanding moviemaking achievements and thereby encourage excellence in all facets of motion picture production.
Agreeing to institute an annual award, the group turned its attention to creating a suitably majestic trophy. MGM art director Cedric Gibbons designed a statuette of a knight standing on a reel of film gripping a crusader’s sword. The Academy tapped Los Angeles sculptor George Stanley to realize the design in three dimensions – and the world-renowned statuette was born.
A KNIGHT CALLED OSCAR
Since the initial awards banquet on May 16, 1929, in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel’s Blossom Room, more than 3,000 statuettes have been presented. Each January, additional new golden statuettes are cast by Polich Tallix fine art foundry in New York’s Hudson Valley.
Oscar stands 13½ inches tall and weighs in at a robust 8½ pounds. The film reel features five spokes, signifying the five original branches of the Academy: actors, directors, producers, technicians and writers. Although the statuette remains true to its original design, the size of the base varied until 1945, when the current standard was adopted.
Officially named the Academy Award of Merit, the statuette is better known by its nickname, Oscar. While the origins of the moniker aren’t clear, a popular story has it that upon seeing the trophy for the first time, Academy librarian (and eventual executive director) Margaret Herrick remarked that it resembled her Uncle Oscar. The Academy didn’t adopt the nickname officially until 1939, but it was widely known enough by 1934 that Hollywood columnist Sidney Skolsky used it in a piece referring to Katharine Hepburn’s first Best Actress win.
THE STUFF THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF
The statuettes are solid bronze and plated in 24-karat gold. Due to a metal shortage during World War II, Oscars were made of painted plaster for three years. Following the war, the Academy invited recipients to redeem the plaster figures for gold-plated metal ones.
Achievements in up to 25 regular categories will be honored on February 24, 2019, at the 91th Academy Awards presentation at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center. However, the Academy won’t know how many statuettes it will hand out until the envelopes are opened on Oscar Night. Although the number of categories are known in advance, the possibility of ties and of multiple recipients sharing the prize in some categories makes it impossible to predict the exact number of statuettes to be awarded. As in previous years, any surplus awards will be housed in the Academy’s vault until next year’s event.
More than 80 years after that auspicious gathering in Hollywood, Oscar’s success as a symbol of filmmaking achievement would probably amaze those who attended the dinner, as it would its designer, Cedric Gibbons.
