Oh you write? That's nice

Not professionally, and not in the method you're probably thinking (paragraphs and chapters and such), but yes. I mostly do biographies on original characters I've created, though recently I've started giving one of them an official story.

Then what kind of writing?

I suppose it could best be described as a script for a play. Like, one person says something, another person says something, something happens, repeat. It sounds weird when I describe it like that, but I really can't think of any other way to explain it. I write it in that fashion because it's easier for me to do so. When I get better at it, I'll consider shifting the forms into something more conventional.

Maybe you could just keep writing scripts like that and make it into a video series.

That's what a bunch of people who've read my stuff have been saying, oddly enough. Most of them recommend me becoming a play-write, though plays aren't really on my list of interests.

From what I've seen of you so far, you don't strike me as someone to write plays.

You're very astute. The only play-type thing I've ever done in my life was when I was in my dad's choir class in high school. He was actually my teacher for a few years, which was weird. But I enjoyed it.

I thought they tried to keep kids from classes taught by their parents.

Don't remember hearing about that, but again this was back in the day. Things may have changed. And besides, it wasn't like I had a choice of choir teachers to choose from. He was the only one at that school, and unless my memory is too messed up I had to take choir regardless.

Why keep 'em out?

Back when they were teaching us about the bees and honey at school our ordinary teacher got sick and the only temporary teacher they could find was also the father to one of my classmates.
That must have felt a bit awkward.

My first thought is that some teachers with kids in their own class may use their position to deliberately ensure their child excels. Giving them undeserved A's and such. Though maybe that's just the conspiracy nut in me.

Regardless of whether or not they're true, I can assure you that my dad never once believed or practiced it.

It doesn't sound that unlikely to happen, so it's understandable.

I wonder if a chess thread would work?
