Do you still write plays?

Nina Wright - Novelist - FAQs
These days I'm concentrating on my fiction. But I still take notes for plays I hope to write. Making stories for the stage is a unique thrill—a lively and noisy collaborative process. I became the writer I am by first working as an actor, playwright and director. Those experiences taught me about plotting, pacing, character development, dialogue and sensory impact.

Question. What did Nostradamus write?

Nostradamus FAQs
Answer. Apart from his professional works (in which no one is really interested) he produced a number of prophetic works. We discern between the Centuries and the Prognostications. The Prognostications are like an Almanac. They contain a series of Predictions about the next year. Because these predictions were fulfilled (or not) more than 440 years ago few are interested in them. The really interesting stuff is the Centuries. See similar questions...

The composition process was most often separate in the physical sense, especially in the early stages of a song. But almost each song underwent a metamorphosis in the recording studio, when John and Paul would give each other "helpful" suggestions on completing a tune. Sometimes one or the other was stuck for an eight-bar middle, or a guitar riff, and the other would fill in. See similar questions...

How Did You Write It?

Semisonic - The Official Website
Dan: I thought of the first verse of Closing Time pretty much all at once while playing the guitar. The chorus too (it's only one line). I was trying to write a song for the end of our sets, to say, "Goodnight, get out, we love you but we're done," to the fans. But it turned into something else, the first verse about times I've been in a bar at the end of the night trying to get up the courage to talk to a woman. See similar questions...
