mbarker.livejournal.comWriting Excuses 5.39: Filking and writing music with Tom Smith
From http://www.writingexcuses.com/2011/05/29/writing-excuses-5-39-filking-and-writing-music-with-tom-smith/
Key points: music is a part of world building. What is the song about? Can you imagine people singing it? Filk is the music of the science fiction and fantasy community. Filk is everywhere!
( picking and strumming )
And that's why that damn shrinkwrap
is so tough on the packages
you find in the store.
[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen. Tom Smith. Thank you, Tom, you are brilliant. Fair listener, you're out of excuses.
[Brandon] Now go sing.
