Create Vampires/Why Create Vampires

Why Create Vampires? What would happen if you woke-up one day with a horrible craving for blood? What if you woke up, then slowly realized that you were invisible, would you get dressed out of habit? What if you woke-up one day both hungry and invisible? What would you do? These are questions writers may consider when approaching fictional narratives. Stories about ghosts, angels, zombies and vampires are popular with modern readers, yet why do people write about vampires? Should you? Perhaps writing creatively about a fascinating subject is a bit of a dream. In order to first figure out what to write, some people may choose to gather together with other writing students to consider and experiment with ideas and techniques of use to other Writers. Classes that encourage creative writing, may encourage exploration of fascinating subjects, such as vampires. Exploration of unusual subjects can be rewarding to the creative spirit! Creative writing is a self-developmental process involving your creativity, using established techniques of the Writer’s craft, shaped by your level of honesty. In creative writing classes, your story is not just your creative expression, each story you make takes time to write. This is similar to a window allowing people to share in the communication process. You don’t just share common norms about spelling, grammar, or idiomatic expressions used by normal people, your story can share information about how a group of people reacted to life-altering events. Your stories can in a general sense, reflect the society and times you observe and write about. Because every writer is advised to “write what you know,” you may willingly look for safe ways to write what you know, creatively, in a non-factual manner that may not share factual information, yet will express your emotions, or will reflect the feelings of everyone. Creative writing is about telling a story in an expressive, original manner. Techniques like tone (meaning how to express the right mood), emotional intensity, or level of humor (meaning how we tell the story using the right tone to a reader who is unable to hear you, or hear the people your story will reflect), may become easier after we have developed better writing skills. Creative writing is about developing better writing skills, and about allowing honest expression, often in non-factual, creative ways. Create Vampires? In a world where people desire to make a lot of money, in the shortest amount of time. In a world where bank robbery is illegal, yet grave-robbery is not...? In a world populated by individuals who seemed ruled by greed, vampires and other monsters are sometimes spoken into some tangible, often frightening existence. If we exist in a world where characters could be spoken into existence, and allowed to linger in unusual fields bound and un-bound... If characters could linger, losing human characteristics and form, linger like ghost populating flat white spaces, if characters could attain atypical motion, yet exist like zombies without the ability to reason, or exist like demons without kindness, or exist like vampires, with constant hunger, sharing kindness with the hungry ghost who linger with desires to be fed, if such empty planes were populated by hungry, unreasoning, lingering atypical creations, mere works of the imagination, would their monster's tale be worthy of note? There are real monsters, humans who have acted inhumanely, and there are fictional monsters, characters in books who reflect real monsters. Although Writers who write about vampires from their imagination may be following their own personal creative spirit, wouldn't a richer story develop if Writers reflected the real world, culling factual details from recorded history to enhance their stories? Monsters have always existed in our modern era. They scare us, they fascinate us, they open new realities. Writing about vampires can be a way to explore the unknown, or a way to address your fears in a safe, controlled manner. Writing about vampires can be therapeutic, or a fun way to share a different cultural perspective. WARNING: Vampires of the imagination in action! Giving warnings against vampires of the imagination maybe a useful device writers could explore. Typical vampires of the imagination are not friendly characters, they seem to possess unusual traits and characteristics. In stories, most vampires are not popular, most are un-loveable and very problematic. +COMMON VAMPIRE-IMAGINATION TRAITS + CHARACTERISTICS:TraitsCharacteristicsPale / Deadly paleEnjoy isolation / Loner personalityLong fangs / Fang-ish teethPredator personalityThinAlpha Male typeBlack hair / Brown Hair"Energy Vampire" : Negativity, overly dramatic, hostile rages, complaints and sad stories.Re-animated corpse with failing body issues. Vampires of the imagination that seem to be re-animated, walking corpses, some with dominate alpha-male behaviors and sharp cuspids, could be a terror, a monster, or a walking nightmare to a town, or neighborhood. It is easy for Writers to warn their readers against such a vampire, yet what about vampires with subtle negative energy influences? What of Energy vampires and other less monster-ish vampires of the imagination? +Supernatural Vampire TraitsTraits that are supernaturalMythological CreatureImmortality Drinking blood Sunlight Poisoning Heightened senses Morphingthumb|"Le Vampire" Vampire stories found in Eastern European Folklore often warn people against evil characters, or of an evil character [the antagonist] who in a malicious manner seeks to harm innocent people. Regardless of the motive, the methods are of drugging [poisoning] the victim, which often leads to the innocent person getting buried alive, and / or having their graves robbed by grave-robbers interested in robbing the rich. Many Eastern European folk stories are warnings against grave-robbers! Some vampire traits are obviously supernatural, yet a few vampire characters possess normal traits, yet are described as displaying unusual behaviors. In 1819, John Polidore wrote The Vampyre, a fictional piece that is noted as having introduced modern fictional vampires. The Poet Rudyard Kipling wrote in his The Vampire in 1897 "To a rag and a bone and a hank of hair," it is implied that Kipling's vampire is realistic, thus mostly made up. Tip: Typically, humans have four cuspids in their mouth. Two on the bottom, and two on the top left and right side of the mouth. These are the sharpest, longest teeth, they have a pointed edge and have been called "vampire teeth" by some Writers. Question: Perhaps Juliet in William Shakespeare's play: Romeo and Juliet could be described by some people as a vampire of the imagination. Does William Shakespeare describe physical traits that would support this claim or unusual interpretation? Do the characters act in ways that may influence, or inspire, future imaginative vampire stories? TIP: Before creating a vampire character, ask yourself if you want your vampire to reflect stories based in Folklore, gathered from events that happened to actual people, or if you want your vampire to possess character traits from your imagination. Perhaps an imaginary creation with super-human abilities. Link: Create Vampires /Vam-Pai-Yer "How do you spell vampire?"
