Team Hope congratulations! I'm so happy and proud of all you guys, even for those who did not make it to this round. I still love you guys lol.
Okay back to liriko LOL, sa totoo lang wala akong masabi. I can't say na goodluck or break-a-leg kasi I know na hindi niyo naman kelangan yun. You guys are all creative writers, that's why you're here. Kung may haters man kayo, well okay lang yan just be thankful kasi nano-notice kayo nila. Katulad nga ng kasabihan, pag binato ka ng bato (bashes) then batuhin mo sila ng tinapay (gratefulness).
I can't tell you to do your best, kasi choice niyo yan kung hanggang saang effort ang ieexert niyo. I mean malalaki naman na tayong lahat dito diba, diba?
Also, I can't tell you na wag kabahan, dahil matakot dapat kayo! de joke lang lol, siempre chill lang and have fun! This a friendly contest kaya no pressure kayo dapat, just have fun!
Maybe ang isa ko lang ia-advice is to never give up. I understand na sometimes we can be in a state of writer's block or we're down or someone/something has been discouraging us. But people, I know you are stronger than that. You can do this! Talk to me :)
Anyways for those who needs my help just pm me, I'm always here naman! Lovelots and Godbless <3 (ps: pm me my team, i wanna hear from you)
THEME: Forgiveness and Second Chances
- People say that it's hard to forgive and give away another chance. And I say, yes it surely is difficult to do that. Now, I want to challenge you my enthusiastic liriko players to write about a story that illustrates the wonder of forgiveness and second chances in a very unique way. Now usually in writing, when we say forgiveness and second chances, we think that it is about romance or someone's love story but I want you to change that thinking. This time I want you to think of a unique genre to show this kind of theme. It can be Medieval or Historical, Dystopian or Apocalyptical, Mystery or Fantasy, Action or Adventure, Humour or General Fiction, Spiritual or Biblical, Familial or Friendships. You choose. You can talk about forgiving someone, yourslef or even your society. You can still include the Romance since it couldn't be helped but I want you to focus on another genre this time. I want to see how you play with the story. Challenge yourself. If you need guidance and help, I'm always here anyway! Break a leg #teamHope. Lovelots and Godbless <3 (ps: most of the songs that i gave you guys are mostly Christian songs. It may not be obvious but it is. ;)
SONG #1: Hold Me Together by Royal Tailor
- This song talks about someone who has been searching for something or someone to hold on to. S/he has been looking for a second chance and mercy. My suggestion is try to think of a story where the people in a society, especially the protagonist, are looking for a new hope and mercy that could save their falling lives.
SONG #2: Get Back Up by Toby Mac
PICKED BY: forfatter
-Is about someone who is encouraging his or her friend that s/he still has a second chance. That everything is not too late. that s/he may be bent but not broken. That everything can still be fixed and it's not too late to change the damaged that has been done. My suggestion is for you to add a twist on why that friend has been encouraging his/her broken friend to get back up. What is the real reason behind it? Is it just for him or her to have a second chance or is it also for something else?
SONG #3: It's Your Life by Francesca Battistelli
PICKED BY: MissSayuri
- This song focuses on second chances. Are you gonna risk your life to achieve a better world or are you just gonna stay in your comfort zone and see everything fall apart? You decide, after all, it's your life. In my suggestion, try to play with how you will use your life to aim this second chance not only for yourself but for the people you love in your society.
SONG #4: Nightingale by Demi Lovato
PICKED BY: EGStryker
-Have you ever had a moment when you try to look for something but couldn't find it? Well, this song, talks about someone who is trying to look for his/her second chance but is having a hard time looking for that Nightinggale(chance). For my suggestion, try thinking in the protagonist's POV. How will you realize that you are the nightingale of yourself and of the people around you? When will you finally accept that you will be the reason of everyon's second chance in your own world.
SONG #5: Ready or Not by Britt Nicole
- Now this one is unique. The protagonist was striving to achive that second chance. She was once afraid. She was once scared. But now she has decided to fight. Will it be worth it? Will s/he make it? My suggestion: play with your imagination and genre. I know this will be a challenge but once you hit the right plot then you'll surely nail it.
SONG #6: Warrior by Demi Lovato
PICKED BY: MaskedDreams1
-This one is a bit interesting. This specific person is the second chance of everyone. But s/he has been hiding it and so no one knows about it because she was so heartbroken from her the past. She was hurt and shattered that is why she thinks that she could never stand up again although s/he is the warrior that everyone has been waiting for. My suggestions is to play with your imagination and creative mind. Let it carry your thoughts away.
SONG #7: Hold me by Jaime Grace ft. Toby Mac
PICKED BY: ThatsMyMstch
-This song is about someone who has found her second chance in God. Let's assume that she was a broken and wrecked person in the past, who needed mercy, grace and forgiveness, and she found that in God. He was the one who gave her that chance to start anew and bring out the best in her. In my suggestoin, I think you should start by writing her past and build up from there.
SONG #8: Blessings by Laura Story
PICKED BY: MissHeartBreaker18
-Now this is a Christian song obviously, and like what the song said "What if your blessing come through raindrops, tears, a thousand sleepless nights, and What if trials of this life is His mercies in disguise?" What if all the things that you have suffered from are actually the things that will help you grow and teach others how to stand back up again and grab your second chance. Will you be able to forgive the people who have hurted you? Would you be able to forgive? Remeber, you can never be able to move on and start a new life peacefully without letting all your hatreds go. In my suggestion, try to relate to it if you can :) Be optimistic and positive from your past experiences.
Lovelots and Godbless! #TeamHope ~
