Alyssa Mitchell right i have never really had an idol before i listened to hamilton then became obsessed then i discovered this dude and im like "holy shit this dude is amazing"
He's just like Hamilton. Writing like he's running out of time. Never taking a break. But, my question is, what if your friend is not always there? Like, what if they get hurt by chance and you were too busy to hang out with them one last time? I feel like there needs to be a balance between those you love and your work. Remember that summer Hamilton didn't go upstate with his family?
yes ofcourse life isnt all work, thats why lin was already on his way to a party meaning he does have fun at the same time. what he meant is sometimes you just cant go cause you got to work or you were suddenly inspired, but that doesnt mean locking yourself up forever. i guess i can relate cause i can get inspired out of nowhere and leave whatever im doing to write it down, though that doeasnt mean i stay at home for weeks to write a good poem.
I want to meet him so bad, he is such an inspiration, I am literally crying right now, surprising how a 14 year old wishes she can meet someone she'll probably never be able to meet
That actually means so much. A work means as much to the reader as it does the writer, and if you don't care enough to give it everything you have, why should they give anything to your story?
about a week ago I was at a conference and someone asked us if anyone had a dream and my instant thought was "I wanna be Lin-Manuel Miranda when I grow up". Instead I said I wanted to write a musical and star in it, but it's the same thing xD
Imagine Aaron Burr’s ghost whispering the chorus of “Wait for it” in Lin’s ear a couple of years ago... actually IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE FEATURED IN THE SHOW COMIMG DOWN FROM HEAVEN *ONLY* TO HELP LIN WRITE HAMILTON
Hi. My name is Niurka, and I have a friend named Arianna. We are 13, both in seventh grade, and we both look up to Lin-Manuel Miranda. I remember one day in math class Arianna was humming "Alexander Hamilton," and I was all like "what the hell are you humming?" She turned around and said, "the best musical in the world." I wasn't much of a musical fan back then. I was a book nerd. I was obsessed with the Partials series, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, etc. I rolled my eyes and just brushed it off, until I felt a nagging feeling on the back of my head. It was like it was driving me to Hamilton, telling me to look it up. Well, that night, I picked up my computer and searched it up...and what I found made me rethink everything. I stayed up until 4 in the morning listening and repeating the whole soundtrack until I was satisfied that I knew every lyrics, rhythm, and emotion of every song. The next day I walk up to Arianna and yelled, "JUST YOU WAIT." She even teared up, the smile on her face when she heard me say that made my whole heart skip a beat. The whole day we sang every song, danced every dance, rapped every rap until we were sure our teachers had enough of it. When we heard Lin was going to be writing songs for Moana, Arianna begged her choir teacher to let them sing some of the songs. When I heard my band director was planning on letting us give him some song suggestions for the spring concert, I even offered to PAY him to let us play "Alexander Hamilton," even if we couldn't play it correctly. He denied, but that didn't stop me. The choir teacher agreed on singing "How Far I'll Go," and by that time the Talent Show was going on, so Arianna and I decided on learning the song to enter together for the show. I played my clarinet while she sang, and we both won second place. The bond between us and Hamilton grew stronger. A couple weeks later, we heard that Hamilton was coming to Houston in 2018. We were so excited, until we found out that even one ticket for one of us would cost us more money than a new top-notch, upgraded laptop. We both were finding ways of getting enough money that we started a fundraiser in our school. We called it "Funds for the HamFam." We sold candy, old necklaces, even some homemade baked goods, but we only raised up about 126 out of 1,500. We're even considering entering some online writing and poem competitions in order to raise up enough money. We won't give up until we feel the texture of the tickets in our hands. I wrote all this because I just wanted to let you guys know how much Hamilton means to us. Hell, we'll cut off our left hands just to make eye contact with Lin. 😂
its true its hard to maintain that energy and motivation that comes along with a brilliant idea..sometimes you just have to sacrifice a party and other fun things to work on that because if you put it on hold it will never be the same..
He does stuff like that and has all this determination while I'm here like 'Ya I basically just wanna live my life'. Why can't I be awesome like him? Why can't I have goals and achieve them?
I love listening to Lin so much, he is so inspirational and even when I just listen to the musical soundtrack it makes me want to keep going and not give up :) and I totally understand what he means, so many tmes I have gotten out of bed in the middle of the night just to write down ideas that kept popping up in my head haha
I remember seeing this man on electric factory. I didn't have success to the internet then but when I got the chance, I learned how brilliant he is. Amazing.
I really needed to hear that. I'm writing a musical (adapting actually) and this helped me soooo much. He's incredible, as an artist and as a person. Thank you Lin Manuel Miranda ❤️✨
Friends at the party that invited him: Hey thanks for coming! Lin: happy birthday but I have to go Friends: sTaY Lin: . . . Lin: Show me how to say no to this! That is what I thought!!!!
Okay but I actually cried while watching this because Lin is such a sweet person and he is a huge insporation to me and although he isnt giving me personally this advice it still appies to every person that has watched it. I might just be some hamiltrash but because of Hamilton I found Lin and he has really changed my whole mativation to get by school and just life in general.
Im 14 and im crying rn because i just live in lebanon and i cant travel to america or wherever to meet him...when i grow up I will travel there to meet him becuase lin is my idol and inspiration i love him so much and hamilton is my obsession...wish me luck to meet the best man ever..l hope from all my heart and pray everyday that I can meet him and talk to him....I love you Lin❤️
LIN, IS SO CUTE AND SO INSIGHTFUL AND SO FUNNY AND SO CARING, THAT I FALL MORE IN LOVE WITH HIS HEART THAN ANYTHING ELSE EVERYTIME I HEAR HIM SPEAK! YOU ROCK LIN, KEEP BEING YOU!!!! ❤😊
this has been sorta helpful since it was short but I'm also writing a play and its stressful, I have so many ideas what to write but what gets me is the songs, I'm usually gonna do jukebox musicals but I’ll do original story as well but every time I start to write half of it I give up, but the idea is still in my head :(
That is the best advice for creatives ever. Push through that moment of doubt. Get that idea down. All us creatives hit that wall and you just gotta push though to the other side becuase leaving your idea in your brain is where great ideas die.
If he visited my school, I WOULD BE THE ONLY ONE SCREAMING FOR JOY CUZ NO ONE KNOWS HAMILTON AND WHEN I TELL THEM ABOUT IT THEY SOUND SO BORED!!!!!! 😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖
