Ugh

[Nazshakul]

Having some severe writer's block. I know where I want to take the story, can't seem to word it correctly. Well, after I get done with these few stories I'm going to take a break and have open RP, since it'll be within the timeframe of WoW. (These first ones take place slightly before)

Any suggestions to help writer's block?

Music.

whiskey..

(kidding.. I wouldn't advise alcohol as an aide..))

Personally, I find the best ideas come to my mind while out walking the dogs..

Get drunk, then take the dogs for a walk. Don't forget your iPod.

Well, I don't get writer's block very often.. This is because 95% of my stories involve absolutely no planning whatsoever and consist of me pulling reasonable ideas out of the ever-floating pool of random junk floating in my head. There is that 5% of the time though. Normally I just take a break. Excercise in general seems to be a great brain stimulator. But not punching bags! Whether heavy or speed bags, punching bags will KILL all potential ideas and replace them with violent desires.

My best advice? Just write. It may be total crap, but you'll get back to it when you're feeling fresher and rewrite. I know that having someone tell you, "Just write" is annoying and I deserve to be slapped upside the head for it (for not practicing what I preach) ...

The funny thing is, what you think is crap someone else might really like. So I tend to let people read my crap, then I cry into my beer when they agree that it's crap. But at least I wrote something! And you will too. Write something. It may or may not be crap, but you will write something. Just don't delete it like I always do -- put it aside, come back to it a week later, and look at it again, and you'll see what works and what doesn't. Sometimes, I can't see the forest for the trees -- stories and words are like that. Focusing on the words in the first draft can distract you from the story. Write the story, don't worry about the wording, you can fix that later. I'd rather read a good story that needs editing, than perfectly edited literature with no story.

Write. May the Force be with you. And I really enjoy your stories, you're a good writer.

i'm not a big writer, so i don't encounter writer's block that often... but whenever i get in a quagmire, and just can't find the discipline to keep doing something, i find that either excercising or taking a nap help a lot. (aside from talking to my RL friends that know nothing of my secret semi-nerdy life ^.^)

I'm visual so I look at fantasy art to coax back my muse...or I take a shower. The voices speak to me in the shower.

Wha?

[Nazshakul]

Thanks everyone. My creative juices have gotten stirred up again, so look forward to a new chapter in the story soon. :)

Yes, it's the voices..

not the camera and mic behind the wall.

[Danyxandra]

Hmm, the voices do sound kind of ....orcish.

The Nuke and the Kid kind of hinted at it.
