I wait for it. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and start to write and sometimes I have crap ideas (that I know are crap ideas) for months at a time. To keep my vocabulary in practice, though, I like to find writing prompts on the inte…

I actually GOOGLED "help writing blocks" because I'm a loser and that's what we do ;D So there was this really good piece of advice. If you have some block to the plot of the story or a part in the story or even a description... People watch. Go s…

well, when you think of an idea that you think might be okay (or not okay) then give it the seven days test. if you keep on thinking about it all week, and thinking of more good parts for it, then go for it! if not, then...maybe try something else.…

This is totally my problem too. I will usually get some really good initial ideas, but then they just fizzle away. It's why I have, at last count, five projects started and nothing finished. It's frustrating! I love to write, but it's been really di…

Oh my freaking God you just described me. I mean, I'm sure you described you, but it bears an uncanny resemblance to how I would describe the relationship between me and my writing career. *SO*... that being said, the way I usually get anything I…

As soon as I read this, I thought,"Wow. My life story is staring me in the face." The way I cope with my inability to come up with a plot is to write short stories. Every weekend I sit down and just write. It doesn't matter what it's about, but mos…

I agree with Bethany in a lot of ways. Sometimes an idea will pop into my head and its amazing, other times it epically sucks, you just have to distinguish which ones are which. Also, and this may not work as well for fantasy and sci-fi novels as i…

Bethany replied to gnomes's discussion 'So you think you can write...??'

For me it's a little bit of both. An idea that's not totally,completely "Oh my goodness! That's awesome!" may come your way frequently. It's your job to figure out a) Is it a good idea or a bad idea? b) If it's good, how do you make it "Oh my goodne…

So... you want to write, you want to write a novel. You're a very good writer. You have a natural talent for putting words and sentences together, you even enjoy your own lofty prose, and you were always very adept and talented at writing papers and…
