writers block
 

tell me. why cant i write today?

you just wrote...




...The End.

I have that problem quite often. Usually it comes when you're feeling lethargic or lazy.

Try going out for a walk or run, get some excercise. The brain needs the body to be active for it to work at it's best. Get your blood pumping, wait a bit, and then see what's what.

clever.

thank you. :D


It happens to me all the time as well. it usually occurs after reading every single post/thread and you realize that all topics of conversation are used and the people you were posting with have logged off. when this happens I usually start a poll, it gets the creative juices flowing.

I think this is the main divider of mainstread novels and 1st person nihilism. For me, whenever I am feeling active, I have nothing to say. My inspiration comes from my opinion. I like to distract myself so I am easily pleased by the syntax and description so I can actually write something. Later on once I'm done with the theme, I work on grammer. Mostly, my problem (i think)is that I've written enough to run out of topics. I need to calm myself down and become cynical. Say I wont my main character's personallity to be sardonic, well then I do the actions in my life to force my thinking into sardonicism.

One of the main things that helps me is to force sleep depervation onto myself. You view anything differently. Example: I can do what I please when I havn't slept for a week. Suddenly I forget that there are consequences to my actions. No reaction. So I wrote a story about being disconnected from society to the point that no one notices your mistakes. Eventually I came to the conclusion that if no one notices your mistakes, and you still learn from them...than maybe we should purposely diconnect ourselves. This is all in the train of thought.

I'm thrilled that someone replied positively to this thread...

Short story/poem/song thread anyone?

Quick fact: did you know that if you remain awake for more than 48 hours you are legaly insane until you get some sleep? It's true!

*points to head and heart*
that hurt here and here. if you took the time to look at my second post, you would see that my first was just an ice-breaker and that I have actually posted a suggestion for a solution.

please don't get biased over one post.

some one else say something about mah big idea. It's a writing revolution, ya'll.

I hate when I get writers block. What I do is just not try to think about it at all and it usually comes to me out of nowhere if I just notice something. Try getting away from writing and just do some ordinary everyday things and it might come to you.

^I agree.
