Katie (CrazeGem) | 2 comments im having trouble with writers block and have no idea how to get over it, any one got some ideas please?


message 2: by Maryam. (new)

Maryam. | 199 comments Take a break, sometimes all you need is time to NOT think about your story..then when you get back to it you might get a lot of ideas.....


The other way could be to ALWAYS think about it....which is what I do!:P


Wait..the first advice isn't really a way to get over writers block..never mind..
Sometimes music gives me inspiration!


message 3: by [deleted user] (new)

That always works for me. I take a break from writing to reread my favorite book or something and then I go back to it and I feel fresh.

♫Huneeya♥ | 687 comments usually i just sleep on it
idk, ive never gotten a rly serious case of writers block, so i mite not b much help sry :(
but sometimes ur brain just isnt working and u cant think clearly so ya, wait a couple of days, think about something else, and then get a fresh start


message 5: by [deleted user] (new)

My friends are always pushing me to write and so when I'm not in the mood, I write stupid stuff that wasn't part of my plan, so I have to go back and change it.

♫Huneeya♥ | 687 comments :P thats funny


message 7: by [deleted user] (new)

Maryam. | 199 comments YOU HAVE TO WRITE A SEQUEL CAT!!!!
I'AM COUNTING ON A SEQUEL FOR VS!

Baxter (julietrocksmysocks) | 24 comments You know, I wrote a whole little essay on this. I really should post it. Basically the point of it was that you just nee to force yourself to write something. It doesn't matter how god-awful it is, or how unrelated to whatever it is your working on, just write something down.

It's easier said than done though, I know.

Niki DIALOGUE!!!!!!!!

Just start a conversation and the characters will do the rest!

That is a good idea


message 25: by Niki (new)

Niki That's how I do it. And it kinda shows in my writing...

I'm pretty dialogue-heavy.


message 26: by ♫Krista♫, the Great and Powerful Empress of Silliness :P (new)

♫Krista♫ (kristabobista) | 1754 comments Mod
you're a genius at dialogue. :D


message 27: by Niki (new)

Niki Uh...okay? Why do you say that?


message 28: by ♫Krista♫, the Great and Powerful Empress of Silliness :P (new)

♫Krista♫ (kristabobista) | 1754 comments Mod
Because, the dialogue between characters feels real, like they are really right there talking. It doesn't sound fake and filled with fluff.


message 29: by Niki (new)

Niki Thank you. That's one of the best compliments I've gotten. It made my bad day mucholy better.


message 30: by ♫Krista♫, the Great and Powerful Empress of Silliness :P (new)

I vote in favor of this.



message 32: by Niki (new)

Niki No, school is fine. Golf is not.

♫Krista♫ (kristabobista) | 1754 comments Mod
Ooh. What happened in golf?


message 34: by Niki (new)

Niki I failed. Miserably.


message 35: by ♫Krista♫, the Great and Powerful Empress of Silliness :P (new)

♫Krista♫ (kristabobista) | 1754 comments Mod
Oh. We all fail sometimes, I'm sorry. *hands -* wait, what's your favorite treat?


message 36: by Niki (new)

Niki Rice krispie treats. Of the homemade variety. LOL, remember Acacia's nessness?


message 37: by ♫Krista♫, the Great and Powerful Empress of Silliness :P (new)

Then, it was fun for you. Now, I laugh at it.


message 43: by Niki (new)

Niki Yes, but I really didn't care. I just wanted an excuse to tease you.

Yeah? Well...well...PHFFT! :P


message 46: by Niki (new)

Niki Of course, now you know what all of the interrupted sentances meant, so it's all better. At the time, though, I'm sure you were not happy with me.

It's wonderful now. And no, I was quite annoyed with you, actually. :P




message 48: by Niki (new)

Niki I wish they hadn't deleted those so I could look back and figure out if I still know what I was talking about.


message 49: by ♫Krista♫, the Great and Powerful Empress of Silliness :P (new)

♫Krista♫ (kristabobista) | 1754 comments Mod
I'm glad that the teasing is over with.


message 50: by Niki (new)

Niki I've gotten bored with it. There is still lots I can tease you with, if you really get on my nerves.

For example, Madison's fate... Ryder's fate...
