Writing Passionates discussion

I think of all the possible ways it could happen until I find the right one; maybe look something up.

virtual solitaire on my computer. or this site :D or if i'm really frustrated with a story i meditate and see if i come up with any ideas.

I just let it sit, and once i decide that it has gone too long, I go back and read it again. Or I have someone else read it and ask what they think.

I go on this site. And read- sometimes reading other things sparks up my dead zone. And, I doodle. Or just think/meditate. :D

I usually play virtual solitare, like Brigid. Sometimes I'll re-read what I've already written, like Veronica. Or I'll come on this site, like Sella. Anything to get my brain working. Other times I'll put down the peice I was working on and pick up another, that I might be able to work on at that moment in time.

im like veronica i just sit and wait till i need to write more

oh, i also reread what i've written to see if i get any more ideas. but that doesn't always work. i think it helps more if i do something else for a while, and try not to think too hard about my writing. then, eventually, an idea pops up. and that idea sparks more ideas, and the cycle goes on. :D

Also, another thing that I do when I'm stuck on one story, I move on to another one. Sometimes working on a different one helps me get back on the first one.

Demonic is a great story! Are you going to post more?

I agree, your story is really good!

yeah, tori i like your story too! :D
i also agree that it can help to work on multiple stories at once. i'm working on four right now. but two are joint stories. and another story i haven't worked on in a month because i got writer's block while i was writing it, and i got hooked on writing soul stealer (which is the other thing i'm writing).

Hmm...I'm also writing about four right now. Two are joint stories, two are my own. They're all on this site. :D

I'm writing like, five. But I am really only working on Roses for June, and a little bit of another one that is still untitled.

In fact, with roses for june, i was stuck for a little while after chapter 3. But then this weekend, I suddenly got an idea, but I couldn't type it with me in DC and my laptop back in michigan. I just ended up writing it out in a notebook that has another story in it. I'm goint to post it soon.

i got really stuck on soul stealer after chapter three or four, i think. but then when i posted it and so many people liked it, i guess it kind of gave me the energy to come up w/more ideas. lol. if i hadn't posted it on this site, i probably would have given up on it. that's such a depressing thought...

Tori, that sounds like a really interesting idea!! NO!!! BRIGID!! IF YOU EVER GAVE UP ON SOUL STEALER I WOUlD DIE. lol. It's really good. The Morte has gone into something I never expected it would be. I didn't plan on it being a ghost/horror story. I started it out as just a mystery, and originally the people on the ship were going to be this new kind of creature called Lutes. But then, I realized I really didn't like that idea, so I abandoned it for awhile. When I decided to come back to it, I changed it to ghosts. And I like it this way. :D Tulip's Cozy Tea was also originally going to be a fairy story, but now it's a mystery story. And...I never imagined Moon Rise to turn out like this, but I really like it.

omigosh... sella u told me about that story with the lutes. i didn't know that the morte was based off that idea. that is cool. lol. and no, i'm not giving up on soul stealer. i luv it too much. and i don't want you to die... lol.

Yeah, I like it better as ghosts than lutes. The lutes one was weird.Thank goodness you're not giving up on that story!! :D I don't want myself to die, either. Plus I love your story.

lol. i'm glad u like it. i luv the morte, too. :D

Ummmm, what are lutes?

Thanks Brigid :D Veronica, lutes are these weird characters I made up that look human, but they have bat-like wings and red eyes. I was creeped out by them, even though they were my own creation. So I decided to change it to ghosts, and I like that WAY better.

Thanks for clarifying that, I was wondering as well.

Bye the way, Roni, Sella, and Brigid. Thanks for taking the time to check up on my writing! :) :) :)

He he he, I kinda forgot that you posted the new story online, but I found it when I was looking for who had popular writing this week...

And you know what is weird? Every time I start to write a post, it think of it as though it were in the character game, with actions described between dashes and such.

??What? I'm confused.

On what, Sella. Veronica, I do the same thing.

What do you mean, "actions described between dashes?"

like this:

Me:-blushes- Ummmm, you weren't supposed to know that....

that was just an example. blushes is an action between dashes, or astriks, or parenteses.

Like this. -grabs a book- -reads- -puts down book- -types- Stuff like that.

did we post at the same time? again?

Uh, yeah. But when I looked my writing was first. This is getting weird...

Yeah, I'm leaving. I thought I had enough of this before, but now it's getting crazy. Maybe it won't happen as much with two people as three. It's amazing that their is only three of us though. Think about tomorrow when kassy and rainy log on! They will be swamped with about 60 new comments in the various discussions, most of them from Sella, you, and I!

Okay, I get it now...wow, we're posting at the same time again and again!!

It'll give them something to do. Most of it's interesting to read as well, so I don't think they'll mind, too much...

Well, I think that the only people that really contribute a decent amount to this group are you, me, sella, brigid, kassy, and rainy. So half our group is missing out on all the fun! Imagine if they were all here though! We would be posting at the same time three times as much, at the least!

Way too much telepathy.

ARRGH!!! Don't even make me think about it.

good point. If it think about it, my brain might start to hurt, and not much makes my brain hurt.

Ohh... I do that... the bad thing is that now I have, like, 12 stories going...o.O

I re-read Injection, or RS, or Roses for June, or something, and get inspired. :D

Wow... this is an ancient topic... yikes.

I don't really ever have a shortage of things to write... and I don't think that I will ever have any problems getting past writer's block now that I've done nano. Plus I can pretty much open/close my mind to ideas. All it is, is letting my mind wander. for both. If I let my mind wander and I want to think of a new idea, I will end up stumbling on a new idea. If I'm not looking for anything, I wont pay attention and my thoughts won't turn into a plot.

Used to have problems with writers block...often due to stress and lack of time, or a combination of the two. When you have two hours to write and all you can see is a blank screen and the time ticking by it gets tough. Now I give myself blocks of time and don't even think about the restrictions. I'll listen to music that's inpirational and brain storm and I don't stress if I come up with next to nothing. I find that's virtually eliminated blocks.

When I write I listen to whatever music plays on the shuffel on my computer. right now, i have 2 stories going, 3 more started, and 2 short stories that I finished for school assignments.
I find that physical work helps me come up with story ideas when I have writer's block. mental stuff like school requires too much thinking to come up with stories, but my brother & I Mow people's yards in the summer and that gives me a lot of time to think about just about anything

woh old topic!! teehee

no kidding tale!!

I know...theres so many dead ones in this group

OMG!! This is such an old topic!! 0.0
