Writer's Block?
Fri, 17 Mar 2006, 01:19 pmhey all,
I'm new to the writing world and was wondering
if anyone out there could give me some tips on
how to get through the "writers block rut"???
any suggestions on where to draw new ideas/inspriration
any techniques you would use? I've got a fantastic idea
and am writing a monologue from it, for now anyway,
the idea kinda lends itself to a fully fledged
play but i'm not game enough for that right now!!!
this is how i'm preparing etc.
beggining middle and end are all plotted out as well as
the basic movement from point to point,
every idea gets written down,
idea is elaborated and i make a judgement call on
whether or not it will fit the piece,
my research on characters is coming mostly from
"people watching" as the character is quite
physical...
anybody??? thoughts ideas ALL WELCOME!
thanks in advance

The only way to cure writer's block is to write and write and write and write.
try this , it works for me. You say it's a monologue and you have a character. What does the charater look like? In detail? Hair colour? Curly? what about the eyes? fingernails? tatoos?
See your character, really see him/her then ask him/ her a question. They'll answer and the block will start to lift
