Writer's Block?

hey 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 walter but he that dares not grasp the thorn should never crave the rose Anne Bronte " The Narrow Way"

I agree with Aspirant in that I personally do not believe in Writers Block. One of the firs tthings i was told from one writer to another was do not believe in writers block. it only exists in your head. now i believe in writing yourself into a corner but when i am stuck like that i read the work and talk to my characters and if nothing comes out i put the piece away and work on something else and come back to it in a few days time. Throuhout those few days i have mulled over aspects of my characters, scenes etc and thought things over and am thus ready to continue. this is how i work but you need to find what works for you. Below i'll link you to some supposed "methods" none of which I use or even liked but also some discussion related to this topic that may help. . . . http://www.sffworld.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=10 http://www.sffworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10413 ~ Tari The Writer is a child forever listening at the keyhole of the adult world.
