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

Writers Block
Tue, 11 Apr 2006, 03:09 amThe brain works like a computer. Garbage in produces garbage out. If you tell the brain there is such a thing as a writers block, it will create it.
The characters I write about come alive in my mind, so I have a conversation with them. When a piece does not flow for me, then I am working on the wrong piece at the time. By working on more then one play, or story, there is always something else that will occupy my brain. Sooner or later a character or experience will trigger a new flow of thoughts and ideas.
Above all I think the writing should be fun. I hope this helps.
