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
walter

The responses have been mature in nature and not intentionally critical or abusive.
I have just attended a seminar by a multi-published authoress, also obviously a lecturer. That is the 'show' part, now for the remarkable 'tell' part.
This lady urged us to write at times with the opposite hand as this produces DIFFERENT THOUGHTS to our usual pattern !
I was a member of an inventors club where again speakers urged us to SKETCH as that exercises the CREATIVE SIDE of the brain.
Could these things, so un-usual ( sic ), be what would give us an advantage in this highly competitive field ?
