I've been having issues with writers' block too. It's not that I don't know what to write. It's not that I don't want to write. I'm actually better prepared for this story than a lot of the one's I've written in the past. I know where I'm headed for once, instead of just wandering blindly into the story. I've outlined the plot, and I know most of the scenes that I want to put in the story.

So, why can't I write it down? I've even written out a large portion of them in my mind, but when it comes to putting it on paper, it never happens.

I just hope it ends. I told myself I'd finish this story before school starts again, and I've barely started.

That's got to be frusterating. Sad

I've been on writer's block for a few months. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote five lines of a story and then got stuck again. For some reason, in most cases, I'm either writing like crazy or on writer's block. Once I get back to school, I should be off it; I draw a lot of my ideas from school and with me not really doing anything this summer, I've been lacking inspiration anyway.

OMG! i get the worlds' worst writers block sometimes. To negate it I go to the gym Very Happy helps get rid of the stress bunnies so i can think properly. Also 'cos there is little at the gym to occupy my mind with, it can be a great place to think about characters or plots etc

Goodluck
Love
Kris

When I get writer's block, I read or listen to music. It's oddly inspiring. Smile

I try to de-streesify myself. How do I do that?

I relax in a perfect encironment. By perfect, I mean all 5 sences are saying, "Wow, this is great!" I burn a scented candle, look outside, listen to my favorite music, make myself comfortable, and eat chocolate.

If you can't do that, just eating chocolate will do Very Happy

EDIT: OK, I seriously have writers block. Whenever I type in the chapter number and title, I've always followed through. This is bad Shocked

well, a it after i stared writing, i suddenly had writers block. then i found Techno. ive been good to go ever since^_^

and if that doesnt work, put some on you pod and find the biggest hill you can. stand up there (i lean against my bike) and stare into space. i usually am staring into space anyway...

since i live in a development that has a bunch of empty lots next to each other, they have been turned into an awsome bike/ATV track, with hills, jumps, and forest paths. there is one pretty big hill over there i go on when im bored out of my mind

I really need help.

I've been writing an outline to a story for the past 6th months, but haven't been totally serious about it yet. I vowed that I would start seriously writing after Summer, but the other day when I was looking for a book, I read the back of another book and it's synopsis on the back was oddly like my book. Now I have never read that book, but it seriously discouraged me and I find that I should think of a new story even though I really like my old story.

And now every time I try to think of a new plot it seems that I can think of another book almost like it!! Help me.

I don't think that my current problem isn't writer's block so much as nervousness... I don't want to write something because I already have a completed manuscript that I can't seem to submit...

wow...it seems that August is my lucky month. My writer's block has been stemmed off once again by yet ANOTHER novel that I"m beginning...The Lynchburg Papers.

I'm starting to like this month more and more...
