Young Writers Society

Hi there!

This is a very common problem, one that I'm sure every writer struggles with. (Including me!)

What's funny is that I was looking for forums about writer's block, but I couldn't find any that fitted your question. (By the way, you can make a thread there and ask your question there! You may get a few more detailed answers. Here's the link: viewforum.php?f=11) You can create a thread here asking your question, and hopefully you can get more detailed responses. Let me know if you have any questions about that, if you decide to post there.

My advice to try and find things that excite you. Or look at what you're currently writing from a different angle. For me, I really love acting, and I once tried to write a story about it. (It didn't go anywhere) But it got me excited to write!
Or maybe there's a book (or show or movie) that you really like that excites you creatively. You can try and look at it more closely to find out what about it makes you like it.
Maybe you have an old story or story idea that you can revisit and make better or help it spark a new idea.

I feel like the best way to get writing is to have motivation. You should want to write! It should make you feel excited! Yes, there may be some rough patches where you have no idea where the story should go. But for the most part, you should feel excited to write it! If you don't, then maybe try to find another idea that does excite you. Or look at what you have from a different angle. Sometimes all it takes is switching the point of view.

Hopefully this was at least somewhat helpful! Please let me know if you want me to elaborate on anything. I have many writing help books that I can suggest or reference if you want, too.

Please have an amazing day, and happy writing!
