Charlotte's Paper Bin

Well, my problem is I have too many ideas, too many unfinished stories and a crappy novel with thirteen chapters that I just started again and am only on the second chapter. I have no idea what to write, start or finish... Little help?


NOVEL! (Yay! Caps.)

Ellima and the cerulean Crystal.
The most I have ever written. But I currently have writers block and I think I am getting worse at writing. I'm a little bored of the story too.

This strange idea I had and I don't know if I'll ever bother finishing it.

Undead

This vampire story i wanted to make into a novel.

Maybe if you expand on the story behind the books your writing, you might find a little motivation there? Explaining things and talking about ideas always helps me motivate myself

What I'd do is, I'd choose one project, set myself a daily, weekly or monthly target, and then write like a lunatic, no reading back over it, no changing things, just words on paper. Than I'd put it away, maybe move onto my next project (preferably a less daunting, shorter one, like a short story or a couple of poems), and come back to it in a few months, edit, adandon it, and then go back and edit/rewrite. Hope this helps.

If you've got writers block, I wish you luck in throwing it off. I had that for pretty much all of 2007 except in December when I started writing my book, which i finished a few weeks ago..

The only solution to getting rid of it (although others might disagree with this) don't bother writing unless you feel absolutely compelled to do so. And if you can't write anything for your book, then read through it and just imagine all of the things you could do. And if THAT doesn't work then get into poetry. It worked for me.

Thanks for the advice everyone!
