It also helps to talk about it! Thanks for the advice.

I saw an interview with a young poet from Mexico (interviewer said he was the Mozart of poetry). He said that when he gets writers block he writes down all the reasons WHY he has writers block.

Advice from a writer...

Write.

Don't stop writing, and when you are finally done.

Write some more.

When you collapse, stop.

Reawake and repeat the process.

When you are near death, then and only then...

Pick out the useless information.

Good luck.

I can only remember two bits of advice on writer's block from two professional authors whose names I long since forgotten. The first was to smoke and smoke a lot. The second was to keep writing until your writer's block goes away.

Oh, and imho, stories can never be too short.

In any area which involves creativity, whatever blocks will occur. I get this from time to time with math.

First I just let my mind wander. I let things pop in whether they are related or not. Most of the time this works.

If that doesn't work, I tend to pace back and forth, which sometimes irritates people depending on where I am ;-) In fact I've proven a number of things writting at my desk standing, not sitting.

If I'm still struggling, I go do something else. Could be surfing the web, or reading, or watching TV/DVD/etc or... Just something to get my conscience mind off it and onto something else so my sub-conscience mind can work on it. Usually I'll get an epiphany (typically while in a compromised position ;-)).

But if nothing comes to me, I just make sure to get a good night sleep and start again in the morning.

At any rate, its worked for me so far, so...

One of the most important things to do I think is that once you get an idea any idea (A piece of dialog, a situation anything) write it down someplace then build on that idea latter.

I know there short sometimes I cant think of what to write. A friend of mine said just keep it going, just when you think its going to end having something else happen. I was thinking of combining chapter 1 and 2 and adding in where he tells her about the life they lead and then ending it there, and then write some really cool adventures.

From what I've heard, you just have to keep writing. I have a good friend that has finished a few novels, some short stories, and a few scripts. He just tries to be diligent and write every day for a set number of hours, even if the writing is bad in his opinion. Rewrites and editing are common. Hope that helps. BTW, I read your fanfic posts and thought they were a good start, if a little too short. :-)
