right now I have no creative ideas for any of the stories I am writing, and it's what I like to do.. add chapters to my stories just wish a flash of inspiration would occur and I could write another chapter maybe in a bit... not now though. urg urg. |

You need a change of scenery. Maybe go for a walk at a park or go visit a museum.

This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors. |

Raging vortex... love the new name ...
I dont write but I do use other creative outlets. one thing that helps me is not pushing it. when I find I am not getting anywhere with my project of the moment, I put it aside until the creative urge hits me again. it may take longer to complete my paintings, sculptures, what have you's but the result is fabulous and with no stress. in other words I follow the creativity line of those well known professionals who did their best work when they picked up their pens, brushes ... when the their creativity was flowing and put it away when it wasnt. suggestion if your writing isnt getting anywhere maybe theres nothing that needs to get wrote right now or now just isnt the right time for it to get wrote, take a break and when the writing urge hits again enjoy writing your story again. |

Sometimes it helps to do some free form writing, like journal writing about nothing in particular. Ditto what Moxie said about change of scenery!
Another thing I do when I'm stuck: I read what others have written in the genre I wish to write. So when I'm stuck in the novel I am writing now, I will do factual research on things that will affect the story.

Maybe look at the point you're up to in the free piece and ask yourself What is the most unexpected thing that could happen next?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
