Re: You can't HANDLE the Writing Thread!

I used to have this problem. It put me off writing for a long time because nothing I came up with was good enough, and the more I mulled over it in my head, the more shit it sounded and the less I wrote.

The three things I found that helped were first, to write it anyway. The more I wrote, the more ideas came to me, and the more exciting I became and the more the idea developed.

The second thing was to make lists. All the ideas I had were written down. What do I know about each character? What do I know about THIS ONE SCENE? Every detail was listed out. Whether or not this was necessary is up for debate, but it was fun, and it did help to make me care about both the plot (what little I had), and the characters.

Finally, talking to people can help. Personally, I find it very difficult to talk about my ideas in any detail, but I'm lucky enough to have a friend who's also a writer and was happy to hear me out, and to then suggest things I wouldn't have thought of. Some things I've been told just wouldn't work, or wouldn't work just as they were, and he helped me come up with solutions, and other things I was told were pretty good. It was nice to have reassurance that a concept is solid, and help in the places where it wasn't.

Whatever you do, good luck, and hopefully you'll get out of your rut because it sucks ass.
