Sticky: The Writer's Block & Inspiration Thread

[TheCityBeauty]

A good idea for writing [and this can go into Character Creation] is to go to a website where they list character traits [such as this site here!] and pick one [or a few if you're up to the challenge.] and create a character profile that includes everything from age, blood type, species to biography [which is really important!]!

After that, why not write a short story using that character?

You can save these profiles in a notebook or file loose leaf papers somewhere safe for later use if you need help creating a character. And save ANY stories you may have! Who knows if you might need to read some later on to help you get a jumpstart back into writing?

Write or Die. You set yourself a time limit, a leniency level and a punishment level and away you go. Just write. And if you don't, after a certain amount of time not writing (depending on your leniency level) you get punished. Punishments are: a pop-up window telling you to write (nicest); an annoying noise of some kind (medium); or the program actually eating your writing word by word (meanest). Wonderful tool.

I don't know if this is the same as freewrite, but I find that this is very helpful;
You should sit down with a timer, a pen and some paper and just write for ten minutes, you are not allowed to stop. If you DO happen to stop, you have to reset your timer and start over.
Hope this helps! 3nodding

no this sounds stupic but it works soooo well, just write watever pops into ur head. little rymes, sumerize points that u wana add to ur work, or anything else that comes to mind it dosnt even matter if u continue to rerifht the same sentence or word or letter over and over untill something else pops up in ur head. its works wonders for ur composition mrgreen

Usually when I get writer's block I look around at an Rp that relates to the one I'm doing. I get inspired by it because it says a lot by what your character can do and what's more appropriate for your writting. Then I reword it and make it look like my own. It's fantasitc, and it get's the other RPer more to look forward to. :]
