I literally cannot describe to you how much of a relief it is finding this in words, which is ironic because the post is about words. I've had a really bad writers' block for almost two years and I can construct everything but I cannot write anything and I'm so glad that someone understands this has been driving me insane now I can actually explain it to people thank you so much for finding this and posting this thank you so so much
Vacha Fadia Is your problem knowing the plot but not knowing how to write it? Sometimes I find writing other things help. For example, I was really stuck on this one story, so I started another one (a short story) and it helped. Sometimes you just need to think about and focus on something else for a little while to get yourself back on track.
I don't really ever have a plot. The most important thing for me is to describe the set of the opening scene - that may be as part of planning, or as part of the story. But I have this perfect image, that if you asked me to go location hunting and film it or take a picture of it, I can - I just can't write it. It becomes these incoherent tangle of thoughts running into each other. Once I've got the opening scene set, everything else falls into place and I have tons of ideas - but I just can't get that. I've tried writing any sort if story, but I can't even come up with a decent four-line poem, and it's frustrating me so much because there will be days where I really, really want to write, and I have all these thoughts ready to jump out, but I simply cannot put them into words and it frustrates me so much.
Hey y'all! Like I said in my last post, I would still love to keep in contact with anyone who's willing through my personal accounts on other platforms. So, as promised, here are some of my social media links. (The first few are more active than the rest, but I do use all of them pretty consistently, even if I don't post that often.) Please feel free to follow me, and I'll follow you back if you don't look suspicious. :) (You can also +1 or comment your profile name in this post so I know who you are.) [removed] Anyway, to follow up on my previous post... I've been scrolling through tons of old G+ posts for the past few days and thinking a lot about this page, and I've come to this conclusion: I don't think I (or any of the other managers) will be actively trying to continue this page on another social media platform. I've looked around at options like MeWe, which I've been hearing a lot about, and it seems like a great site, but I don't thin...
I just got back from the library and I'm so excited to readddddddd I got ten books! I'll list them here. I've only seen five of them before today (first five in the list), but the other ones looked really interesting so I got them. :) The Young Elites by Marie Lu Stitching Snow by R.C. Lewis I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater Geography Club by Brent Hartinger Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins Frozen by Melissa de la Cruz and Michael Johnston Mistwood by Leah Cypess Relic by Heather Terrell Peaches by Jodi Lynn Anderson My mom kept telling me that I wouldn't be able to finish them in time and I was like are you sure about that? Because I'm probably going to finish all of them this week... :P ~Jamie the Magical Marauding Mockingjay

ReplyDeleteOne of the truest things I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS SO TRUE
ReplyDeleteVacha Fadia I have a similiar problem
ReplyDeleteI pretty much think of a "good" story and then write it in my head and then have no idea how to write it its so frustrating
ReplyDeleteAbby Sitton That poem is so apt. That was great, yeah.
