Position:Home>Books & Authors> I have writers block.storylines/ideas anyone?HELP?!?

think about a subject or give yourself an occasion!. ask yourself why it happens, who, where, how, what!.!.!.all the questions you can think of, then tell yourself the answers, then ask questions for each answer, like many roots or forks!. you'll get deeper and deeper and there! A rough outline!

You can also get inspirations from everyday life!. Jot each idea down, when you have time look back at all of them and then try to make a pattern out of them!. Asking imaginative, creative friends would really help too!. Read more to enhance imagination, or listen to beautiful music for inspirations!.

An idea: you can write about a girl/boy who is very popular and likable at school but have serious family problems (mother lazy, father quarrelsome, drunk, brother a gangster, sister runaway) and then a friend knew the secret and either keep it and help her/him or tell everyone!. I don't know what do you mean by scary is it ghosts or violence!? If it's the former you can say that the "friend" is actually a ghost (good or bad) or if it's latter you can insert some violence inside (with the father or brother)

I'm 13, loves writing, have writer's block every other day but never stop my love for writing!.
I'm interested in others' books, so if you have anything to share, you can contact me!
Good luck and don't give up!Www@QuestionHome@Com

For the writers block

If you think you have writer's block, it's all in your head!. Like any idea, you can accept or reject it!.

The best way to handle any problem is to prevent it!. Here is a proven prescription for avoiding the blank page blues

1!. Develop an idea you are enthusiastic about!. Enthusiasm keeps you going when the going gets tough, and it's contagious—your reader will get it from the book!.

2!. Schedule regular writing time, even if it's only an hour a day!. Sticking to a schedule fosters creativity and gets the book finished!.

3!. Use writing time for writing!. Think or plan while you walk the dog, ride the subway or bus, drive to work or do the dishes!.

4!. Don't try to edit as you go!. It's counterproductive!. Instead, keep notes on changes that occur to you and mark the spot with something distinctive, such as *** so you can find it easily later!.

5!. Set a specific time to do any editing you can't live without: the end of your working period, Monday morning before you start work, or any other time outside your daily writing schedule that works for you!. If you can hold most editing until your first draft is finished, you'll be able to see everything in perspective and do a better job of editing!.

6!. Be cautious about reading your work to others or asking them to read it and comment!. There are two kinds of comment: valid criticism and reader reaction!. Both are valuable, but be sure you take into account the person's background and degree of expertise in writing fiction!. Don't let your work get nit-picked to death!.

These few things will help you get your book finished at least in first draft!. Once you are able to read your story through, you can rewrite, make changes, edit andd fine tune until it's as good as you can make it!.

There's nothing like practice!. the more you write, the easier handling the basic stuff becomes!. Practicing good habits helps build confidence, and good self-confidence banishes the idea of writer's block and makes you a better writer!.

also as Terry Pratchett said:

There's no such thing as writer's block!. That was invented by people in California who couldn't write!.


For the inspiration:

Keep a dream journal! Write down every dream you have as soon as you wake up, even if it wasn't interesting, as these can inspire you! also, just look at normal, everyday things and turn them into something magical (not in the literal sense!.) Listening to music is good!. Watch the people around you and observe them; imagine if they were a serial killer!? or the first person to pluto!? The possibilities are endless!
