| Re: Writers Block... Dear oh dear, you're in deep trouble. The only way you can get over your block is by forcing yourself to write. Think about that quarter you wrote, it's the beginning, and think about where it is leading. Seize the moment you are in, and write about consequences. Write about what happens next, don't stop until you are at the end, and then start again from the beginning.
In other words, if you were at the end of action sequence, then you calm it down and move on. If you were in middle, you raise the pace until you reach the climax, then calm it down and move on. You have to live the lives of your characters, and in same time you have to be the voice that creates the atmosphere and shapes the world. You have to be able to see what comes around the corner. If the scene is too difficult for you to write, then don't do it, hop over it and move on to write what happens next. You'll find a way to tie down those loose ends.
Know that not everyone can write an novel. Many people try, but only so few get to the end. At the end stands the problem of getting your story in publishable form, and it is not that easy. There are so many people who fill the agents mailboxes and only very few lucky ones get to selected to be published.
PS. Without knowing more about your story, and the point where you are in, I only can give you these vague points. |
