The Writer's Block
|
Even children's book authors suffer from writer's block
|
We've all been blocked...
- We can't think of an original idea worth writing
- Our plot gets hung up halfway through after a great start
- We know there's a great title for our book, but try as we might we can't think of it
Well, here's a place where writers can get together and help each other!
I spent over a decade in the screenwriting business. I was able to brainstorm solutions to story problems with some of the best and the brightest!
When I found myself blocked, help was often just a phone call away.
I got the help I needed, but I learned something too. One of the best ways to develop your "writing muscles" is to help others with their problems.
I've often seen my own blockages dissipate right after helping someone else. Just thinking about story - anyone's story - gets the wheels turning!
So here's how we're going to do this...
If you're blocked, use the Writer's Block form below to describe your predicament. Important: Give people enough information to really help you.
If you're looking to help others, scroll below the form and start at the top. Those are the most recent problems posted. Read the problem, then post your idea as a comment. (Note: Your idea becomes the property of the person you've offered it to.)
How to subscribe to the Writer's Block Writers Forum
Want to be part of the community? Even if you don't want to make a contribution right now?
Fill out the form below, but use it to introduce yourself. When you're taken to the Thank You page, check the boxes that keep you informed of activity here in the Writers Forum.
Need Help with Your Writer's Block? (Or Just Want to Introduce Yourself?)
Describe what has you stuck. (Unless you're just here to introduce yourself. Either way, use the form below.)
Post your problem and we'll send your call for help to our subscribed forum members. If someone has an idea you find helpful...it's yours!
Make sure you provide enough information for people to grasp the problem. "I need a better title" won't result in much help if you don't describe your story and what it is you want from your title!
(If you paste in text from your work, you may want to write "copyright," the year, and your name right after it.)
