okay I am at a deadend so it seems. I have a great creative mind but for some reason I cannot get it on paper. In my head I watch my thoughts/characters/plots like a movie and it all looks fabulous but lately I cant write what I see. I feel like part of me is dying. I know people say just walk away and come back to it but it feels like I have done that for tooo long. I have three great stories in my head.

At first I told myself forget the novel approach maybe put it down like a screenplay (but I never tried to write for the screen before) so I bought books on screenplay writing. so now I'm torn I know I need to sit down and just DO IT and stop blubbering about how I can't especially if I'm not trying to hard but my question is to you guys when you find yourself at a brickwall do you change up how you put your story down like go from novel to screenplay or poetry or short story what? Do you change up and write a genre you have not tried before just to try something fresh?

I think I am rambling. I'm also getting very good at avoidance. It is so unlike me. I love to write and I keep telling mysel hell if Celia Ahern can do it then why the hell can't I...Do I sound bitter or jealous? Maybe a little but its my own damn fault

Hi RhodeIslandGirl I've mentioned this web site on other threads but if you want to write scripts go and get yourself a copy of Script Smart Gold from: It's a plug in for Word that formats your script for you as you type and it's free to download, There is even a US version. I've recently finished writing a novel and I was quite fortunate in that the whole story arrived complete in my head in one big lump; I knew who all my characters were, their names, what was going to happen to them and when it would happen, all I had to do was write it down. But even armed with all this foreknowledge I still managed, on quite a few occasions, to write my way into the proverbial brick wall. When that happened I dealt with it by going back to the last point in the manuscript where everything was flowing the way it should be and deleting everything after that point. Then I would start again but from a slightly different angle, it worked every time. I'm not saying that this is the magical cure for writers block it's just what worked for me and I'm sure other members have other methods of breaking down the brick wall. Good luck with your ideas.

I can only write when I have an emotional connection with the subjectmatter only then do I believe in what I write. And only then can I write. So when I am stuck, or hit the wall, I know that I have lost that connection. I am an artist and it is exactly the same there. Are you really interested in who and what you are writing about? Or is it something you feel you ought to write about. Because it is what you think people want to read? Then creativity dries up I think. With me at least it is like that. As if I betray some inner truth. Sounds a bit vague, I realise and maybe your problem has totally different reasons. Sorry to not be very helpful. milkstone

Rhode. I would be really interested to hear if that works. To just force yourself like that, like taking medicine. Just another thought. Could it be that the fact that you have the whole story written in your head be the very reason it isn't working? Maybe your creative self is bored. It has already created this story, it wants something new. Too much control can kill the tension which is an important part of any 'creation'. Forget the story, the plot. Let the characters take you where they want to go. I don't know if that is it. milkstone
