  1. #1

    Question many ideas but

    how do you just sit down and write i feel lie i have a block???? anyone agree with me?

    No. Start writing.

    EDIT: Wow, that was ruder than I meant it. But seriously. There's no such thing as writer's block. Just start writing something. Anything. Write about your day. Write about your dog. Whatever. Just write, and you'll get un-"blocked".

    timunely tablets

    Don't just start writing.

    Concept ---> Plot ---> Page Breakdown ---> Write Dialog.

    There's different kinds of writing. "Concept ---> Plot ---> Page Breakdown ---> Write Dialog" is not necessarily the kind of writing to do if you're feeling blocked. Just like if I'm feel "artist-blocked", it'd probably be better for me to just go wild in my sketchbook a bit than to make a big, tight, planned out illustration.

    And that would all fall under the "concepting" stage.

    Anything is allowed if it makes sense.

    It would also fall under the "just start writing" stage, which means I win, you lose, get the hell off my internets.

    Seriously, though -- I'm not talking about using this writing as a starting point for anything bigger -- just using it as a way to start the physical process of writing, and get your head in the right place to do more serious writing. It's a lot easier to start when you don't put any pressure on yourself -- when you know this is just junk writing that no one but you ever has to see.
