I've got a case of the staring-at-a-blank-page blues...

(1/2) > >>

honey:
I have never been this stuck in my whole life. Ever. For weeks I've been staring at a blank page. And every now and then, when I do get something written it's like one scene that doesn't seem to work and I end up erasing it. I have about six stories that are somewhere in progress. Whether it's just an outline, or it's one or two chapters or its twelve... I've opened and read everyone of them in the last few weeks and tried to work on most of them and still... NOTHING. I don't even feel like a writer anymore. Like something happened and I'm just not capable anymore.

So my question to you guys is, do I work through my writers block by somehow forcing myself to get something down on one of my current stories, or do I just put everything stressing me out aside and start over from scratch. Do I dare start another story? What would you do in this case?

julilly:
I find when I'm stuck I'll pop out a couple of quick short stories just to get the creative juices flowing.

carterkid:
You shouldn't be forcing yourself to write or eles you won't like writting at all.I say just give yourself a break and go back to writting when your good and ready.Just take a rest,it may help. ;)

Carter-Orange:
Maybe it's because you've got a lot going on right now.  I wouldn't give up on them just yet, but don't force yourself into writing something just because you feel you have to.  I'm sure your inspiration will come back to you, probably when you least expect it.

honey:
ugh, I hope so because I have a brilliant idea for a fun new story and I really want to write it, but then I sit down and ... ... ... Yeah I'm hoping that after the book release and the baby I will get some sanity back.
