Since AC has a ton of motivational threads for people wanting to lose weight (no pun intended haha), I thought why don't we also have one for people who are having a hard time in general with writing their stories?

So many of us like to blame our 'muses' for not letting us write but usually it has to do with something lacking whether it be an idea, a chink in character or plot development or just maybe losing your inspiration for whatever reason.

Here's a good place to post what's going on with you and where others can help cheer you on or maybe throw some ideas your way.

So, have at it!

Carter-Orange:
My problem doesn't seem to be the ideas, it's getting them out of my head and writing them.  Like with Rewind, I know where it's going, and I'm currently writing the next chapter, but it doesn't always write how I want it to write and I end up deleting large chunks of it and writing it again.  Maybe I just don't have the writing skills to get my ideas out.

This thread is a good idea :)

FrickingKaos:
I'm having a major block on Figured You Out...its killing me right now. I want the next chapter to be the other boys but not sure where to go, I don't think I want to jump into Nick being rescued or anything just yet. I'm just lost...

Carter-Orange:
Tracy, they figured out that Valerie took him didn't they?  What about if they do some snooping around where she lived with her Mum?  They could talk to her friend to see whether they can find out any clues as to where she took Nick.

Sorry if my suggestions are crap, they just popped into my head after reading your post :)

mare:
ooh those are all good ideas!

It's hard when you see that maybe a story is coming to an end but you're not ready for that to happen just yet, but like Steph said, Tracy, I think there's still a lot of angles you have to play with since the guys are all willing to go all Hardy Boys for this!

And Steph, I do the same thing as you. I'll write full on pages of things and then decide I don't like it and delete it all. LOL

My motivation lacks when it comes to actually opening up word. It takes me forever to do that but once I do and actually start writing, it happens quickly. I find I have to walk away from it for a few hours at a time though. Like now, i'm taking a break.

I never had to do that before. When I first started writing I could sit here and write until the entire chapter was finished. I kind of have forced myself to slow down, step away and then reread what I wrote before I continue. I think it's actually helped with the overall quality of writing on this story anyway but it's also detracted me from writing and given me some major blockages too.
