Title: Writing Slump...
Post by: kevmylove on August 24, 2012, 03:20:27 AM
So I'm sort of in a writing slump, yet I have about five stories started and can't seem to get inspired to continue with them, even though I have the overall idea in my head. After looking at all the threads about co-writing. I was wondering if anyone has ever collabed on a story that someone has already started? Does that sound crazy?

If there is anyone that would be interested in collabing with me on one of my already started stories like Underneath Your Clothes, When Darkness Falls or Nobody's Baby. I could give you the rundown of my original ideas for them and get your opinions or ideas. Maybe a collab will inspire me to come back to writing. :shrug: I dunno. I have included my profile. http://absolutechaos.net/viewuser.php?uid=1151

I'd be interested in helping Erika. I would like to bounce ideas back and forth if you'd be up for it :)

wow that's kind of funny because I was having a similar thought like that yesterday at work. I have so many unfinished stories that were getting good and I hit a snag as well. I'm willing to give it a try. Just send me a IM or PM me.

I thought I told you once I'd help with When Darkness Falls if you needed it :p  It has been forever since we've chatted though so it would be easy to forget.  :) 

Miss ya!

Also I am fighting myself from going into a slump.  I am having a difficult time starting this next chapter for SI so I'm feeling blah about writing it.  I know what I need to write, just having a hard time getting it to start right.

Lore, I need more SI so you can't go into a slump!  We need an AIM session for UT too.

Erika, I hope you manage to get out of your slump as I love your stories too :)

Tracy, that sounds awesome! DM me your email or let me know when you are online and we can brainstorm.

Lore, I do remember you telling me that. If you have time or are still interested I would really like the help or to make it a collab. When are you online?

Lindsee what messenger do you have?

Thank you Steph! You're one of my loyal readers and I love your feedback :)

Hello, Ladies!

I think I went into writing slump a long time ago.... I always think of writing, though. Wish I could get back to writing soon, maybe after the baby is born?

I miss chatting with you, girls.

aw we miss you too Ritz! Babies always create writing slumps but I attribute that to your bodies creating something more. :)

I'm in a slump, too. I have been since I moved two weeks ago and started my new job.  So I decided to take a writing break and break from everything, but now I want to write and I just can't.

I've been in such a slump lately, too!  I was so inspired when I was busy managing school and teaching, but this whole summer, I've been completely uninspired even though I have a few stories going!  I'm hoping that when school picks up, I'll find my inspiration again...  Or maybe co-writing like some of you are doing would be a good way to go.  Anyone interested?  :)

I'm open to the idea. Apparently I got a good idea while at work apparently they now come to me while so sleep deprived or on auto pilot.

Ugh I hate writing slumps. Here I thought I was the only one. Tri I just got into a collab with Tracy (DelphinaCarter) but I'm open if you ever wanna throw around some ideas.

I have been wating to do a collaboration for a long time now... But since I'm in a writing slump, i think this time is not a good idea to have a collab with anyone. Hopefully, when I have the time and the inspiration to write again, you guys are still open with doing a collab. :)
