Fall Into Writing

I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel that Fall is the perfect time of year to really buckle down and get some work done. I know I have done my best and most artistic writing while in deep thought, sitting on my front porch as the wind carries leaves down to the ground. For me it is just a wonderful time of year to really get the creative thoughts processed.

I also find that nature really brings out the best in my work. Whether I'm sitting inside or sitting outside, really shows a difference in my work. If I am sitting inside, my work particularly tends to depict a sort of boxiness or stuffiness, but outside...my imagination runs rampant. And I feel so much better about the work that I produce after reading it outside as well. It just give me a good feel.

No matter what you are working with, whether it be your laptop computer outside or inside with a regular desktop pc, just make sure that you have thought far enough ahead with your work to create a specific plotline or try to envision the plot in your mind as if you were playing a soap opera or a movie in your head. I find it definitely helps to get your writing on the go, to observe others works and see how they have written something or done something that you need help with. Maybe it will jumpstart your creativity in producing something magnificent. :)

Writer's Block

Okay, for anyone who has never experienced writer's block, let me tell you something, you are EXTREMELY lucky. For one, when you are an aspiring author it is a pain to get writer's block during the middle of an incredibly intense moment in your plot line because as soon as you leave the point in your story you had been writing on....and you come back to it, your ideas....your thoughts, are gone. Therefore leaving you with two options. A) You could rewriter and replan everything you are getting ready to write, or B) You could rework everything you had been thinking of and spend hours on end trying to figure out what you had planned to begin with that would go at that particular moment in your plotline. No matter what writer's block is a pain and really needs to be squished upon contact to your ideas and plotlines otherwise you will have to deal with the madness of a dropping slope of insanity to your work. Meanwhile, as you are thinking about the point in your story that has been erased by writer's block, you lose other key elements of your plot line that float away just as everything else had.

Usually when I have writer's block a few things I do are, listen to music, try to concentrate on nature, take walks, talk about my plot line with a close friend or two...anything to try and jar my thoughts into motion. Now here lately, blogging is my creative passion for writer's block, one that I definitely hope will work. Hope this helps a little and remember, whenever you have writer's block : Calm down, chill out, and think positively, the answers will come soon enough.
