Writers Block SUCKS · 1:40am Jul 12th, 2012
Hey everybody...somebody... maybe just me...
Do you know whats WORSE than writers block (a lot of thing including but not limited to car crashes, tsunamis, the moon falling to earth, hostile alien invaders that dissolve in water, returning from outer space to find the world ruled by super-intelligent monkeys...where was i going with this?) GETTING OVER YOUR WRITERS BOCK, FINISHING THE CHAPTER, RUSHING OUT OF THE HOUSE BEFORE WORK BECAUSE YO WERE RUNNING LATE, AND TURNING OF THE COMPUTER WITHOUT SAVING.
Now i can't even remember what i wrote...
So I decided i'd try my hand at writing another story i had in mind (it's sort of a sequel but nothing will even come CLOSE to having to do with the original story until the last few chapters)
Should i include an important character if they are the cause of the entire story but only appear in the first and maybe second chapter?
Do I include the "Human" and/or "Crossover" tag if it's only for one or two chapters and TECHNICALLY, neither character it would apply to i human, just humanoid?
I'm not sure whether or not to put the "Dark" and/or "Sad" tags.
Heck, i'm not even sure "Romance" won't come up.
The only tag I'm positive will be in there is "Alternate Universe" and really, how many people go out into the search and say "Hey, i want an Alternate Universe story, don't care what, but THAT is what i want"
GAHH.
Writing can be so infuriating sometimes.
Sorry to hear about the lost work there man, that really sucks. As far as the whole writer's block goes, if the usual time away from the story and the hours of idea-inducing music don't help with that then I'm out of ideas. Writing some of that other story may actually be the perfect thing to get your mind running again on this story as well.
For the whole tag aspect of the story, I believe Wanderer D wrote an awesome blog post on that bit that I found rather helpful (and thuroughly entertaining to read) that might give you a little help with those choices.
