The morning of a student writer

Published by: Scotty on 13th Nov 2009 | View all blogs by Scotty
Agh The early morning after a late night of planning. Why is it so difficult to setup a good story plot? Having the inspiration to write a great novel without any ideas on how to place to plot. Having a great plot but no inspiration to write it. Damn does everywriter go through phases like this? Or is it only me...? I recon every writer has their own weak and peak points when writing. Cigarette after cigarette, watching the smoke twirl into shapless nothingness with my mind wondering... the setting of a theme...A dark fatasy world or a voilent medival setting  maby some of both, maby I should base it on old scandinavioun mythology...urg Internal conflict!!! Character->settings->conflicts->Resolution.
Maybe I should get one of those guide books...The complete idiot's guide to creative writing...  I wonder if there will be something more in the line of the complete idiot's guide to internal conlift. How does one write a book on how to handle internal conflict, making choices to be honest i recon i think to much I should just write and not plan to much i can always edit stuff later. My girlfriend just went for her journalism exam and im stuck here with the bloody maid and with my luck just as my imagination genuis flow she's going to barge in here and start her cleaning routine. She is funny though this morning she was dusting in the living room when one of our hamsters got out of their cage and ran directly at her, never in my 20 years of living did i see a woman jump so high it was uber high, it makes my wonder what she does in her spare time...deadly ninja assasin..maybe?? I should trend forward with caution, to the kettle, to make tea, without getting killed by the hamster hating, hamster fearing, ninja assasin maid of mine.  An so the inspired no plot having hero sets of on his epic adventure of freeing and getting the water he need to make his rooibos honey tea where after he will enjoy it with caution but great satisfaction.

    Hint - give up the fags. They don't help with the writing - they distract. They usually kill you just as you are winning awards and accolades for years of writing. And, if they are the roll up type without filters usually kill you before you win the awards.
    Yes, it does happen to most writers. Best thing is to begin.....and you lucky blighter you have a maid!! You don't even have to do the housework before you start the writing.

    What's wrong with writing a story about a hamster hating, hamster fearing, ninja assassin cleaner? Could be a best seller.

    Well, now that you have that off your chest.... it does help to vent a little. Yes, yes and yes again, we all at some point in our lives feel and have to deal with these frustrations and mental blocks.. My advice as to many others is, don't force it - relax do something else - listen to music, go out for tea, watch a movie or hey, help the maid with the house work in fear of your life... Then things will start to flow and come to you easier... When you force things, nothing will come... Positive thinking helps - sending you good writing vibes.

    Well, what you describe here is exactly what I went through when I began with Lewich. My plot morphed daily and I began to over-think it. DON'T OVER-THINK!!! It sucks, when you think too much you get stuck and when your stuck it gets frustrating and when that happens is when you get writers block...(Or it is just me!) JUst get writing don't worry about the detail's detail, just write and enjoy it.
