I want to write more. I keep having all these ideas, but I can never bring them out well enough that I feel comfortable writing them. I want to write something sci-fi based, but it has a strong psychological undercurrent to it…problem is, every single ‘gimmick’ I come up with for it has already been done. I want something unique, but I’ve seen and read so much sci-fi that even when I think I’ve come up with something new and different, I inevitably remember having seen it already after a bit more thought.
Its driving me nuts, because multiple people keep telling me I should write more, but the one thing I’ve wanted to write for years now (this story has always been what I wanted to write for NaNoWriMo), I’ve never managed to get enough plot sketched out beyond the couple main characters.
We just won’t get into the comedic writing ideas I’ve got stewing and can’t seem to finalize.
One response to “I need motivation…”
I do know how hard it is to get started writing or to flesh out plots, but honestly…you really *do* get some good ideas! I think you should start journaling in a txt file, either just listing ideas or using the methods in this book that we used in my creative writing class: http://www.booksamillion.com/ncom/books?id=4060492097108&isbn=1590302613
Of course I could kick myself for selling that book back at the end of the semester. >.<
