Hey everyone :)

Hey everyone :) I'm tianaluthien -- some of you may have seen me around HASA or some other place. I've been suffering from a massive case of writer's block for, well, months actually and it's driving me up a wall. It's not actually due to lack of ideas, I don't think, but rather due to a lack of energy and focus. I'm currently working on a "short" story entitled "Hunter", which is the second of what will eventually be a series three. I've made very little progress in at least three months, so I figure I'll give this a shot and see what happens. My goal, so that I have something concrete to aim for, is to have written 5000 words by the end of November; I don't know if the story will be finished by then or nearing the end, but...it would feel so good to know that I've done something about it. I'll be juggling this on top of about half a dozen projects for school so any and all encouragement/pestering is appreciated.

Cheers and good luck to all,

Ti

I know how it feels to be stalled on a project, so I hope this community challenge helps.

Good luck!

Thanks! I admit I'm feeling rather optimistic, suddenly...I worked out my "formula" the other night and...it's giving me a good feeling.

What they said!

Yes, being stalled is pretty ghastly. I find that picking up a different project for a while sometimes helps get things flowing, but that may just be me. Hopefully this common goal thing will help us all - so I'll wish you the best of luck and look forward to hearing that you're making fabulous progress.

Sometimes starting a new project helps to get things flowing, I agree...unless, of course, the story that's currently stalled is breathing down your neck demanding to be written. Whether or not you feel like cooperating. So I figure I'd better finish up in this "world" before moving on...

Hi Ti, it's good to have you here. I really hope this helps to break your writer's block. 167 words a day - you can do it!
