Writers Block
Mod
Same.Its just when you run out of ideas. By putting your fingers on the keys and just typing something, ideas will come to you. Writers block is just something made up for writers to lean on when they are frustrated about hitting a wall at a dead end. Just grab a sledge hammer and barge through it. it takes some work but you get there in the end.
I think writers' bock is realy just a creative 'slowing down' of ideas to one particular thing. I mean, maybe you can't think of something relevant to your story, you can still work on another or even write something that you may actually find yourself liking for your story.

*nods* Exactamente
*grins* That's how I feel right now...I have to do major editing in order to make the beginning of my story even make sense now...agh.
Mod
That's good..wen I get stuck..like now.. I write poems.olo
Yeah...my editing sucks *insert odd and old fashioned saying here* and I really should start again..
Good luck with yours!
and for a change of atmosphere..
Bonne Chance!

I say it's real. I get rid of it by...waiting...and listening to my writing playlists (yes, I have one for each story)
Eh... I want to believe it's not real, but sometimes I honestly get stuck and can't think of anywhere else to go. Luckily I have another story to work on! :D
Mod
ooh i have playlists for each story too ;D

If my books ever get made into movies, I'm forcing those to be the soundtracks. Well, except one of them because it uses like, 5 Paramore songs. I love Paramore, but...people start rolling their eyes at me...

*SQUEE* I LOVE PARAMORE! pshaw, I roll my eyes at the people who roll their eyes at you. Paramore rox my sox. Very good writing music. ;)
Indeed. Taylor York is freaking attractive, too.
I think that sometimes it is harder to write or what you are writing just doesn't seem as good as usual, but I think usually you're just having an off day. Sometimes when I can't write on my story, I just write some random scene from something else about some random topic. It's fun to do even if it's pointless. :)

That is one of the most under-rated songs in the world.

Flyleaf is almost as awesome as Paramore. I only wish I had their actual album. I have the EP, but I actually like the demo version of "Red Sam" better than the album version.
*nods* I've only heard a few songs by Flyleaf...
They is metal. I usually hate metal, but I love Flyleaf.
I've tried Brigid's and Kim's theory about writer's block and it doesn't work for me :/ SO, I believe in it :'( Unfortunately...
What's SPN?? Man, you people are coming up with so many little... thinys... it's hard to keep track of!! :(
I feel out of the loop... Lol.
haha....

Ooooh. Riight. Lol.*shakes head* these little thingys are getting hard to remember, Lol.
I no longer believe in writer's block. If I have motivation, I'll end up writing something. I thought I had writer's block in DotS, but as soon as I used Write or Die I wrote 1000 words and finally got to Joseph's perspective.
I'm going to go read that. You've posted it, right?

I have, but I want to do some serious editing, so I'm not sure if I want people to read it. I need to fix the dialogue so it's more realistic and just fix some things.

Honestly, I believe in it. I don't see how it cannot be real. It's not something for writers to lean on when frusterated, but a time when the words you write just don't seem to come fluently and feel and sound painful and bland. Even the most accomplished authors have it..ahem, (the last J.R.R Martin last book.) Whenever I have it, I just move on to a different story and take a break for a while. Writers block dousn't last forever though. Everyone has it at some point, but then one day a random and brilliant idea will come, and when you return to your story, the words will come more beautifully than ever before and it will be like returning to an old friend.

I really wish it didn't exist. I definitely have those days when the words just don't flow as well as other days.
