Writer's block

[Laina]

the story I'm writing now (the fluffy, just cool one for pure pleasure) keeps revieling to me that all these characters I loved are all part of this evil plot against the main character! It's AWESOME!!! Sorry, i just think its kinda cool. Not that my character is getting betrayed and all, but people you thought you trusted are turning out to be bad. not really bad, just minipulated. yea! a post without ellipses!

[Brigid ✩]

haha. XD

[Sella, ov vey! i haven't checked this group in months. ><]

Ooh yes I do get lots of crushes on my male characters...it just so happens that I have to make them around my age and pretty hot. Lol.

Yeah Brigid, David and Luke seem pretty hot. Maybe Julius too, a little...

[Brigid ✩]

ah hahaha. i used to think Julius was hot, when I was his age... um but now i'm almost two years older than him, soooo i've kinda outgrown him. lol. XD
i feel no attraction whatsoever to caleb, for some reason. i'm kinda starting to like jack though. hmmmm...

[Sella, ov vey! i haven't checked this group in months. ><]

Well Julius is around my age (I think) so that's fine for me, lol...Yeah Jack is cool too. I don't know much about Caleb, so I don't know *shrug*

[Sella, ov vey! i haven't checked this group in months. ><]

There's a character that I haven't introduced yet in Outcast named Caleb (sorry, I didn't steal your name, I promise! I got it from this old witch series thingy and I liked it) and I sorta have a crush on him. XD

[Laina]

i have a crush on my psychologist (in my story! i'm not THAT insane yet...) he's a bit older than me, though. he's one of the few good bad guys. if that makes sense... haha!

[Brigid ✩]

interesting... XD
haha that's okay sella. there's really no such thing as stealing names, unless i made the name up. which i didn't. soooo...

[Sella, ov vey! i haven't checked this group in months. ><]

okay cool XD lol

[Paige]

I sort of have a crush on Devon. And Jason. And Archer. And Joseph. And... you get the picture. XD

[T.O.L.I.]

[Sella, ov vey! i haven't checked this group in months. ><]

[Brigid ✩]

[Oceanwaves]

Ello people!
I have been having writer's block for about 2 months now! :D I need a little help with this one plot. I'm thinking about this girl who is the 'Keeper of Lost Souls'. That means she had died in an accident trying to save someone else. So she watches over 'lost souls,' the ones who committed suicide, and have been given a second chance as someone else. And so some of the rules of being brought back to life have been broken, and people are starting realilize simmalarities of people coming back to life. Specifically Isaac, but then my mind goes foggy! Any ideas?

[Brigid ✩]

hmm that's a very intriguing premise. i'll have to think about it; i'll let you know if i think of any ideas for ya.

[Oceanwaves]

Okay, thanks! :D

[Brigid ✩]

sure thing :)

[T.O.L.I.]

hmmm...interesting..

[Veronica, What the neck!?]

Well, WHAT about the people that come back do they recognise?

[T.O.L.I.]

O.o

[Veronica, What the neck!?]

And What rules have been broken?

What is the name of the girl?

Does she have interation with the lost souls? Does she befriend them?

Who is Isaac? Does he have any relation/interaction with the keeper of lost souls? Maybe they are siblings, but Isaac was born after his sister was dead?

[Brigid ✩]

ooh. that would be an interesting twist! :D

[T.O.L.I.]

O.o

that would be really coolio

I would love some help on the book I'm working on. It's a pretty cliche YA type of book, but I want there to be some sort of lesson at the end, on friendship maybe? Basically, it's a really stressful/confusing time for the main character (lots of changes) and she realizes a lot of things weren't as she thought they were. At the end, I want her to go through some personal changes, etc.. kind of like Sarah Dessen's books sorta...

Lena is the main character. She's 17- junior. At the beginning of the book, her best friend moves away. There are a lot of things going on at once (builds the stress for her) but one of the things is the long distance friendship isn't really working.. it's not the same calling/emailing and Lena feels like her friend Katelyn isnt really making much of an effort.. she feels like Katelyn seems to really like where she moved to (california), and when she calls, she always talks about her new friends, etc. and doesnt really seem like she misses new jersey (where lena lives).

Also, they have this little "group" of friends.. and one of the girls, Christina, was more friends with Katelyn than Lena.. and once Katelyn moves away, I want some events to happen, no idea what, but Lena and Christina don't really get along after some incidents (once again, need ideas), and Christina starts to act really nasty to her and spread fake rumors... so school pretty much sucks now... her other friends from that group I was talking about still talk to her but they all have the ir own problems to deal with (dont know if i should go into detail about her friends' problems?). She really starts to miss Katelyn, but when she calls her, Katelyn doesnt seem really sympathetic...

Then she meets Kira (new girl), and I want their friendship to be frowned upon... or something. Maybe she's a little strange or Lena's friends don't really want to get to know another person... i don't know. Ideas? I'm not really sure what Kira is really doing in the story.. but I want something to go on here... I was thinking of Kira being really understanding (kind of like Katelyn was before she moved... but that seems too... happy).

Meanwhile, another person from her group of friends is Riley... who's a guy... and is mentioned in the first chapter.. basically Katelyn joked that she thought Riley and Lenma would look good together... but in Lena's eyes, since she had known him for so long, she never thought of dating him/thinking he was cute... whatever... it would be too weird... but something happens and she starts liking him. (I'm thinking maybe something really stupid... because usually for me personally, I could know someone for like five years and not like him.. but one little thing, even him doing something stupid, could make me like him... so need ideas...) and then in the end I want Riley and Lena to get together... but I need Riley to somehow start liking Lena...

I was reading the posts to this topic and I liked the idea of asking Lena out on a dare but I dont want to just take it in case it was in someone else's story.... but I was thinking Riley could ask Lena out because it was a dare and Riley thought since they were friends for so long, that Lena would understand and laugh it off, but Lena actually thought it was real? And then Riley realized Lena liked him and things got really weird between them? But this is all just brainstorming so please tell me if you guys like/don't like any part of it, and please give me some ideas! :) I also need an ending... but somehow all these problems have to be resolved... at least partially. Or acknowledged. Maybe there needs to be more drama... hmmm.

Wow. That was reallllly long. =/

[Veronica, What the neck!?]

Hmm, sounds interesting.

What if Kira was a lesbian and everybody but Lena knew it? And that's why her friends don't want to get to know kira?

that's a good idea!!

[Amy]

HOLY CRAP! What if Kira WAS lesbian, and she liked Lena? o.O But how would everyone know she was lesbian? Thanks. :)

Also, any ideas of the rumors that Christina could spread about Lena? I was going to make it that Lena stalked Riley... and then Riley got really creeped out even though it wasn't true... but I like the dare idea better so this would interfere with it I guess. =/

[Veronica, What the neck!?]

Well, if you do go with that suggestion for Kira... then Christina could be spreading rumors that they were dating.

Or you could do some other stuff. It depends on how bad you want the rumors to be. Probably the worst rumors would involve something that made everybody think Lena was a slut.

I mean, if I imagine that somebody were spreading rumors about ME, then those would, in my opinion, be the cruelest.

I wrote a poem on writers block

What to Write?
I cannot think
This writers block
Will send me to the brink
I try to write
But nothing will come
Only stupid thoughts
that seem to numb
Creativity is gone
At least for now
The brain will
Simply not allow
The thoughts that
Used to come to me
My brilliant thoughts
That no longer roam free

[Emma the Shadowhunter]

I need ideas for a whole new story!

[D.C.]

Alright try a story about a girl who is trying to escape from Soviet Russia during the cold war

[D.C.]

Her family is killed by the KGB and she escapes. Ends up joining a group of rebels trying to escape as well.

That's really good! It captures writers block in a very accurate, creative way. :D

[D.C.]

Thanks! Well I was going through writers block when I wrote it haha. The poem kinda cured it though

[Amy]

@Roni; But if I did the one that they were going out, and Lena heard about that rumor, wouldn't she get suspicious about Kira being lesbian? hmm. I might do the one about being a slut. Thanks! :)

@D.C.; I like your poem. It's really accurate about writer's block and still rhymes. :) I suck at rhyming poems.

[Brigid ✩]

i wrote a poem about how much i hate writing rhyming poems. and it rhymed. the irony. lol

[Brigid ✩]

What is it with rhyming,
with the matching sounds and words?
Is it all about the timing,
to be admired when it's heard?

To think of a rhyme, I wait and wait.
It isn't all that easy.
It doesn't even sound that great,
it really just sounds cheesy.

Rhyming poems are just for nerds.
They really have no use,
unless you make up all the words,
like good old Dr. Seuss.

[D.C.]

Okay Now I have to write a poem about how much I hate random poems. And it can't rhyme, it has to be really random. Let's see....

[Brigid ✩]

hmmm random poem ...


I hate random poems.
Potato.

:]

[D.C.]

Haha okay what kind of poems do you like?

[Brigid ✩]

good ones. :)

[D.C.]

Your frustrating lol

[Brigid ✩]

haha. well i'm just not particular to a certain type of poetry. i like a poem if it's a good poem!!!

[Veronica, What the neck!?]

LOL. I detest writing rhyming poems. >:(
