The cure for Writer's Block: Writing
16 years ago
Journal Entry I have just been rather unenthusiastic about writing Middle of Nowhere Chapter 13. I've got 5833 words written so far on it, which is okay, but that was all done in the past 5 days or so prior to today. Not exactly the level of progress I need in order to reach the goal of 30,000 words I set for the month.
It just hasn't been flowing. I did write a pretty steamy sex scene, but other than that, it feels like it's moving very slowly. I am really looking forward to starting the second "story" in the Middle of Nowhere series, which will hopefully give me a little bit more of a fresh start and will make things fun again, but I'm just far from there yet, so I have to get there. :/
So the other night, I was randomly coming up with an idea to amuse myself with. Yeah, I've got a bunch of story requests, but I don't really take formal requests anyway because I prefer doing things at my own pace, so I decided, hey, I'll write these thoughts out, why not.
Not that I really had that many thoughts right away. I just wanted to do a little series on each region's starters, so I was planning out the pairings in my mind and thinking how it would work last night. Sounded kind of fun.
Well, today I actually gave a lot more thought to it, gave them all names (I've got another theme, don't worry, haha), and really refined things. Plus I'm incorporating the Fiery Personality Charmander and the Adorable Totodile with Bows into the series. Why not, right? And I started writing out little outlines and summaries for each of the four "chapters" (if I even choose to call them that; they're going to be independent of each other).
After that, since I had some time off, I did some writing, hoping to get maybe 5k words done today if I was ambitious. After all, I had about 14k words to go in just a few days, so I'd be reaching NaNoWriMo level writing quotas if I didn't get back into the game!
So I wrote and wrote and got SOOOO into writing the Kanto portion that I pummeled that quota, going from 16,480 words this month all the way up to 24,745, getting well ahead of where I should be, and putting down a whopping 8,265 words in this story so far! Wow! That really did the trick! :3
These stories are not going to be very romantic. They're meant to be cute sex stories. I did a word search and I don't even mention the word 'love' once in what I've written so far, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I'm certainly not labeling these as romance stories. Just hopefully really good porn stories. And by really good, holy crap, I don't mean to toot my own horn (what a weird figure of speech), but WOW, the Kanto series has to have some of THE BEST THREESOME action I have certainly read. Like, wow, seriously, look forward to some nice bisexual ♂×♂×♀ action coming up. :3
I'll probably have it finished tomorrow sometime, then I want to draw some porn (hopefully) of it, because it was just that good. I sort of want to draw two porn pics of it haha, because there are two great scenes in there. XD
Yep, but you know, that just goes to show you that sometimes you can get a lot done by doing what you kind of want to do rather than what you don't really feel all that enthused about doing in the first place, as the case is with this new series.
By the way, I will be calling it Starting in the Lab, because there are so many interpretations to that and it sounds good. :3

Middle of Nowhere is nice, but I'm really not having fun with this current plot arc, hence why I want it to be over. But it's important not to rush things too much, you know? I'd rather do it right.
But sorry for making you wait literally a YEAR for the next chapter. XD I'll pick it up again. It's not gonna get totally abandoned. X3
^///^
Hey, think you can give us a hint as to the theme you used for their names?
Not gonna have the usual sort of Zeph plot and stuff, no trying test of love emotions or roller coasters of tragedy... but it'll still hopefully have some lovable characters. X3
And yes, I can give you a hint. :3 It's a theme that's already in use in the canon Pokemon world at the labs and their owners in each of the different regions.
But you do make a good point about just writing to push past writer's block, and is something for fellow writers like myself to keep in mind, if I ever wish to get back into the groove (which I'm hopefully starting to get back into, like I was at NaNoWriMo time, before things happened and I fell out of it, sadly). Thanks for the helpful advice! ^^;
Yeah, definitely. Sometimes dropping whatever you were working on and then pummeling those keys to write some other great idea that you ARE excited about is a good thing to do! It's not exactly feasible during NaNoWriMo, where the goal is to write ONE story. My monthly goals are between all of my stories, though, so it's workable in my case.
You could try it too. :3
And yeah, even though I have some ideas in the past that I've started on but haven't finished (including my NaNoWriMo story I started, but didn't get nowhere near finishing, for the goal), I think I have an idea of... something I wish to do at present, maybe for the current AGNPH writing contest theme, slightly adjusted from an old idea of mine a while back. I'm sure if I focus and just try to type (without worrying too much about editing, until I feel I'm done), I could get it done in the next few weeks time. :3 Ah well, my dedication to the project and time will tell, I'm sure. XD
And now, my spare hour this morning is up. I wish you luck in further writing activities.
As for the lone female, well, that's a good point; it could be any of the three effectively, really. Guess it should be a mystery. BUT, since I said that I've included one of the characters from my drawings... you should be able to figure out which is the female without any guesswork. ;p
