Writer's Embargo on my Brain
18 years ago
General
Once more into the breeches, dear friends!
After some doing, I have discovered that I do not have writer's block. I have Writer's Embargo, a psychological hiccup I have invented to express my current situation.
What is my situation, you ask? Well, allow me to enlighten you. I RP a lot. On forums, online, wherever, it's fun. Especially when they get sexual. Even more so when it involves Pokemon in some way. I's a freak like that, but I digress.
I can still write these just fine. Hell, I'm up to damn near twenty combined pages of seven-eight paragraph posts on the forums, and I'm still going strong. The ideas just come to me, as they used to for MoaT.
But not anymore.
Granted, I still get ideas, and a lot of them are good, and I can't wait to impliment them... but there's a problem. My mind won't accept any new ideas going towards the NEXT chapter of MoaT. I've tried, and there has been a trade prohibition between my fingers and the screen. The keyboard doesn't have anywhere to go.
I write ideas, jot down plans, only to put them on paper and watch them fall apart. My other writing ideas are going fine, swimmingly, in fact, but it is as if a black hole for ideas has found its way into my path, blocking my mental shuttle into the great stars of future ideas beyond it. I can't move on without passing this hurdle, and, let's face it, I'm stuck.
Now, I'm not prideful enough to not accept help, but if you have any ideas for me, I beseech ye to send it to me in a message. That way, if I like it, my readers will still not know which direction I took it in, and I'll give you credit for helpin' me out. It's not often that a writer asks his audience what they want to see, but if that's what it takes to get this show on the road, then I am all for it.

Darn, I wish you luck.
I think I gots an idea! I honestly hope this one turns out well. I'm going to write on it tomorrow, and if it seems legit, then a new chapter may be up!
Huzzah!
