Writing Woes
17 years ago
Have you ever had a problem where you have a great idea for a story/background simmering around in your head but can't get it out?
Well I'm currently having that issue right now. I have a character that I've been playing in a game for a few months now, but I haven't written his background. This character has some great ideas that I can just picture in my head, but I can't seem to get them written down into a cohesive group of paragraphs.
There are some things written down, but that is because I don't want to forget them, it's mostly a jumble of random thoughts. The background started out as a story, but after a few days of thinking about it I changed my mind and started over as a short bio. Now I'm not sure if I want it to be a short bio anymore.
My other major problem is that I can't seem to keep myself motivated to write. There is a story that I started about a year ago, and after the first few days of writing it just stopped. I try and pick back up where I left off, but that spark of inspiration isn't there anymore.
Anyways, It's late and I should get to bed.

Rest deeply, keep a note pad/pencil at your bedside and tell your subconscious
to wake you when parts start to flow.
Don't laugh. It works for me when I'm composing songs!
Anyway, i have the same problems, i come up with things, and yet i can't seem to get the words out. I believe thats what your saying, correct me if I'm wrong.
My mind is so detailed when it comes to his life it is insane, yet telling others about it is an entirely different set of problems.
