Oh, and as for suggestions, how about this?
Write a medieval story from the perspective of a highly unpopular king’s poison-checker.
Write a western from the perspective of the villain’s pet horned toad who lives in the pocket of his master’s vest.
Write a futuristic story from the perspective of the security cameras all over the city— better…[Read more]

Actually @bluejay, my problem is not being unable to think of story ideas, but just the opposite! I see story ideas everywhere— in faces, in old buildings, in trees, in clouds, in poems, in blobs of paint stuck on a canvas. As @Daeus said, I

let my brain particles loose to search the universe for any possibilities and then have them come back…

@daeus – Grrrrr. My mind must be very lazy. I never think of anything worth writing. I have found a book called ‘A Step in the Write Direction, 999+ ideas for creative writing.’ by Sandra Lynn. It is quite helpful, but right know I really don’t know what to write about. Arrrrggghhhh!!! Any suggestions are welcome… 😀

Oooo! You are so luckly. I hit writer’s block all the time. Sometimes I hear something and I think “that’s such a great story idea” and start writing and then get stuck. 😛 I hate it when I do that. Do you have any suggests on how to come up with idea for stories too? That is one of the things I struggle with the most. I like your suggestion. I…[Read more]

I don’t. Seriously, I don’t. At least not majorly. There have been times when I was having difficulty remembering why I had found a particular scene so inspiring and exciting, but never actually have I had a bad case of real writer’s block.

Sometimes when I’m having difficulty with inspiration, though, I’ll switch to a different project for a…[Read more]

I love that part too. I think my favourite line bit though is:
Another two, rifles at the ready, watched the water for crocodiles. I wondered if that would make my mum feel better or worse.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.
“Nothing,” replied Dad.
I still don’t understand why people say that when there really is something wrong. It’s one of life’s great mysteries.

Loved this! 😉

I write in bits as I get time. Normally an hour or so throughout the morning and another hour or two in the afternoon. I like getting everything done before evening so I can relax and read then; but sometimes I write after supper too.

I do 7pm to 10pm on weekdays, and all day Saturday since Saturday is seldom very busy for us as a family. 🙂

@ivy-rose Oh, snow?! Lucky… we pretty much either get clear and cold, or warm and wet. There is no in between. It’s like snow is impossible for this weather. 😛

You know you’re a writer when your little brother shows his appreciation for Back to the Future by chortling that “This is a good plotline!”

Yeah! Not sure what my family would say but why not? 😉 Oh wait, I have a theatrical production coming up next week and as I’m the lead role, I’d better stay put. *Sad sigh* (Can you post photos on the forum, if yes, you should post some of lovely white fluffy snow.) 😀
I do hope, though, to travel to America one day. My brother went to Texas and…[Read more]

Good point!

Oops. That n should have been ‘in’. Grrrrrrr

@ivyrose – You have snow!?! You are so lucky. We didn’t get any snow last year and I looooooove playing n snow. Can I come an visit you??? 😛

Oh! Okay, yes, that’s hilarious! Maybe just insert a little explanation like that into the story, otherwise it totally goes over the reader’s head. 🙂

@kate-flournoy – How could I forget a description of Savanna? Especially her eyes!!! I’ll add that to the story for sure.
I’ll have a look and see if there is another way to say that line.
With the debit card it’s a bit of a joke in our family. When you get charged you have to pay. So when a rhino charges you (money) you pay him. Does that make a…[Read more]

What @Daeus said. 🙂

One line I really liked was

He is my Shepard, my Rock and my Song.

It’s beautiful. 🙂
