Inspiration strikes you when you least expect it. I've had a story bouncing around in my head or the past FIVE YEARS. I have maybe 2 chapters written and a rough outline. Sometimes I sit in front of the computer, determined to write my story, but wind up writing and re-writing the same sentence over & over. THEN I'll be at work and busy with a million things that have to get done before 5:00 and BAM-! the only thing I can concentrate on is my story. 
...if nothing else works, start with; "It was a dark and stormy night...." "Two men were sitting in a graveyard...." | |

Well, I wrote 5 pages in 270 days! I've written nothing in 14,050 days! When I was 16, I fully expected to be able to build my own KITT car.
At the top of my list now is the dream of being able to poop in peace just once. — Horsefeathers | |

Sooooo.... is there a reworked Moonbeam levels in the making?  
If this really is about a novel, try writing about what you know - instead of what you think you know, be honest now.... One minute they want peace……
Then do everything to make it go away.  | |

"It was a dark and stormy night" always seemed to work for Snoopy! Second Funkiest White Man in America   It sure is nice having adults running our government now | |

I'm like that with scripts inwrite for finbut I give up after a while. You know what's annoying... 4 years ago I started a Batman script...it started with a masked group robbing a bank and one removes his mask to reveal the joker = The Dark Knoght 2 years ago started a Transformers script where they had been here millions of years, shaping early humanity = revenge of the fallen. If u want a tip...start in the middle of something instead of building up to something, it makes it easier to kick off. "The blade flashed on themob lightcas it sliced effortlessly..." " "what was that?" asked Chester the Badger"  | |

I wish I had a collection of everything I've written here. It could probably fill a book.

OMG! I'm just like that with music. I have tons of unfinished demos and I've heard so many of "my" songs over the years that it puts me off ever completing them. I mean, what's the point? Nobody would ever believe that I wrote Amy Winehouse's 'Rehab' first. It's completely annoying. My Current Single Of The Week! http://prince.org/msg/8/322299 | |

Has anyone compiled all of my quotes, by any chance?  When I was 16, I fully expected to be able to build my own KITT car.

Religious theories...had Autobots and Decepts teaming up to fight common threat from one man who had unearthed one of the original transformers (similar again!!!), double crossing, international terrorism, corruption - it had it all...I'm sure this will be the premise for Transformers 3!!!

I'm debating between writing two things: a screenplay based on a video game (that I'm pretty sure no one on the Org knows, but I'm still not naming it). I think it'd make a great and fun Pixar film, although the claymation in Wallace & Gromit might work too. I don't see it being any sort of live action, just based on the characters in it, or A novel based on a play a friend and I wrote back in 1992. It's a comedy about a father/son conflict over what to do when the kid graduates high school. It's a bit of a coming of age story (and "Coming of Age" was the original title). I think it'd make for a very funny book. I think it'd be easier to write first, rather than working from scratch on the video game movie. Ernest L Sewell, IV

also wrote half a indiann jones style script with a Maguffin that gave the holder ultimate knowledge....Crystal Skull anyone. Sounds weird but, although I used to write novel style stories a few years back, I found screenplays more exciting to put together....and I can't rember how to write the old way now.

After all..we are ALL looking 4 a better place 2 die
