*bangs head against desk*

Why can't I write? I used to be able to write. The stories weren't necessarily good but. I could string a few sentences together.

And now? Now, I have ideas, I have images. I can see the story and sometimes I can hear the story.

But.

These days, I have trouble going from one sentence to another.

Going from one to another in a way that flows well and is coherent.

And if I had that ability, if I could just string sentences together. I think I'd be all right.

Well, that. And the ability to describe things.





ps. I'm hoping that bitching about it helps.

Well yeah but it's not always like And then... Like "He swung from left to right on the building tops moving to go to his destination where he would find Gwen but instead he found the room empty' yadda yadda what does he do then?

And yeah

Exactly. How do you make a new sentence that goes with that one that doesn't start with "And then."

*cries* writing is the hardest

"He took a look around the room and decided to leave a note for her on her desk "Gwen, stopped by you might have been out -- Peter." He turned and went back out the way he came. He knew Gwen would find it.

/Am not helping but there's also the three act pyramid

Just use continuation without 'And then' ... Which reminds me of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRN9zj7WLR0&feature=youtube_gdata_player

If it helps my class starts in 5 weeks. Hopefully my fwded materials help.

(And thank you for the icons when you have time)

That is actually somewhat helpful ... what is the three act pyramid?

I really look forward to your classes, even if it doesn't *help* me, it'll still be good information to know.

Shit! Totally forgot. I will do that sometime, yes. In the near future. Yes.

And. I'm usually reminded of that when I'm attempting to write.

This is the three act (pyramid) Structure: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrative_structure

I hope it helps you too I mean I start my novel tomorrow because I figured out my missing piece but shit is tough if you're blocked writing wise. It's tough if you don't know where to start either.

Uhm, yay? It doesn't have to be alot just two or three from NLMG and the Spider-Man one and I appreciate it anyway.

And it makes me laugh.
