I am still new to writing so I am sure I know exactly what this is, but for the life of me I can't bring it to words. Anyone have a good example? Use Star Wars or LOTR if possible. Thank you. I've been working on this and maybe I'm just over thinking my story or something. I'm in a slow...

Thank you for the reply. I will try the discovery method, and hopefully it will help cure this writers block. The biggest problem I have with writing is I will write a page then go back and revise it. I know I should keep writing and keep writing then when its finished go back in revise...

Mythic Scribes, I am curious as to what methods does everyone use to create the plot of your stories. I tend to just use a outline, but a lot of times it causes me to get writers block. I would like suggestions on what everyone here uses so that maybe it can help me get back into the grove...

I know exactly how you feel. This is exactly where I am also in my book. I have a pretty good map in my head of how I want everything to proceed, but getting that out onto paper or into my keyboard is completely different. I decided to go back and do more of an outline of how I want the...

Thanks guys for the reply. I am currently at work waiting for customers to come in. I've been trying to read books, posts, magazines, or anything that could be interesting enough to spark my creative side. I have really good ideas for different points in the book. Just never one right after...

Hey everyone. I'm not exactly brand new to this forum but its been a long time since I've been online. Currently I'm suffering from a bad case of writers block. Which made me think to get on here and reintroduce myself and hopefully out of the ashes I'll make a few new friends or more. How...

Thanks everyone for the help!

Question? Do you normally use a program to help you draw your world or do you draw it by hand? Any suggestions on how to actually start drawing a really authentic looking map?

Thank you. You've been a big help to me. It isn't easy sometimes being a newb at something. Anyway thank you again. Ifinx

Okay so maybe it would be easier to use underline it until a agent gets ahold of it when I actually get done. Would it be also good to change fonts for a characters thoughts? Other than Courier New is there any other good formats for manuscripts?

Another question with it. A lot of people don't like italics or even a change in font. Would underlining his thoughts be just the same? If not then were does underlining come into play?

I would say that it's a little different for every writer. Like for example I like to do a lot of world building before I start a story. The one I am currently working on I spent about 3 months coming up with background information on each race, realm, creature, and school of magic. Its...

Thanks for the friend request.

Thank you. I think I will just write it out in a paragraph to itself and change the font, size, and indentations like you said. If I ever get to the point where I am indeed looking for a publisher then your right I'll probably have to change some things around. Ifinx

Hey Everyone, I really hate being a newb at this because I hate having to ask one question after another. So I hope no one takes offense. Anyway I'm wanting to write a scene where one of my characters receives a written note in which he reads. How would you go about showing that? Would...
