My advice is to just start writing. Even if you just pick stuff from the top of your head or the first word that comes to mind just roll with it and it'll come together. Even if you start over you gotta just get some words on paper ya know? |

Well one quick tip is the chapter title is Miriam's Trial's, not Margaret's. Ideas for Trials: Miriam is tasked with unearthing an ancient relic but isn't an archaeologist. Miriam has to calculate escape velocity with only what she can find in a jail cell. Miriam's being forced to work for the enemy, and the three trials test her loyalty but she manages to see through them. Miriam's a doctor and she has to treat three difficult patients Idk, there's a lot of ideas! |

Miriam needs to collect something that is hard to get, either due to scarcity or because physically difficult. see the fairy tale The White Snake for examples

Hey man, don't be so hard on yourself. If nothing's working go take a break, do something completely unrelated and just relax. When you come back try starting over and just write a simple bullet point outline. Really broad like,
Then from there expand on each point. Why is sally going to the store? Why did she spill it? Why is she getting in trouble? You can start at any one, but lets start in the middle.
Now we have to expand on the goblin character. I put in a goblin because I like goblins and by doing so it also allows me to bring in fantasy elements. To keep it neat and tidy I really only want to bring in one more character and we can tie it up neatly by expanding this way.
So now you have a pretty solid outline for a chapter. You can easily the attack the story bullet point by bullet point. Each element has a place and logical reason for being there and the chapter neat and concise in terms of overall story. The rest is just writing to fill out your points with colorful language and dialog. At least that's my method, other people have different ones but i'm a little ADD and need a structure to keep me on task and this breaks it into little bits. Hang in there, You can do it! |

misty mountaintop posted:This worked for Hemingway. It legit works for me too. I'm a bit fussy with my own writing which results in a lot of stops and redos when I'm sober. When I get drunk though I can write without all the stopping and deleting. I just go "gently caress EEEEEEEEEET" like that dude from dusk till dawn and just drunkenly ram out a whole thing in one go, and it will still generally be at least as good as it would have been if I had tried loving with it forever, sober. I share a muse with countless other writers and creative types down through the ages.

 I'm gonna give until the 8th for people to get their writing in, in whatever form they have it At that point we'll see what we've got, what we need, and whether/in what form this project can move forward. If you haven't yet turned something in, here are some simple rules: 1. Don't erase! Never ever! If you don't like what you're writing, just start a new page and write, but keep the old stuff because: 2. Even if all send me is a complete jumble of words with no organization, coherence, or basic sanity, that is still ok and a Valid Contribution 3. Believe in yourself! I do. 4. Please write something. ---------------- |
