    Aaarg!

    I've written myself into a corner and can't figure out a way to get out >_< I'm trying to finish this one scene for a story but I can't bring myself to write it out. Should I scrap it and try again? Or keep it and listen to some writing inspiring music?

    Hmmm. Maybe you could think up tons of awe-inspiring scenes in your head and try to work with those.


    Add me on skype and I might sing to you.

    Give me a synopsis of what's going on currently.

    Okay, um, it's set in a dystopian/lawless world caused by a natural disaster and a group of super human homicidal maniacs known as Chaos (which disbanded when their leader and half the group suddenly disappeared). I have two main characters, one is Jaxon Banks a drifter and the other is Caleb, a guy with amnesia. The trouble I'm having getting past is this little town that they're in is currently being attacked by basically Chaos wanna-be's (think rednecks with heavy artillery) and they have the weapon that belongs to the leader of Chaos. Caleb senses it's there and he's starting to get his memories back but Jaxon is in the dark and thinks he's being an idiot because he's going to confront the rednecks himself with no weapons. Currently Caleb is standing in front of their vehicle, Jaxon is peaking around a wall with a shot gun and I'm stuck.

    Does that help?

    Well, 'kickstart my heart' comes to mind.

    Try outlining key events you want to have happen, arrange them as bulletpoints into an order that makes sense, modify or remove events for later so that it all fits, then flesh out with details.

    If more detail is needed, but you can't think of a way to describe something in-line with the IC, use footnotes.

    THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO WRITE THIS DOWN AND RECORD PROGRESS
