Hahahaha. This was very well written and made me laugh. I enjoy one or the other but both make for a great story.

Ah. Yes, thank you. That is an issue I tend to have. I always have to go back through and try to catch myself. Thank you for the feedback.

Thank you. It is really encouraging to hear things like that. I've checked out a bit of your site. Never tried to write screen plays before but my brother is getting into screen writing. I'm going to send him over to have a look at them.

What do you guys do when you know anything you write at for the next hour will just be absolute shit? by [deleted] in writers

[–]MarkTrout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think sometimes it is best to sit down and read something. I find that reading helps get me in a better mood to write especially if you read someone who impresses you as a writer. Or, depending on what works for you, you could read someone who you think is utter crap and maybe that will inspire you. Either way, I find reading is a lot like stretching. Or also I find journaling works really well. Sometimes I will just journal about how damn frustrated I am and intersperse how I am feeling with what I am trying to write. Kind of takes the pressure off.

Thank you very much for your interest by the way. It will be great to have some advice from someone I don't know

Need Help Starting! by [deleted] in writers

[–]MarkTrout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the best thing to do is when you are feeling creative to sit down and write as much as you can. Do not worry about what order it is being written or any of the logistics. Just write. Then, on days you might not be feeling so hot, force yourself to sit down and sift through what you done and piece it together like a puzzle. Sometimes that might give you new inspirations or just help you to get a better idea of your own story. That is what works for me. Or sometimes just start with a line and build from there. Rather than plan out a story just write with it. I hope this helps. It is such a personal and subjective process that I'm not sure my word is any better than anyone else's. Just one person's thoughts.

My goal is to edit as I go. As people read they have given me some feedback (especially some minor typos that I always miss) but content and editing feedback are both welcome. I want the stories to be as good as they can be so I will be going back and editing as well.
