It's Official...I have no ideas!!!

[wertsie]

So I was sitting here today and I realized that it's been months since I've done any fiction writing. I really feel like I should be doing something, but I have no ideas whatsoever. It's so frustrating!!!!!

 

[Lilly]

i got a few pages squeezed out the other night...but alas, i'm dry now.

 

[cell]

My brain hurts!

Squirrels!

My cousin wrote a story about deer once...I remember that I totally loved it so I wrote a story pretty much exactly like it only with raccoons and she got mad at me (understandably so!)/

I like the way this is going..you could develop the plotline to contain a couple of cross dressing squirrels on a long and perilous journey..you could peak into their love for compass readings, and for making music..make one a picollo player who acquired a stray bamboo dropped by an unlaiden swallow heading for the isle of man and constructed his instrument with basic tools and resources..he would later use it to busk for extra nuts along the way..the other squirrelvestite can be the comedy relief..you can talk of their journey through grass buttered acres and sunsets just over them hilly bits..call it "Some Like It Furry" and your on your way

I've always thought the most important element of boosting your motivation and shaping your inspiration is not to think too hard and force something to appear. Its not always the ideal route to take. I think with fiction as well because there are no templates or set rules to follow you are given a much bigger canvas to work on and in the same vein you have to be just as flexible when gathering ideas. Sometimes the best inspiration appears when you don't expect it to, you just have to be as open minded as you can when it does.

Hope it goes well wertsie

Ah, yes...Maybe the trick is to STOP thinkin' about it so much!

And if all else fails, there's the squirrel idea!

Thanks! That's good advice! I know that that's the best way, but when I really WANT to write something it's hard!
