Feels bad man :(

I totally had the most awesome, if possibly a bit squicky to some people, idea for a story involving MC.... but I'm just not a good enough writer to do it justice, I think.

Anyone else have this problem?

My issue is getting crippling writer's block, having an idea and knowing that I can write it but just not getting my muse to let me work.

Never with an MC story specifically, but just with writing in general. I have a friend who likes to write, and while he encourages me, I feel I lack the talent.

I have soooooo many ideas, but dear God do I lack the drive and confidence to do so. I actually did well when it came to writing back in high school (one of the last projects I completed was writing a historical fiction story and I got a pretty high grade on it) but I don't why I have done any more.

I know the feeling; I wrote a story back in high school that spanned over 180 pages, but everything changed when the fire nat- I mean; until I got hit with a severe bout of depression. Since then, I threw all 180+ pages away, and have been stuck in limbo ever since. Writers block has got to be one of the worst things an artist can be stricken with.

How are we supposed to determine whether or not you're a good writer if you don't post anything?

I just know I'm not a very good writer.

I have story ideas too but i can't write, I just draw them instead with minimal writing skill.

Practice my friend; I am sure that with effort, you can construct a superb work of literature :)

My issue is that I don't enjoy writing erotica so it's too tame to share in MCstories circles and too fetishy to share with friends. So I either don't write or keep it to the secret shame folder which no light is allowed to touch.

im trying to write a novel, my problem is i get months long writer's block

I've a number of ideas meself, but the problem lies in that I'm absolutely useless at establishing scenes and fluffing them out. What I mean is I can have the dialogue more or less planned out, have chatacter motives and personalities ready to write, and can clearly visualize the progression of events that make up a chapter/story, but can't for the life of me think how to actually set the scene. It's like trying to perform a play without a backdrop.

My biggest problem is just getting up the motivation to write. RPing kind of counts towards writing, but I haven't written anything beyond term papers and assignments since 2011-12.

It's just really hard to pull yourself out of that pit. >.<

That feel when my goal of eventually being an author will start with me writing smut...

XD

I shouldn't laugh. I'm pretty much that guy.



You and I should pair up then. :P
