Writing help

[EndlessDestiny]

I've been working on a story for a while now and I keep having trouble writing it. I know what I want to happen, I'm just having trouble focusing on writing an geting into the flow. Any writing suggestions or tips?

I usually listen to music when I write as I find it helps me concentrate better also have a notebook of ideas.

All I can offer is sympathy. I have been stuck on the same chapter of my story for more than a year, even though I have it entirely planned out. If I get through my writer's block at some point, I'll let you know how I did so. My condolences for your writing troubles.

This might be something that could help you in the long run: get involved in a debuting writers' group (online or in your region), write as much as you can unabashedly and get your fellow co-writers to produce constructive criticism. It would act as a good feedback loop – the more you showcase your work, the more your ideas will seek exteriorisation.

SJ came up with some nice points as well I think – merging your writing with something you love or keeping a notebook of ideas handy.

All the best with your story,
