Writters block

I am writing my first book now. The pre-face and first chapter are finished but I have a long way to go...wish me luck.

I did until I finally sat down and started writing stuff. I now write articles and other things online. But it really goes in spurts for me since I will write a bunch and then go up to a year without posting another article.

oh yes and i have come to the conclusion that i shouldnt write fiction! i find that dialogue gives me problems! (hence, i will stick to non-fiction.)

I think everyone suffers from this at one time or another. Not writing things down gets me into a lot of trouble. When I don't write it down, I lose it and away it goes into the idea ether. Sometimes that sucks, but sometimes it's a good thing. There have been plenty of "good" ideas that upon further reflection, I realized were awful and needed to stay up in my head. They needed to mature before they came out of my pen. Still, it is a problem. The only solution I've found is to always carry pen and paper. That way when the idea hits, you scribble it down. But you have to release yourself to scribble just enough of the idea to inspire and not be beholden to writing the next great novel in that one instant.

Ya.Many people undergo this.Inside every person,there is a writer awaiting to be inspired.Only a few people get inspired and among those only a few actually sit down to write for real.I have been thinking to write a short story book for ages.but nothing had gone into real efforts.Happy mylotting.
