how to get past writers block.

thank you, how do I find a writing critique group? Would it just be by searching online? My book is kind of about the end of the world but some survive. It points out the destruction that we have created, through the eyes of a teenage girl coming to grips with what she is going to miss out on, because of her ancestors and how they mistreated the earth. I used to be regimeted about writing for a certain time a day but don't do it anymore. I think it's time to start again.

I am a member of a writing critique group, women only. Fiction, non-fiction and novel writers. I have learnt a lot by writing crits and receiving them. You have to do 4 crits and 2 subs a month. Subs are limited to 2000 words, if I remember correctly. My subs are never that long that's why I can't remember. Send me a private message and I can give you the URL

Thank you, I have sent you the message.

I trhought about writing short stories but I can always seem to see a much longer story in anything that I write. I don't think it matters about being a good writer (although if the above is anything to go by your not that bad), nowadays you can get people who can polish up writing from draft to publish worthy. It is more the story that matters. I am doing this as well to get more confidence in my writing. Next I might try article or blog writing. I just need to get into some kind of habit of writing. From what everyone else says to me about writers block that seems to be the better way around it. In Stephen King's About writing he says that it is a large percentage, (I can't remember what percentage he actually used, may be 20%) of his books gets edited out. Scary hey? To put all that time and effort into something that your going to lose maybe twenty percent of. But I guess if you don't ever do it you will lose one hundred percent by not putting it to paper. Good luck with your book.
