What have I done? I'm stuck in my single quest, chasing after some random NPC, and I can't think of how to continue on. I'm have serious writers block, which isn't helping my writers craft classes either.
So here's my questions: Can anyone give me ideas on how to go on? Can Anyone tell me if this is a redundant topic? And can anyone give me some pointers on how to get out of it?
Oh yes, and...
Has this been done before? Did I just do something really stupid that will land me in some trouble?
Thank you for your input,
Giggs,
If you dont know how to resolve the Pc just have the PC log out. then you may meet them in another quest when you think up something to do. i read over your quest and your attacking soem monsters right? so finish with the monsters then when you look for the pc just have it gone.. and you wonder what happend as you continue your quest. kind of like a "what if"
some ideas. good luck
It's a good idea, but my problem's more in getting the fighting to be more than a "I swing my sword. I hit the monster." I can't seem to get any good creative writing down. I want to do better. I'm stuck in Little Kid story mode, instead of Mature Adult mode.
I don't know if this will help but for me I imagine my PC is a person. not a character in a story, not a computer program but flesh and blood standing beside me. In every sentance you have motion don't use i swing and hit the monster, use I tense my muscles and swing with all my might, the tip of the sword flashing from the sun as it unwaverly aims at the monsters left leg.
The difference in kid story and adult is describing the action. describe as much as you can then describe some more.. think from the readers point of view, they dont know what your talking about. they see a blank screen you have to describe whats on the screen. is the monster drolling, is it covered in slime? is it laughing at your weakness is it running away, is it big and bulky and slow, is it thin and light and fast? every story re describe yourself. each time you go onto the battle field you have more life experence, your character isn't a new character you have fought before, is he or she more heistant, is the character more angry in his attacks?
it takes getting used to but the more you describe the action the more the reader will be sucked into the story and the better the story overall.
now im not a great writer i have bad grammar and spelling so take it all with a grain of salt.. but try it and see how it makes your story change? re edit the two posts you have already finished and add more to them and then re read the final draft.. does it feel more alive? does it make you want to know what comes next? if yes thats good. if no.. well try somethign else :)
