Don't really get writers block. If I'm not writing it's just because I'm not, but I'm still thinking about the plot in my head all the time. I'm always working out scenes for multiple books constantly all day everyday. Chances are most of the stories on my mind will never get written. I just don't have the time. I've taken, in my head of course, to merging some of the ideas together to make more complex story lines. Maybe then I'll actually get all my stories told.

Getting outside of my head. It's not safe in there :-)

Start. Cant have a end with out a beginning. Penning the first real word, not the brainstorming word, is the first step towards actually going somewhere. And finish it before you change stuff. You could be constantly changing your plot forever ultimately dooming yourself to never finishing it. It's easier to see how the pieces fit once you have the whole puzzle. Just like a real puzzle. The full picture is already complete then you piece it together. That thing you think you just have to change before completion may very well be the best scene in the whole book once it's finished. You can't really tell that though if you chop it before you see how it fits with the entire picture.

A CD,Album, EP, LP, whatever they call them these days. And going to attempt my first play.

From any and everywhere. Movies, nature, conversations, songs, other books. Something just clicks and says there's a story there. So I write one.

Honestly Cruising the net. It deals with abuse and psychological damage and love. I think I came across an unbreakable campaign where people held up signs of what their attackers said to them and just decided to write a book. Hopefully all goes well it will be out by summer.
