Idea help
I'm having major writer's block. I just can't seem to find any ideas. I have the need to write, but nothing to write about. Help!

I have an idea and sort of storyline for a shorter fic. I'll sketch out the basic premise. It's set some where between Ep 3 and ANH.

There's been a trainload of threads on this topic over in rec.arts.sf.composition (SF writing newsgroup). Fire up your newsreader or goto groups.google.com and go have a look.Kelly Antilles wrote:I'm having major writer's block. I just can't seem to find any ideas.

It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.
Thats not an idea thats a Script!
Ideas look like
Somthing with Wookies
The whimsical tale of the Jawa who would be King
Somthing from the Sith Era
Similar to Strom's post but instead telling the story of the Record's Keeper that tried to hide out on that Ice-World who's name I forget in COPL
Somthing...Nay anything invovling Wes
THOSE are ideas

Possible idea Kelly, in ep. II there were a bunch of small children ages around5 to10. What happened to all these children after the purge? Did the emperor kill them all or maybe did one or two escape. After 20 or so years after escaping the jedi purge what would one or two younglings do with their fledgling abilities and minute training in the force.
Just an idea.

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Re: Idea help
Take a few days off of writing. When I can't think of anything, I just don't even think about it for a day or two. I go out and see a movie, or watch television, and when I come back I am ready to write, again. In the mean time, if I get any REALLY good ideas, I just jot them down on a notepad so I won't forget. Then I can easily go back and finish do something else.Kelly Antilles wrote:I'm having major writer's block. I just can't seem to find any ideas. I have the need to write, but nothing to write about.

Re: Idea help
How about "the feds build a supercomputer to predict and simulate possible threats to the Federation. The Fic details the simulated invasion force (AKA the empire), and they conquer Earth in a 3 day campaign. The simulation is terminated, and an Admiral informs the computer it can end the simulation, when the computer replies that it was never active...Kelly Antilles wrote:I'm having major writer's block.
