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.

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

Ok so it's a bit long winded. It was originally a fic I considered writing myself but I don't really have the inclination to start another fic that probably wouldn't get finished.

How about another 'origin' story? Like Hobbie's or Wes'? Those are good.

Been there, done that, IG, or have you forgotten?

Have you read the Wes story that is total angst?

Yes. *shudder*

Oooookay then, what about a Rebel Commando story?

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.

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.

She's taken up my idea. Or at least for now.

Do something silly. Spike joins Rogue Squadron or something.

Any word on when we're going to see it Kelly?

I don't usually write much on weekends. In fact, that CB fic I hacked out in about 15 minutes. This is going to take a little bit longer. I may have the first chapter out today, though.

cool. In case you can't tell I'm eagerly awaiting it.

Kelly, you and I ought to work together again sometime.

I would love to, Stormbringer. You have such great ideas.

Why thank you. I try. If I get another good one you'll be the first one I tell.

Kelly, I've got an idea for Shaana's training once CBE is finished. I'm planning to write other stories about Souran and Lora, and I'd like to make her at least a supporting character. Could I have your permission?

depends on your plan. PM or email it to me and I'll let you know.

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...

I'm not very good at ST/SW crossovers.
