Same if I read a book that has something to do with it. :)Jazmine~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06246960020080246030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-77205587089089881542011-12-02T05:46:22.107-06:002011-12-02T05:46:22.107-06:00Bethany, I think that happens to everyone a time o...Bethany, I think that happens to everyone a time or two. When I get stuck, I like to pull out Writing the Breakout Novel by Donald Maass. There are lots of great exercises in there that get me thinking more creatively about my story.<br /><br />Plot and Structure by James Scott Bell had a great chapter on generating ideas, but I haven't had the chance yet to put those into action.Stephanie Morrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128389560727867719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-70266647995675436522011-12-01T22:29:28.396-06:002011-12-01T22:29:28.396-06:00I don't think (Might be key word: think) I'...I don't think (Might be key word: think) I'm being lazy, and I definitely am not overly stressed, but my story still is not going anywhere. I don't know where to take it. I'm at almost 30,000 words, but I'm stuck. I just can't think of anything new to happen to bring a little more excitement into it. =(Bethanynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-75213176777073282072011-11-30T20:12:11.134-06:002011-11-30T20:12:11.134-06:00Great ideas!!

I've set my story aside right now for brain storming. I do write different things but right now I have a book report due and the book I have to read is boring and I don't know if it's ever going to end. After the first of the year I'll need to pick it back up.<br /><br />~Alana~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-70673046357330494042011-11-30T14:21:11.108-06:002011-11-30T14:21:11.108-06:00i didnt think it was possible for me, but i won Na...i didnt think it was possible for me, but i won Nanowrimo this year! just thought you'd like to know that i completed my first novel! its about 200 pages! now for the hard part, editing!<br />ShelbyShelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932186186385448562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-12320751776481539392011-11-30T13:55:09.508-06:002011-11-30T13:55:09.508-06:00Looooove this post. :) Great tips and techniques!
...Looooove this post. :) Great tips and techniques!<br /><br />One way I've discovered to spark my creative fancy is creating a fun storyboard with pictures and quotes and also choosing songs from the Disney Princess movies and imagining which lyrics my MC would sing. :) Dorky, maybe, but it works. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06150136011032761640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-90222425188689066152011-11-30T09:06:11.860-06:002011-11-30T09:06:11.860-06:00Thank you so much for this post, Stephanie!
