Greetings and Salutations
Greetings-
I found this site through Google and decided to check it out. Hopefully it will be of some help to me. My SN Liriel Baenre is the name of perhaps my most favorite character in the books I read. I needed a role model as a young girl and this character was everything I wanted to be. Now I am older and I still love the character. I have roleplayed her for nearly 10 years online via yahoo and other places. She has been molded into a different character than what was in the books. But she is rich and complex nonetheless. I had fallen out of the roleplaying era when yahoo died, and it was the place where I had worked on my writing and description abilities. Now, after a long absence I am wanting to write again, but have found myself fighting writer's block for years. There are times when I can write and the ideas are just right there on the surface. Other times when I can't wait to write but when I sit down I go blank. And times when I can force some ideas based on other things I read (not plagerizing)..well, you know what I mean. I have found myself amidst two books. One short story of my own, a simple romance novelet and another story that could easily be an epic novel. I want to participate in both of them, but I just can't seem to think. I can't get myself to focus on my book, and I've found myself sitting at the computer staring at the story with nothing coming to mind to say. I have had many arguments with my mother regarding this. She thinks I should be able to just sit down and write and keep at it, but whenever I start to...nothing is there. So I thought I might come here to get some advice and help to stem this problem. I really do love writing, and I want to do more and do better.
Thanks,
Liriel
