Writing problems, need some help

"Don't get it write, get it written"

Just start, and after a while, it just flows. :)

well u know the first paragraph is the hardest after that ull be fine just lay back and think *how should i start this* just start writting think of a good interesting start ull do fine hun

try starting w/ a scene the first few pgs are always the hardest 4 me cuz its hard to keep going but after a whille i think bout it all the time and it just flows or start w/ an introduction

Just start and after a while new ideas will keep popping in your head for what will happen next. To me it's sometimes hard to write the beginnings of stories but it will get easier once you will yourself to start!! :D

lol ohh i havent written a story in such a long time but...i think i can help..well what i do when i know i wana write a story is play it through my mind as if it where a movie and write what i see in my minds eye and make that a rough draft then it all comes naturally

You could try writing the middle or end of the story first, which might be possible if you have a timeline already.

Another trick: try a different format at first, to see if that will get the creative juices flowing.

For instance, you might try writing it as a play, where it's mostly (if not all) dialogue. Similarly, you could write it as a screenplay.
An example:
JOE: "Hey! Watch what you're doin'!"
ED: "Excuse me? I'm sorry, you must have me confused with someone else."
JOE: "You owe me an apology!"
ED: "I don't think so. Let me go."
JOE: "Say you're sorry!"

Another method is the way that I've written novels: starting from an outline and working through the whole story, adding a level of detail each time. It's an interesting contrast to the previous method, because it's almost like a silent movie at first, because it focuses on plot rather than dialogue or character motivation. For instance:

1. Joe goes to a bar.
2. Joe gets into a fight.
3. Joe wakes up at the hospital.
4. Joe meets people in the hospital.

Then, the second go-round:

Joe got off work and went to get a drink at the bar. Inside the bar it was dark, and not many people were there that early. Joe ordered his first drink and sat at the bar. When he next looked at the clock it was hours later and he was very drunk. The bar was full now. A man shoved Joe, and Joe yelled at him. The man yelled back, and then Joe hit him. Three people jumped on Joe and he fought back but was soon knocked down.

When Joe woke up he was in a hospital bed. He had a tube in his arm and he was scared. The person in the next bed spoke kindly to Joe and helped him calm down. Then the doctor came in and told Joe that he was concussed, and that he'd have to have an operation.

You would then go through the story again, adding more detail, and possibly more sense impressions (how bright was it, what colors were there, how did it sound/smell/etc) as well as dialogue.

Then you could keep going through it, adding more and more detail at each pass.

trying to do everything, relax and simplify. add ins later. you are teaching yourself as you progress. see how much you can write about a simple pea in her pod. and add again.let the pen help you pass your creation from mind to the audience who will read yor work. practice and keep your work, as chapter's of life in this great journey. you can do it. little quantities. then you can pump it up with air,hellium,cream,style,stink,color.best of luck to you and your creation.;-]

If you've got a basic layout of what happens in your story, just start writing! When i write, i just write what comes to mind because sometimes the most spontaneous ideas are the best. Then, if you don't have better ideas, you won't forget it... plus if you change your mind later on, you can always go back and edit it... :D hope that helped!!
