Those are great tips for future writers. Like some of the commentators have suggested, I also think that writing in some genres require a special talent. Some people have the ability to reproduce worlds without ever having been even close, others (like myself) have a hard time spinning the tales and the details even when the source material is part of my background.
That being said,it is good to have available some of the steps you have so generously provided, so that whenever the muses come for a visit we can make them stay :)
Thanks for submitting a comment I can relate to. I really nice to get appreciative comments, but I'm really a shy person and not used to praise.
But with your comment it's how you express yourself by adding how you relate to the blog. It makes it easier to reply to your comment. Thank you.
I know exactly how you feel. I've have that problem. That's why I write about it. I'm trying to pass on what I've learnt how to use my imagination and emotions to think up stuff to write. I'm still working at it. So keep trying, in time you will master it.
Thank you very much. I try not to get obssessed with it. I had been trying to work on a long story for Halloween, but it just did not work.
It's like singing. Some people are blesses with a voice for talking, others with a voice for singing. One can learn a thing or two about sol-faing, but we may not be able to sing before an auditorium.
Peace of mind also helps, although I know from the bios of some famous writers that many great works of literature were produced under strenuous circumstances. But those are case where talent (the gift) precluded crises. Chances are that a crisis igntes hidden talents. Despite my current restless state of mind, I have probably noy been facing my greatest crisis yet :)
