Advice from Writers wanted
Oct. 1st, 2010 04:32 pmI want to start writing again. However, I cannot come up with a plot. This is annoying, because I have a handful of plots in my head that I've been meaning to write out for years. So why not write one of those?
Because they're too concrete. It's like, some of these stories are from when I was 15-16 years old. And I WANT to write them. The general premises are solid. But the details and especially the characters seem like they can't be moved. Like they've been carved out of stone into the annals of time. And I can't work with that kind of pressure.
Have any of you guys had that happen? Where a story cemented itself and you couldn't change it? Or a character? Do you have any tips for breaking them out of it? If not, any idea how to come up with new plots? D:
