Ok, so I've only posted 126 words and it's already day 5. HOLY CRAP! Well, I came down with a horrible case of indecisivness. I had an idea, but it was really only a character, and I hit a brick wall. So I decided to try to convert a screenplay I've been working on into my novel. That's the 126 words I have posted. I'm NOT feeling it and I can't get motivated. This morning I ran my original idea through my head about 20 times and I feel I have a good jumping off point. I'm going to get on it tonight when I get home from work. Fingers crossed.
I was wondering if anyone else hit a stumbling block out of the gate, and if so, did you or how did you get past it? Guess I could use a little incouragement.
Thanks Guys, and good luck!

Yeah, I have next to nothing written. For me, it's not that I haven't inspiration. In fact, I have a great story idea, it's all outlined, I've got good characters with full names and everything. It's just that, I'm a senior in high school, I have a research paper due next week, a collage due, a current event to present, a senior project to get on top of, and in general SO MUCH STUFF to do that any free time I would have to write is taken up.
So don't worry. You're not the only one struggling.
Good luck to you and to everyone.

I frickin' forgot about it until today. Yeah, I'm lame. I'll just make up for it by writing a ton more on a few days.

dude make some time! you can still catch up
write in the morning at night , in between stuff , or even start scheduling words.
I found the easiest way. its one Para one idea one description , (describe everything even the shape and smell of a toilet seat) its like 300 words/para or so and it takes like 15-25mins depends.
i got school ,work , video games, food , travel and shopping , and all kinds of house and yard work , freinds , causins, parties and cleaning up. You can make the 1667 per day in like 2 hours or less. and i have no problems getting words.
Get er Done!!!
