kayo80: Once I sat outdoors with a dog and stared so hard at the dog,kept my mind fixed and got my story. The next time I tried that I wasted over 2 hours of my time. Once I completed a story in a day cos I was given a deadline,next time I tried I lost a gig. I pick ideas from everyday scenarios as well(as in I can observe for africa). Someone advised I record my thoughts as they come, I tried that once and by the time I sat down to write,it was another story entirely. My sis says writing might not be for me(literally),that I could try working with someone where I give the story and the person does the writing. I'm seriously considering this as I have a vivid imagination,but struggling with penning it down to my satisfaction . Three of my friends are on my neck,to write a novel. Kpa I don't even know where to start explaining from. 1 Like |

Missnande: "Once I sat outdoors with a dog and stared so hard at the dog,kept my mind fixed and got my story." Interesting. I love weird processes like this. About you giving your ideas to someone to do the writing, it is actually a great idea. The current richest fiction writer in the world, James Patterson does just that. He doesn't write his stories... He just writes a sketch... Like a rough outline of what the story should be about, and he has a couple of young authors who do the writing. If we were in the same city, I would have loved to partner with you on a story or two. |

Re: 2017-2018 Chatbox by Debbietiyan(f): 11:39am On Dec 16, 2017 |
illicit: Thank you o jare. I think I prefer the original size of my brain. To be honest though, I believe relying on substances to draw inspiration diminishes your self-worth as an artistic person...be you an artist or a writer. Being capable to create (write or draw) only when on 'substance'...ultimately leads to addiction, whether you admit it or not. And what happens when you can't get your quick fix is that you ultimately feel you aren't good enough. Which is wrong. 2 Likes |
