Story Structure = No More Writers Block

After months of hating myself and believing I had writers block, I realized I didn't have writers block at all. I knew what I wanted to write. I just didn't know what to write next because I didn't know what came next.

I found a really cool blog while surfing the net earlier this week that not only helped me organize my thoughts and ideas, but also put story structure into a guide that cleared the airwaves and have gotten me out of my writing rut!

The blog is http://www.Storyfix.com and if you are a wannabe writer and have not read his blog, you have got to check it out! Larry Brooks updates frequently with writing advice made of pure gold. He even has guest posts, one that helped me in organizing my ideas in a way that makes my head not hurt when trying to look through the scrap paper tapped to the walls of my bedroom. My husband is very happy the papers are now gone.

Bottom line is writers block may not actually be writers block, but a block based on lack of organization. Now that I'm all organized and happy I can get to business again and get this sucker written!

(While I love to write, my grammar is far from perfect so I apologize for any mistakes made in my posts)
