    Thanks for Seventh Sanctum. I'm pretty terribly with names, too, unless they have some hidden significance later in the story. Very Happy

    When I feel like I got writer's block, I just listen to some music that is completely out of what I usually listen to. Like, say, Call Me Maybe. It sounds weird, but when these cheesy songs get in my head, all of a sudden, an entire universe opens up before my eyes and I get the most amazing weirdest ideas ever. Yeah, it's crazy.

    I love the pic of the dude and the laptop!! lol and "I turn on some music that reflects the story, the mood of the story, or just some music I like. I get into some comfortable clothes and relax in my chair, letting the words flow out of my mind, into my fingers, and onto the computer screen." --I do this too. I get a sort of writers block when I'm just not in the mood to write. I sometimes get in the mood to write, and then I am busy and have something else to do. Sometimes, but not as much, I don't know how I want to end a chapter or start another. Sometimes I get hung up on a word I want to use, or situation or phrase--something I just can't write, or can't generate at that time.
