Once in a while... I'd need more playtester's though...

Hey folks. I guess I'm not really an aspiring writer, since I don't really plan to publish anything, but I write a lot. Just not on the same project for any length of time. ;D I never get a story past a chapter or two before writer's block sets in, so I mostly just bounce from project to project. I think in the last year, I've started a post-apocalyptic adventure, a super hero story, a sort of Arthurian fantasy, and the most recently project involves some kind of distopian war between technology and creatures of supernatural origins, with homunculi and golems slated as the protagonists.

Have you tried doing an outline of the whole story first? Maybe it's not so much writers block but figuring out what to do next.

And do you find it satisfying? If so, more plot lines the merrier even if it's a couple chapters! Still don't the character haunt you from your buried computer files----"Write me! Write me!" LOL
Welcome!

No, actually. I think it's because I'm a gamer, and am used to accepting that a character is gone, or at least on hold indefinitely. Playing RPGA in the Bandit Kingdoms does that. My first character died in 3 minutes to the first damage roll of the session. Since then, I've retired dozens, maybe a hundred characters. Not many of them have actually died, but there were some I wanted to.
But no, I don't make outlines. I tried with my post-apocalyptic book, but I ended up jumping the tracks pretty quick. Mostly, I write because I feel like it, so when I don't, I don't.
