The creative process..., What you usually do. Options

[valkan]

Everyone goes about doing it a different way. Usually if I wanna write a new fanfic chapter, I'll play a game or watch an anime over and over again.



.....That was when I CREATED my stories. To get new chapters out of that.....I tend to read alot of books and other fanfics until I become inspired to create something of my own.



How do you do it?

[Raijinili]

I agonize over the first sentence, then the first word, and never get anything done.

Or if I start in the middle, or somehow end up there anyway, I write half a sentence, forget what I'm doing, then sit there for ten to twentr minutes and "try" to "remember" what I'm doing by doing something else.

As for creative thoughts in general, I SOMETIMES write down what great idea I thought of, and usually never get interested enough again to expand on it.

Sometimes I do, though. That's when THIS happens:

Yes, an error. But if that page wasn't error'd, you would see months of work. AKA two topics posted by me, and I think four by others. Another failed endeavor.
