Hi all I have a problem with writer block I have been doing Roleplaying for days and I am stuck on it. The thing is I am not like other roleplayers I have a learning problem and sometimes I hate it when people can't read what I writing in the roleplay and I tell them it is hard for me to do it in their way it is just how my brain is.

But back to writer block I just help what would I do but I am ok with writing this but I can't think of anything. But I am a good writer I can write stories but I gave up that I just need help with writer block and me with my roleplaying problem as well



Please help me.

For writer's block, I'm afraid I don't have any good suggestions. The best one I can give is: Have your life suck. >.>

I've spent the past year pretty satisfied and happy with life, and I haven't been able to write at all, but my creativity flowed the instant things started to go downhill. Art and creation are means of expressing feelings, and if you're joyful you're probably going to spent more time enjoying your happiness than you are needing a way to express it, because you don't. Most of the best artists and writers I can think of suffered in their lives enough to need expression.

The rest are just lucky jerkfaces.

D:
Basically: I wish I could help with that.


As for the learning problem, it sounds like you may just not be roleplaying with the right people! There's bound to be someone who can understand you and be open and patient when they don't. :3 It's all about finding the right people.

Roleplaying is like most two-person activities. You can just find some random person whose willing and do it, but it's so much better when you find someone at your skill level.

Awh, don't look at it that way! Never say never!

:D You'd be surprised at where a stubborn attitude and a big imagination can get you!

Easy. Watch movies that are close to what you're role-playing about. Either that or read a book? :D That always seems to help me out.

I agree with lillian's suggestion. Usually when I'm not in the mood for writing or drawing or doing anything creative... I watch/read whatever it is relating to what I wish to do and that usually gives me a whole boost of inspiration.

And for finding people who can understand and work with your 'learning issue'... that all comes with time and searching. Like Fortis said, the right people are out there, you just have to find them. For instance, out of my whole 5 years of role-playing and searching for the most suitable role-playing partners, I have only ever found two truly great ones. And even with them, our interests eventually broke apart and we all went along our separate ways. From that, I've kind of learnt not to be so picky. Sure, I believe there are other people out there for me... but who's to say how long it would take to find them? Sometimes you just have to learn to be a little bit lenient and settle for what you know you can get. All the while, keeping your eyes open.

Thanks for all your help I try to find people that are on my level. But my friends are good to me with my reply to their rp a lot so I am ok with my friends.

And I don't have a writer block anymore since I ate food so I am ok now but my roleplaying will never change at all that is what i think in my mind.

Let me tell you a story,

Years ago a young boy just discovered roleplaying. He only typed in one liners, misspelled frequently, used smileys and did all his rping in the first person. People hated him, and he got banned off a few sites, flamed to all hell and was generally hated for his noobish behavior and writing.

Yep, that was me.

Now, in the past few weeks I've been on menewsha at least three different people have told me that I'm one of the best roleplayers they've seen on the site. If I can go from a three word reply of the most illiterate imaginable to something that people look up to and get intimidated by, whose to say you can't improve?

I got better by roleplaying and doing my best, and generally trying to enjoy myself! A little reading doesn't hurt, either. ;]

What I'm trying to say is: You'll improve, just give it time!

Oh oh! What helps me is... you browse around the web, or probably write here and just find little plot bunnies. Try to write one page long stories about them. Or find a writing prompt. Because half of my problem is... I can't think of a plot. Most of my stories go no where for pages and pages before something actually develops, then I have to rewrite the entire thing. Start small, work your way up to bigger things.

Find roleplayers that will work with you, instead of against you. Finding a role play partner, perhaps, would be a good idea. This way it's one-on-one and you both understand each other. You might even get story ideas to clear that writer's block!
