Hi, I am working on a script and I have become stuck at a point. What are some methods that you writers use to become creative once again? Thanks, Max Max Bronsema max@seaspec.com

What country/ state do you live in?

If you live in a nice place, then go for a walk from dusk till dawn. If you live in New York, I would not suggest that.

I usually go for a walk or go out and talk to friends.

The only good thing to do is read someone else''s book and see if it inspires you or gives you ideas. I don''t like that method that much.

What kind of thing are you stuck on?

Well I am stuck on the idea of leaving a city. The main character is looking for a drug black market and once he finds it then what. He is in Orlando and I would like him to go under water but I am blanking on any kind of transitive quest/mission/complication to get him there.

Thanks for all the help so far everybody.

Hmmm.. Well, you could have the people running the black market extremely advanced when it comes to vehicles and secutirty, etc. So they have submarines that lead them to thier underwater hideout where they keep thier drugs, etc. And the charecter searching for that certain drug can go scuba diving to get into the hideout, but finds himself being attacked by real/ mechanical sharks. Just a bad idea, I like fantasy stuff, so I may not be the best guy in the world. I do have one water idea that I have never used that is REALLY GOOD, but I would need to know your sotry to see if it fits. If you don''t want the game devr''s to see your story, you can email it to me:

If the game seems to fit my idea, I will tell it to you. If not, I plan on using it in one of my future games.

Good Luck.

Once again, maybe you should go for a walk outside of your area, and see how things are working. Study the people, the places, the situations, and look at the area''s design. You''ll find your mind filled with good ideas.


Sometimes, you ust have to watch TV

By the way, sunandshadow, I started the Forum Game and noone has responded, whats up?(restarted I should say).

Does your charecter have a rival from the past? Is he a thief, or s spy? THese are the things I need to know to find out if your story will benefit from my idea.

how about, somebody drugs him, he wanders around in a delusional haze - right into the water.

Or they drug him and bring him into thier underwater hideout? Hehehe.. I play Metal Gear Solid too much.
