i am having trouble with the middle of my book (or muddle in my case) i have a clear picture of how i want my book to start and to end...

i even have a clear picture of my main characters the "good" character and the "bad" character hell bent on getting vengence...

the problem is i dont know how to write these fights or interactions ......arghhhh

has anyone else had this problem and if so how did they fix it
i want to make it dramatic with lots happening, fast paced and captavating...

i think i need a stiff drink.... ooohhhh btw i started the story..... i wrote a whole 3 paragraphs

You don't need a muddle coz you only at the start/// just let your characters take you to here they want to go... head them to your ending... but once let lose ... you just follow them.

that is sooooo Easier said then done, my main character is looking back at her past and recounting her 'tale'....

thats why i want some ideas for my poor brain....i am gonna work on this when i get home...i have a tax exam this afternoon so i have been neglecting the internet for a few days...

have you ever been stumped when writing ?? if so how did you work out what your characters should do?? and what where some of your inspirations??

thanks for the advise it all helps and boy do i need it

hmmmmmm, well I write a bit, and I've never come across writers block seriously. I think the worst case was when I sat for half an hour staring blankly at my compy. Just let your imagination flow, Jess, and write the first thought that comes into your mind. I hope that helps a little...

Well, onw thing to remember when you're writing and feeling "blocked" is that you're not setting your words in stone. Trying to get it "right" first up can add pressure to yourself and stop the creative flow.

Just write. If you don't like it you can change it later, but you'll start some ideas flowing, and get in the habit of putting your pen to paper or fingers on keys or however you write best.

well i have the beginning in my mind so if i can get that written down to my satisfaction then i will worry about what to do with them or let the characters do what they want....

logically i find that hard to believe but... i will try...

i wrote my first 3 paragraphs... not much i know but i have been really busy with my exams etc and my head is to full to be creative....

im only half alive as it is....

thanks for the advice guys....
