I have writer's block. All I can write is "It was a dark and stormy night."

Suggestions?

	That seems like a good start...or is it not? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Not when you're a horror novelist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh..I could try to help, but I don't know anything about writing books. Sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Have you ever considered writing what you know? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	So good to hear from you. And I have, although every time I've tried to write it, I somehow make it sound as though vampires are lovable creatures intent on true love. It's more disturbing than the truth. How is your formula coming along? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It is shaping up well. I am attempting to move from O- to AB+, since it is more readily available, and lesser needed by humans themselves. Messes with the taste, though.

I realized your Family was optimistic, but I never would have imagined you could make romance from our life. Have you lived through no wars, met no gangs? If I had a better understanding of writing English, I could write you some tales.

	Write about a serial-killing necrophiliac cannibal. Who works for a metal band. And is also a chick, and they all live in a castle. That, yeah. Write about that. It can start with "It was an overcast afternoon, and the yardwolves were taking their pups for their first swim in the blood moat." (Reply to this) (Thread)

	the_deathofme 2008-12-01 02:06 am UTC (link)
	Isn't that a tad overboard? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	robyngraves 2008-12-01 02:23 am UTC (link)
	Really, you think so? Nah, overboard would be something crazy like, the metal band also rules the world and their fans are always killing themselves out of psychotic love and the serial killer chick is just a small part of their massive masked army. But, y'know, don't write that part cause my masters have rights to that and you'd probably get sued. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eavesdrop. It always breaks me out of writer's block. I sit in a cafe, settle down, and jot down whatever people say that stick in my ears. ... if that makes sense. And doesn't sound terribly creepy. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	the_deathofme 2008-12-01 02:06 am UTC (link)
	I'm actually quite good at eavesdropping. You're a writer as well? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	twiceloved 2008-12-01 02:36 am UTC (link)
	It's a great way to get openings, or sort of plot elements. I am. Novels mostly, sometimes music. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Science fiction. "It was a terrible storm, right in the middle of our path of travel. And inch too far on one side, and we would be in a meteor storm so bad it would be a miracle if we survived. On the other, an unexplored portion of this particular system, containing God-knows-what kind of beings and conditions." And then keep going. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	the_deathofme 2008-12-01 01:22 pm UTC (link)
	And this would be acceptable as an alternative to sheer horror? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cosmiccastaway 2008-12-01 01:26 pm UTC (link)
	It could totally become horror. Have you ever dealt with a hull breach? Horrific. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
