I need help.

[zoruapwns 100]

So I'm trying to write a Fallout:Equestria spin-off but I'm having a bit of trouble.

 

I have the storyline and some ideas, I have the characters and the locations but I can't seem to get the words to come out.

 

I've been working on it for about 2 weeks and all I have is about 1 and a half pages.

 

Any tips/hints for...well not being this bad at writing?

12 Repeat.

The ultimate question there, isn't it? I'm not going to come in here and say I'm the super-ultra-extreme-awesomazing-est writer ever, but I have been told I've a bit of a talent. Really, what I tend to see, and often have difficulty doing myself, is there are all of these great ideas that I want to get across, and instead of a story I end up with more of a summary it seems. Try to avoid descriptions that come out as lists, and think of it as something actually happening that you are recording. Write it as it unfolds, and don't worry if all of your fantastic ideas don't come through in the one scene.

 

I hope that helps at all, and good luck in the days to come!
