and its getting harder and harder to stand out even if you do something creative…

I mean reading the same thing over and over drives me insane. I mean ik that were the technology age but where did everyone creativity go?

hard o be original these days…
even when you are inventing something new, then someone probably have already done it,
or you have seen it somewhere and forgot that you did…

Changing the scenario and taking what you learned will probably work. You may just give yourself some time to dwell creatively on it and turn it into something perhaps that no one else has done yet (hard to do in fanfic, but). I like to take common scenarios in fanfic and twist them into something strange just to see how the characters react… haha.

however, because i start from scratch, and i know better where it was supposed to be going, i don’t try to duplicate the same thing i remembered i did, i start my thinking from the point i was at and create a better result almost always.

writing is different, i agree, but try to let it flow a new, baring in mind the things you have learned about the characters while writing it earlier,
make it sharper, use what you already know to rewrite everything in a better way.
maybe even creating a different event than the characters was at previously, one that will reflect what you wanted to say in a better manner.

]]> auroranflas Sat, 27 Jun 2009 15:37:43 +0100 Reply from madkin246 /post/289510-writing-emergency#reply-5099743 I can’t even remember an exact line, i wrote it months ago. I still have the same perspectives on the characters but writing the emotions again is just draining to even think about. So how would i make that exciting. I want to write it and read it over and think this is just as good or better then the original. You know? I just don’t want to be disappointed.

It never comes out the same :/ but sometimes you can actually make it better. The biographies idea from Pepsi is a good idea. Just come at it from another angle. One-shots are a good way to get creativity flowing again. Good luck! Remember to have an account like Hotmail or a Livejournal account where you can privately post copies of your story. Never get chapters into anything without having a duplicate…. (I learned this the hard way as well)

Give them a full backstory, write about specific major events that happened in their pasts that made them the characters they are today. Figure out what their main motivation is in life. Just get more into the characters and flesh them out a bit and hopefully it will inspire and motivate you to continue with the story? :)
