I have stories in my head ( broad strokes). I can vividly imagine narrative moments in media res that I would love to do justice to by filling out the before and after. I create personalities in my head that I talk to and could transcribe. I know what themes and motifs I would like to touch... but every time I sit down to actually try and drag these imaginings into reality my mind goes blank. I sit, I struggle, I am at a crossroad amidst a blank void.
How do I learn how to give structure to this impulse to create fiction? Where do I learn how to create a program or methodology that allows me to take these abstract yearnings and give them a concrete form?
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you for listening.
The blank page is the fucking worst. Make the blank page go away.
I'm no writer but I've done hobby gamedev, and I can echo everyone else who says you just gotta shit out something. Anything. It'll be terrible, and your brain will latch on to it and insist you do this and that to make it better.
Thank you. The overwhelming amount of support says "DO SOMETHING". I hear you... I won't let the page stay blank.
