The Cassopolis Outpost Review

[terein]

try this: write crapy.
and then revise. this will make you feel like like your making lots of progress, and hopefully get you past your block.
if that doesn't work...
try looking at a dictionary or thesaurus (altough, im guessing you've already done this). still, just look through the dictionary. mabey you'll find a word thats what your looking for.
if that doesn't work...
sleep on it, or wait even longer
if that doesn't work...
idk, i guess you just need to figure out how you want to say things. mabey a different format (like with poems in the text)? write, read, and try a to find your voice (i'm assuming you know what i mean by voice)

So far so good.

Its like a writer block,
but more in the sense of I know what I want to happen in the story down to the conversation,
its just the problem of wording it right.

I literally play the scene in my head.
But...I don't know.

Another curse of mine is that I already have the ending,
and I haven't got as far into the story on paper as I did in my own world that I created.

Sort of like when I posted three chapters of a story I written about 2 months ago.
I figure out how the story was to end faster than I wanted
I ended up not completing it because I couldn't figure out what to put in the middle,
or at least enough in the middle.

Well, from what I know you do read books and even poetry (Edgar Allen Poe), so I would recommend examining how they write. Look for variety of sentence structure, word use, use of figurative language, transitions etc.
Just make sure your not copying their style, so – as Terein put it – try to find your voice. Putting a story into words requires some creativity, so just play around with them.

And yes, a dictionary, and especially a thesaurus, are really handy; I don't know how many times I open my computer's app when I'm writing.

Try to find places for further character development etc. – I suppose you could call it "filling the gaps"



Good luck !

November 24th 2013:
Inside, Outside.

is that when the next segment is coming out?
cool title.
did you get past your block yet?

[WorldisQuiet5256]

Yes I did.
It was more the problem of making the transaction between record and story telling.

[terein]

Yay!

Progress report:
I am working on it, but I am trying to set up a system of progression for the Outpost, as well as other events.

[WorldisQuiet5256]

Okay...may take longer.
Right now, I am trying to establish the world of the outpost.
To create balances in terms of things we have, and things we don't have.

[WorldisQuiet5256]

Okay, modification finish.
What do you think?

Question to all friends, need to know some information I can't find online. This has to do with my story for the Cassopolis Outpost.

Can a Modern U.S. Navy Destroyer navigate the Saint Lawrence River from the Atlantic Ocean to Lake Michigan?
