Guys!!! GUYS!!! I can feel it! I'm starting to lose my touch in certain areas of my writing! OH THE PAIN IS SOOOO UNBEARABLE!!!

*cough, cough*

However, I'm willing to bet that some of you know some exercises that could help me...right? I'll take any advice you have. Just remember, it's me, Zaphkiel, everybody's favorite *fill in the blank*:D:cool::)

Anyway, I need some help with my Narrative and imagery skills, so any help will be welcomed! Thanks!

P.S- Oh, and if none of you help...I'LL JUST HAVE TO TEAR YOU APART!:mad:

*Just Kidding...or am I?*

Well, I know when I have trouble being imaginative I go outside. Being one with the outdoors even it is sitting in a city park or forest or even just opening a window it usually helps me.
Also usually phases like these, when the happen, the always seem to ware away.
Hope this helps

ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPH!!! :crazy:

Hi. Do have specific areas you need help with, cuz' it it just me, or is a writer's block another thing we have in common right now?

As for imagery, heck, I've seen you write. I don't think you have a problem with it at all...

Well, for starters, there's that NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) in November where you have to write a 50000-word novel in one month. That should be great practice for narratives.

And then there's always the RPG section, where you could practice on new styles like first person perspective, funky writing tones (like Carraka's) more serious ones like Shadow's or build up on your witty style. (By the way, NEVER lose your wit. That's what I'm crazy about in your works. Some of your characters are just sooooo sneering and sarcastic - they're awesome.)

Hm, well for imagery, when I get stuck, I take a random object and write a description as best as I can. And then I keep trying until the descriptions creates an image in my mind that strikes an emotion. You could try that.
