Question

Describe some of the main challenges you face as a writer and explain how you plan to help yourself overcome these challenges.

Answer 1

Finding the right pencil, #1, #2,#3 or #4. Then should the pencil be plain  or with an eraser? If I have to buy a separate eraser should it be all pink or pink or white? Should I also get an eraser for ink?. Then the paper.White, yellow? Plain or ruled? s***w it, I'm going to the library..

Answer 2

My main problem is actually finding time to DO the writing. I'm going to designate a set time that is Writing Time, no matter what, as soon as I decide what time is best.

Answer 3

I've started writing several novels but I never finish them.  It really takes a lot of work and dedication to get through one which I guess is why I admire people who have done that.  

Answer 4

It's not a major problem and I believe I can overcome it - but I find "fixing" the plot and getting it together quite hard. I strive for a well-rounded and believable story, so I guess that's why! I plan to overcome it by focusing on the planning, the character devlopment, the real "nitty gritty" rather than the creative writing.

W00t!

Answer 5

facing the blank page.  (you take a deep breath & jump in)

overcoming the internal editor who criticizes every word & insists it's not good enough.  (encourage the other voices in your head to talk over it)

getting productions.  (just keep sending out scripts over & over & over)

(i'm a playwright)
