Writing
I love to write stories--not short silly ones but long serious ones. The problem is that I keep leading myself to a writer's block and make it so dull. I don't want to get into the exciting parts of the plot right away and I want to have a 30-40 page long part of the story in the beginning before I get to the exciting parts of the story where things start to unravel. The problem is that I can't accomplish that and I was wondering if someone could help me out here. Like instruct me on what I should do to prevent/get myself out of this situation

If you want to make it easier to write the story, try laying out the plot before hand, it really keeps you on track, and keeps you from leaving something important out. Don't try to force the story to come to you, because that usually doesnt help. I usually think of my best ideas when im trying to go to bed, or in the shower, and as long as i write them down before i forget, they usually are some of the best parts of the story

try to introduce the characters, setting, plot, problem, theme and stuff more in the begginning. Use as many adjectives as possible. also i wouldnt like force myself to write every spare second. do something else and as your doing something else, think up good ideas to add on to your story and write them on a small piece of paper. gather all the small pieces of paper and you will have fun putting them into the story.
=]] hope i helped.

Terry brooks, a great author of very long books says, about writers block(paraphrased):
"When you get writers block, your subconscious is telling you one of two things: either you missed something and you should go back, or you've grown bored with your own story and should quit it, because if you're bored writing it, the readers will be bored reading it"
I think that's pretty good advice to follow.
