Stuck

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I've started to write this Naruto story. It starts off with Naruto chasing Sasuke and then progresses from there. So I got to a point in the plot where I'm absolutely stuck. I don't know how to word it so it can keep going.

The story makes sense until that point. Then it just gets really confusing.

Huh, so this is writer's block.

I was hoping that listening to music will help me to write this out but it's not. With all my other fics, I just had my ear phones on and blasted my music and the story would just come to me and I would write it down.

With this Naruto fic, however, I'm just not going anywhere.
I'll probably just scrap it and rewrite it later.

I also realized that I have problems with pronouns especially in paragraphs where a certain character would be interacting with another. So my sentences are often choppy and don't flow. So I'm going to try to fix that habit and figure out how to improve. I've been studying other writing techniques and I've noticed that a character's name is probably used none or once or twice in a paragraph and the rest of the time, the name is replaced with 'he/she' and it looks better that way. So I'll have to fix that. Does anyone have good advice on how to make a story flow?

*I can't believe I didn't realize this until after I sent my story to betas. I feel so so bad.*

I've also decided to f-lock my journal, this'll take place in two weeks.

ugh. i have a biology study guide due tomorrow for 5% of my overall mark. of course i'm going to do it. it's so easy. i have a biology practice final. i'm kinda nervous because i haven't studied all weekend. i just slept most of it away.

just read the most amazing [info]sasuxnaru one shot fic. it was so creepy but it was really effective in how it was presented. it definitely was something i enjoyed to read. Check it out!

also there was also this really great fanart doujinshi. it's only three pages but it looks like kishimoto-san's work. it's just that good and it's pretty funny. Doujinshi

another really good fanfic in the [info]sasuxnaru one shot archive is My God by [info]tsuzukinoai. interesting concept of the angel and demon theme.

well i have an english provincial and biology to do so bye.
