God I'm bored!

Anyway...

NAME: Peach
OCCUPATION: Princess
AGE: Oh gee, well Donkey Kong came out in 1981, so.... um... Really? Thanks! 27. I'm 27. (Sorry, I'm innumerate)
PROFILE: Well, I'm.... blonde! I like long walks on the beach, getting abducted, talking to mushrooms and just standing around all day in silly pink dresses. PINK!

HOBBIES: Getting abducted, talking to sentient mushrooms, gokart racing. I like to go racing with the giant turtle lizard guy who abducts me and the huge gorilla guy who used to abduct me and throw banana skins at them.

WHAT I LIKE IN MEN: Midgets are just so cute! And moustaches! I like unusual accents, they make me just go all gooey inside, and it'd be nice to find someone who is handy, like an electrician or something like that. I think the most important thing is that he'll come and get me when I get abducted, cos that happens a lot! Oh, and he must like mushrooms.

I've not drawn anything meaningful for a very long time. I really tried to this weekend, I felt like I really needed to be drawing something, anything, it didn't matter what, just something to keep me drawing. And I just found that I simply couldn't. I couldn't get any further than a couple of lines before I realized I had no idea what to draw and what I had done was utterly terrible.

It feels like it's just gone. I don't think I can draw anymore if I even wanted to.

I apparently got tagged weeks ago and totally failed to notice. Sorry!

I don't think I'll tag anybody but feel free to do this yourself too, and drop a note to let me know you did

So I've had this idea for a story I've wanted to write (it's an idea I've had for a few years ow actually) and I'd really like to turn it into a comic or maybe try and learn Blender and do it all in CG animation, or any of a number of grand ambitious plans. I even set up a private wiki to jot ideas down when I have them and keep track of what I'm doing with it.

The thing is I really want to have at least an outline of the complete story, the beginning, middle and end before I start progressing into doing anything with it, but I just seem to keep hitting this wall and have no idea where to go next. I don't want to abandon the idea because it's one I've grown quite fond of, and I think there's really some potential in there for at the very least something that somebody other than me would want to read, but I just keep running out of inspiration or good ideas, or keep writing to a point where the characters hit a dead end. Not the sort where they're in some kind of prediciment that I can't think of an out of, more the kind of situation where the story just runs out of steam and there's nothing propelling them to move on anymore. like there's a stage I get to where they could just all stay where they are and opt out of the story, as it were, with nothing resolved.

I tried the idea of writing out just a short list of things that need to happen and get an overview of the story, I've tried writing isolated scenes of things I want to occur with nothing preceding or following written, just to try and get that one scene down as a sort of anchor point or foundation I can build upon, but every time things just grind to a halt and I'm left thinking I have no idea where to go from where I am. Then when I come back in a month or two and read what I've written to see if I can pick up where I left off I just find myself thinking what I have written so far is rubbish and I should start over. I just can't seem to progress or really penetrate into my ideas in any meaningful way or get what I can picture in my head out in a way that makes any kind of sense or be an enjoyable read for anybody.

Maybe I ought to just accept the idea that I'm a godawful writer and leave it to other people to write things. Maybe I should instead of trying to come up with my own story just get somebody else to write a story for me that I can use as the basis for the comic/animation/whatever I want to do with it and just stick to the visual side of things, leaving the narrative up to somebody else. I know that can work, but I also know it can turn sour and go all to hell. I mean, look at Megatokyo, after Largo left it just became really really really slow-paced and not funny anymore. Or maybe there really is a good idea in there somewhere but I just can't get it out, and if I can find somebody to partner with who can give input and let me know what works and what sucks like a hoover then I could finally start getting somewhere.

I know some of you guys are well into the whole writing thing and I'd really appreciate any help and advice I can get at this point.
