I CAN’T SEEM TO TRANSCRIBE IDEAS I HAVE INTO WORDS ON PAPER. IS THERE SOMETHING I CAN DO TO HELP ME?
Mar 10th
It is not a matter of vocabulary or grammar. Its more or less about not being able to formulate the photos and ideas I have in my head into words.
I’m an extremely visual person. Thoughts come to me as photos without internal narrative. I just ’see’ it. So, whenever I try to write about what I see for various reasons (novel, game design document, script, etc.) the words fail to come. I can see the image vividly but whenever I DO make an attempt at describing it, it seems shallow and boring, nothing as epic as it comes to me.
I’d greatly appreciate any tips or sources that assist writers. I do not think its writer’s block because its not a lack of idea, but just an inability to formulate the ideas to words.
Thanks in advance to anyone whom offers help!
Everyone has been wonderful and I love each and each response, so I am unable to pick a ideal answer. Thus, I am putting it up to a vote. But no matter who gets the ideal answer, I have taken all answers to consideration and am now working on a method derived from all the input so that I can spill those creative ideas into something tangible. Thank you all again!
