Here's another for when you're (non-biologically) blocked....
Describe your surroundings. Write it down.
Now write it like you're writing the start of a romance story.
A Sci-fi story.
A horror story.
Write three separate paragraphs with each of the three genres in mind. They should sound different, since you're writing with different tones in each. If they don't, think about your focus on the setting you're trying to create.
This is wonderful if you have a hard time with setting tone. It's all about word choice.

When I'm blocked, I like to do writing exercises.
The one that I've used the most is about character development. You write 100 facts about a character in a list. Twenty come pretty easily. Fifty, you're reaching for. By the time you get to 100, you really do have a character with depth.
I love to do this for secondary characters that I want to make interesting.
Do you like writing exercises? Would you share ones that have worked for you?

Thank you I'm dedicated to learning the writing craft. I'm finding using dialogue to convey the characters attitudes is more effective than a narrative. I agree with you that action scenes should be short descriptive sentences. I find that the longer almost poetic descriptions are better suited to first person reflections or establishing the mood of a scene.
Reading your work is almost educational in itself. My strength is in story telling. My weakness is in mechanics. I find reading my stories aloud helps in the edit. When I'm alone of course. Lol
Aww, Chuck, thank you.
I read my stories aloud before I publish them, too. I also read the dialog back and forth to try to make sure it isn't stilted.
I do love those classic books with the beautiful prose. I love to read those aloud, too, just for the love of language. But you can't write that way. The modern audience doesn't typically have the patience for 120 words to say, "It was a time like any other time."
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."

Quote by seeker4
Usually about the third run-through of a story, I find myself tossing large chunks of writing because I realize there is no point to it being there. That said, sometimes you need to get down to that level of detail to explain a scene or set a certain mood. So, as above, it isn't necessarily always wrong to have a lot of detail, but you also need to make sure that the detail is needed to develop plot, character, and mood and isn't just filler.
I agree. I think that also goes to point one in the article above about using the setting in more than one way. In many genres (Gothic, horror, Urban fantasy) the setting is almost another character and really cements the tone of a story. Check out the winner of the Gothic Competition; I think it's just a beautiful use of setting to set tone.

I have a problem with, when to use a colon. Does it really? If so, please tell me when use it.
A colon? Does this help?

My favorite punctuation may be the semi-colon. I way overuse it to string short sentences together.

I found this article about seven broad-stroke ways that you can improve your story-telling.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-noll/7-craft-lessons-every-wri_b_3920676.html
The only point I disagreed with was point seven.
There is no magic to writing in short sentences. In fact, I think if you use too many of them, you get a staccato feel and an inability to vary the pacing (short sentences are great for action, less so for description, in my opinion). Poetic language only works if it doesn't get in the way of the story.
Avoiding the chronology trap is something I have to remind myself of. The reader doesn't care what's going on every second. Nor is it important to the story how many steps it is to the bathroom....
Anyway...enjoy. I hope getting a reminder of the basics helps you as much as it does me.

Done as planned dominance, I find it very exciting. However, in that case, I'm not usually asking for it and we aren't having sex. The spanking is a thing in and of itself. And PrincessC is right... I'm turned on by the power as much as the act itself.
During sex, I'm not in to the Daddy/little girl thing. However, if my ass gets smacked because they are just so into the sex that they're smacking me to speed me up (or just to say, !), that's a turn-on because of their enthusiasm.
I like the pain-pleasure thing but it has to be gradual. For me, pain-pleasure is usually something more stringent than a bare-handed spanking.

Quote by Dilettante
Not my experience but my best guess is that the man has ceased pursuit of the woman (for whatever reason) and the woman then sees no need to look after herself and/or the relationship. It's a chicken and egg problem, really.
If the man's appetite stays high and the woman's wanes, I wouldn't think the woman's care of herself or the relationship is involved. Although in my case, I've always had the higher sex drive that more sustained, whether I was with a man or a woman. So, maybe I am the problem.

What's the most amount of different guys cum you have had in your pussy within 24 hours...without any of them knowing about one another ?
Are you looking for a volume?
Like, fifteen guys, about a half cup, and I think the last five were suspicious at the squishing.

I loved the Firefly theme.
X-files worked for me, too.
Flintstones.
The Friends theme, because once I was in a room of people, the Rembrandts came on softly in the background, and without anyone saying anything, everyone in the room clapped at the same time with the music. Then we all laughed. It was a strange and beautiful moment. ;)
