What do you do when you've got writers block?

Postby CaTaClYsM » Wed Jan 22, 2003 9:57 pm

what do you do when you can't find the right song, or have trouble just getting an AMV idea together?

I think of another idea, and if the original pops back into my mind it usually works itself out then.

I've always got enough ideas to go around. The strongest ones are the ones I actively pursue source material for, although "Yuji's Defense" came about after I already bought the first volume of Blue Gender.

I'm with Misty--I never begin work on a project unless I have a song and visual combination in mind.

Let it sit, eventually the next thing will come to me, generally this doesn't happen when making the video save for the instrumental when I just use trial and error. but for actual planning I'll just let it sit a while and eventually it'll come to me.

Don't you mean jerk it off? (ahahaha, I'm so witty :roll: )

I usually turn on the radio and listen to random music until an idea pops into my head.
