I love writing too, but I have writers block (lol). I love fiction; sci-fi, historical fiction, sci-fi, whatever. I especially love ideas with deep intertwining plot lines. Even the Metal Gear Solid series holds amazing writing and story. I wanna get better and whatnot. What do you suggest I do?

Also, are you in college? If so, where, and are you involved with writing there? You going for journalism? What year are you? Sorry for all the questions. :3

Later.

In Australia, we call it University. I go to Curtin University of Technology here in Perth. I'm in my first year of Creative Writing, with Literary and Cultural Studies as my minor. The course runs for three years.

As for writing tips, I'd say, have confidence in yourself. Show your writing to friends, family, teachers, strangers, get your writing circulating. Read as much as you can. Reading is great experience. Try to write as regularly as you can, especially when you're stuck. Try to run with simple ideas if you're lost for good ideas. Take a simple theme, such as 'musician' or 'early childhood' or 'foreign land' and just write and just extrapolate. The more you write the less you're likely to incur writer's block, from what I've found from experience.

Also, I play bass and make only decent techno songs. I love techno, but I love jamming on my bass too. I have a band but they don't respect me because, well, I'm the bassist. :P What do you play, if anything?

Lol yeah, the bass doesn't have a huge credibility, which is sad. I used to play classical guitar, now I occasionally jam around by myself. Also, classical piano, which I transferred on to keyboard, and now I produce electronic music with a small collection of synthesizers.
