It's Always Something: Writers Block


I have writers block. It happens every few years, and I don't think there's anything I can do about it except continue writing. Wait, before you think I just contradicted myself, give me a moment to explain something.

Writing is like anything else, the more you do it, the better you'll be (at least in theory!). I used to keep a 'journal of thought' at arms length, where I would scribble down ideas that would emerge from stray thoughts, dreams, conversations… I had to write these things down because they were always fleeting, like a partially obscured road sign on a speed trap.

I still practice this, to a limited degree. I have several new ideas gestating, but none of them have that spark, that inexplicable 'something' that compels me to write it down. There is nothing quite like the feeling you get when you've conceived a new story idea, one that inspires you to quickly hammer out a synopsis, and then a script. I have a lot of ideas, but they very rarely inspire me.

Lately, I haven't even had ideas.

Contest! NightGig Turns 4!


NightGig Studios is proud to announce its 4th anniversary on the interweb. This milestone was celebrated by the Domain name temporarily becoming unregistered and parked. (Hey, how else are we going to remember the actual day we got the Domain Name in the first place?), Problem fixed, and to celebrate were having a contest!
