I must agree with you. If I know something is going to smell like shit, we'll all know its a lie. I try to atain anything from my stories from real life or find someone or ask someone. I'm a method actor, part of my style is I'll mentally and/or physically (Depending on situation) act it out or role play it in my mind so I get in the right mind zone, I try not to like my online gimmick or real lifeself get in the way. I'm just blocked mentally, its like I need a claymore or C4 to get past it, but I just cannot. I'm trying to get on with my smut fiction and finish it, put a bullet in its head and let it go. I'm stuck. In my Alt. DBZ I'm stuck I know what I want to do but I cannot muster the strength. If I've RPed like my story DEMONS, I can easily continue/bring it closer to the end, however it's an EPIC story, in otherwords it'll end up being 50+ chapters and WELL over 150,000 words, the only version of War and Peace. Method acting is the only way to go. I act out my characters down right to the dot. That's partically how I can write some things good, but I know I can do better, if I can find out how much SAT's are outside of a high school class, I need to take them and enroll. HOPEFULLY I still have my GI Bill, I paid into it for 10 months.
