    it's like forgetting the name of a friend or something - it's right on the tip of your tongue, but as long as you keep wrecking your mind about it, you'll never get past. Instead, just treat it like a little vacation. I keep getting from periods of creativity to periods of utter laziness; it's about a 6 month swing in either direction. And the thing I've learned is not to worry - it'll come back one way or another, and then I'll write like there's no tomorrow. I'm trying to stretch out everything I've produced in the productive months to bridge the months of inactivity, but that only works so-so, since I don't even care to post anything when I'm feeling lazy. Of course, sometimes you can run into a dead end on a story, and we call that writer's block as well, though it's more like a roadblock. I've got an easier time because most of my stories are quite short and self-contained, so the whole thing is pretty much laid out and I just need to sit down and write it. However, even with longer stories I've found the best way to write is to essentially treat it like a road movie: The main character has a destination. How does she get there? Who does she meet along the way? What landmarks does she pass? What may possibly happen on those landmarks? Who are her enemies? What are her strenghts? What are her weaknesses? That alone might get you some ideas on how to proceed with the story. Q: What sites have you used? What are soe pros and cons of different sites? What features do ...
    different sites offer? What are some pitfalls to avoid? A: Okay, here's what I've learned: I use ASSTR for my main site, because they're the most liberal and the only ones that allow me to post any and all of my stories, no matter what the content. Also, they essentially give free webspace for writers so you can make your own website there (seems it's html only, though). The feedback there is... mixed. First off, they don't have a comments system (unless you implement your own), so feedback is limited to email only. They also don't have ratings or any other way to sort stories other than alphabetically and by latest posted, so the most exposure you get is whenever you post something new. There is not a lot of feedback - sometimes none at all for months, then a few emails per week - but it's definitely the most interesting feedback I get. People writing lengthy praises or asking for an inclusion in their stories; ASSTR is pretty much the only site I get that kind of request. Then, I publish on Sexstories. I get a lot more reads there than on any other site (currently three of my stories are among the most read ones with more than 4 million reads just for those alone). They sort by rating (simple percentage of good vs. bad votes) and I get (relatively) many comments too. The rate is about 1 vote per 100 reads and 1 comment per 1000 reads. If you have a following, it'll be more. The downsite is that it's troll infested. Anons will downvote your stuff viciously for no reason at all and ...
