Writers Block: The Thread of Doom

[Derek Reese]

I've never used them. I mean I've used reviewers, that aren't fans of the material and that are, but I generally rely on the same people to go over my stuff.

[rossbondreturns]

Well I have a total of 5 and 4 of them uses these boards...2 of them are IMers Chatting over IM with them is fantastic.

[Derek Reese]

Definitely sounds like it helps you cover all bases.

[rossbondreturns]

They can be a bit of a cruth so like any other writer sometimes I just ignore their suggestions and just keep right on writing.

I'm now writing something that's been constructed in my head for years.

The great Danny Dyson Terminator Briefing.

[rossbondreturns]

40 Plus Minutes!!

And now the remaining just under 2 hours becomes All Future War and Future Stuff all the time...I think.

[Derek Reese]

Congrats Ross!

[rossbondreturns]

Thanks Man.

Lord...it's so GOOD to get past all that buildup...I mean I reread the script and it moves really well but it's taken forever seemingly to write.

Now I get to be full on creative and take the story "Balls out" and full on into the future.

And the rest should move faster.

Keep those Ghost Readers on their toes. lol

[Derek Reese]

lol Very awesome news!

[rossbondreturns]

One of the greatest temptations is to just get it done.

I never intended to make fans/readers of my scripts wait on a cliffhanger ending since 2006!

That would drive me insane- I hate cliffhangers- but they're the only logistical way to make my trilogy work. So to be almost 1 hour into T5...and have the story flowing like this is very very welcome. It means it's almost time for an even better cliffhanger ending.

[Derek Reese]

Know what you mean and understand entirely.

[rossbondreturns]

The blessing/curse right now is that things are flowing suspiciously well in that it's almost too good to be true...I keep stoping to read it over but all seems to be well.

Very strange

[Derek Reese]

Gotta take what you can get done as it goes and just go from there. Always has to be those bumps though sadly.

I'm stuck on something here guys on my sequel to the Terminator/Spidey crossove I wrote and posted for ya'll. IF you haven't read it, I'd encourage you to check it out

Sooooooo if you haven't read my first story and don't want any spoilers, then don't read below. I have warned you.......








This evil duplicate of Cameron is made up of adamantium. In the comic book world that's an INDESTRUCTIBLE metal. Nothing...literally nothing...can destroy it. The idea is that just like with Cromartie in the tv series, this one gets back up, reactivates, and recovers its head. My problem is that originally it was getting its commands from the villain from the first story Alistaire Smythe but the idea I want to go with is that it is no longer following Smythe's commands, it is a full fledged terminator with AI......but unlike other terminators, this one was NOT sent back by skynet with a specific mission. So what exactly does a terminator w/o a specific mission do? Or is there another way I can solve this problem?

[rossbondreturns]

Well atlhough a Terminator may not have a specifi mission it has alot of detailed information which it can use to formulate a mission plan so to speak. Targets of intrest and opporunity. As a writer I certainly wouldn't have it just stopping.

Formulating its own kill list.

Making its own mission.

[mab100184]

Good idea....I think I know where to go with it next.

Thanks
