I'm pretty good in the writing department as far as prose, it's just that I'll sit down and have no idea what to write. Perhaps it's a creative problem, I just don't know. I cannot figure out any plot whatsoever. Specifically, for me, I like to read science fiction, so my goal is to come up creative science fiction plots. That seems impossible to me because, no matter how hard I try, I always end up conforming to some dumb cliche. How do you guys do it? Thanks. P.S. Why am I asking? Well, I read a book called Snow Crash recently by Neal Stephenson, and I decided I was going to write a novel/story/whatever that was a humorous cyberpunk themed kinda thing. But everything I think of just seems so cliche!
