Young Writers Society

Simple actions are a problem. I know it sounds weird, but things like opening doors, moving from location to location (usually short distances, like from a room to the car), and anything involving getting ready in the morning (like picking out stuff to wear or something). I seem to want my characters to pass up normal life and just get to an event or scene that's more "worthwhile." Yeah I know, I told you it was weird.

Oddly, I love the romance genre. I love the chemistry between the two lovers, but guess what is tough? Dialogue. I have no idea how to write this and make it an entrance to a sex scene, or an entrance to a tearful confession. Gah!

I have problems sticking with my stories. I always toss em out, even if I think they have potential. It's a constant argument in my head, to continue or not continue. I think the problem is that I have so many ideas and the ones I don't choose are always, like, beating me up about it, telling me to choose them and stuff. Ha. Well, that was kind of a strange way to describe that, but that's my problem.

For me it's just the beginning, and the middle, and the end... I can get the idea, but actually putting onto paper and creating the story is hard. Also, I've always wanted to write mystery ever since I read 'And Then There Were None', but I'm not clever enough to do that. Grr. I have a billion stories parading and whirling in my head but the percentage of them I got onto paper is about 0.07%.

Basically, I can never keep writing, or I keep changing everything in the story until it's almost completely different than the original idea...and then I change it again because I thought of another idea I like better...

I have serious problems with that...

Endings. As Jare said, they're a pain. I've finished a total of two stories in my lifetime and they all had crappy endings because I just wanted to finish them.
