I love writing so much. In my mind my stories can be super long, but I can never get real length out of stories on paper so I always stick with little short stories. Poetry, on the other hand, is completely out of my grasp.
i'm the same way. i have epic stories in my head. but when i go to write them down--theres just no way i'm getting all of it down. thats why i like to write screen plays, scripts and synpsis of longer stories, get the key chain of events down, not exactly every word of dialoque, but the important stuff. i write a lot lately. mostly at work. also, i can't write on the computer. it's gotta go written down with a pencil. thats just me.
its true. writing on the comptuer is basically just for reports and thing that you HAVE to do. but writing down in a journal or paper, that's a story cuz that's your feeling.
I have had this story brewing in my head for years, and it keeps getting refined. So lately, instead of just trying to write it and failing once again, I've been organizing the main ideas and outlining it pretty much.
same here. thats the way to do it. i've found more success and covered more ground in recent weeks, than i have in years.
Yeah..I think you gotta organize all the ideas into something coherent first.
