Starting a new story.

<< < (2/4) > >>

I'm with you guys...it is hard to start something new!  I have an idea that I have written about 1 1/2 chapters on but I'm not sure exactly where I want to go.  I am sure this is why I always hate the beginning of my stories.  I get to know my characters better as I write them and get inside of their heads.

Good luck with your new ideas!  Maybe we need a bounce around thread?  Although, I'd imagine we already have one!!! 

mare:
Aww, yes, same here. That's why I don't like to post a new one unless I am at least three or four chapters ahead of myself.

At least I have made some progress. I have a title and one and a half pages done. LOL Still no idea about a summary though.

I guess the you can do it thread would be a good place to bounce ideas. Or we could always make another one. I have decided that this board isn't used enough. We should do more talking about fic in general darnit!

Sakabelle:
I am so bad at starting new stories..but I have so many ideas bouncing around in my head that it's hard for me to stick with one! My problem is that I usually have a good beginning in my head, and a good ending, but most of the middle part I get lost in and I have a hard time sorting out how to get my characters where I want them to go. It takes a lot of planning and thinking on my part to sort out how the story will develop once I get past the fun introduction chapter..

FrickingKaos:
Now that FYO is ending I can't come up with anything new and its frustrating me...I also have a hard time coming up with endings to stories. That's the main problem I have...summari es and endings. UGH

julilly:
I have no problem starting stories, or ending them. My problem is that bit in the middle. I'm always so anxious off the top to get to the end that fleshing out the middle is the hard part.
