Glad I could be of some help.

It sounds like you’re getting a bit overwhelmed with trying to capture the magnificence of the world around you.  And that’s exactly what makes our job as writers so hard, because it’s one thing to have a beautiful, perfect idea in your head, and a completely other thing to try to put it down…[Read more]

Good morning! (At least its morning for me)

This happens to me all the time. People think writing is easy but it isn’t, and this is a common struggle we all face as writers. It seems like I either have a thousand different ideas in my head for 6 different plot ideas or I can’t even think of a way to describe how someone is walking.

Hey Andrew, from the many want-to-be authors or writers I’ve talked with, this seems to be a common difficulty. People have so many ideas that it seems that one of these things happen:

They aren’t able to pick on of their ideas and just keep jumping from idea to idea.

They try to shove too many ideas into one story.

Spoilers of yet-unpublished books aren’t uncommon in writing forums; I think most writer-readers understand and aren’t especially bothered by it. Just-for-fun books are great, though; I should write more of those, lol.
