im 14 and in the 9th grade. ive been writing in general for about 4 yrs on and off. ive been writing stories for the last 3 yrs i think.
this is how i brainstorm: when im inspired, i think of characters, their traits pasts and family. Then the conflict and how to build up the the conflict. If im thinking straight i MIGHT make and outline of the story. If i dont then i actually daydream the story so i can get a feel of what going on. For people who don't understand that, I basically make a movie in my head about the storty so i can better understand what will and should happen in the story.
In the last three yrs, i believe i've finished 3-7 short stories, no i don't write novels, I won't go that far until i can get passed short stories. for some reason, i can never finish a story. i can think of the beginning and the end, just nothing in between.
What tips do you have?
oh and one more thing. How do you deal with too many story ideas that you cant get out of you mind?
