I wrote 4 stories that only took me a day to write each of them.I had the stories in my head and I just typed away like a obsess writer. I have a passion for writing and would love to do it as a career, but I don't know any publishers or writers. I want to make them into screenplays but just don't know how to go by doing it.I created a horror,fantasy,science fiction love story and erotica. Is this natural for someone to write such quality stories in such little time. Am I the next Stephan King?I also wrote children stories and currently working on a black barbarian story...I won 1st place and second place in the Jacks essay contest in MN and I got an a in English comp..

This happens to a lot of writers because we are bursting with ideas. The more you write the more you want to write. But you do reach a point where you are not as prolific as you once were. Winning 1st place is great. Just keep working at it. There are software programs for screen plays that will help you along the way. Getting your work known is tough as many writers find out. You will need to research how to get your work seen. Try opening a website where you work can be read and maybe it will resonate with an audience who will be willing to put their money behind it.

I'd say you're talented. You're the next.......whatever your name is. Not Stephen King, though. You could be better, ya never know what the future holds.
Anyway, I think you should send your stories or movie scripts to Hollywood or some place like that. I had a friend I went to high school with; he wrote out an entire movie script of a Batman version, then sent it straight to Hollywood and they liked it, so they paid him a load of money! Enough to buy a car or two, then moved to a nicer house with his parents. He was only about 15 or 16 at the time.

I don't think your gift is unnatural. Paul McCartney woke one morning with the words and music to "Yesterday" playing in his head, wrote it down in ten minutes: one of the greatest tunes ever. Jack Kerouac is said to have written "On the Road" in several weeks on a long roll of paper. Many artistic people get "bursts" of energy and it flows. Sometimes the muse is missing and the well is dry for a spell. Take advantage of this well, perhaps focus your energies...maybe work on a longer piece of fiction that takes greater thematic and character development. My thought would be to funnel it into one good work for now. And keep reading good writers.

I think you are perfectly wonderful, I wish I could write as quickly as that. I got it in my head but it never makes it to paper the way I see it in my head. I found online a self-publishing place, it's cheaper and you don't need an agent - it's called Trafford Publishing. Email Kiersten Rivers at kiersten@trafford.com tell her you got her name from Heather Campbell. Or simply look up publishing online.

Everyone thinks that thier writing is the ****. Whenever I write I think the piece is awesome. Leave the scripts alone for a month, come back and read them and you will think otherwise. Then revise them and you will truly have a worthy piece of work.
If you are very confident about your work,send them to the appropriate publishers. They will be more than honest with you.

Go back to high school and lean the basics of grammar, literature and typing.
Normally for a question like this I would ask to see examples of your work, but it was too painful getting through your question.
Submitting trash will prevent an editor from ever looking at anything with your name on it. Wait till you are ready, get friends who will be honest even when it hurts.

Don't know if you are a natural because i never read any of your work but I do know that there is a computer program that translates novels into screenplays with very little work.. just some filling in the spaces and editing.. the name of it is on the tip of my tongue.. if i think of it i will let you know.

I'm a natural at songwriting, with a similar process, so I can see how you might be a natural!
