My dream is to be a writer. I havent published anything yet, but I dont watn to give up on my dream. Im currently working on something now, but I havent found the inspiration to finish. How can I get my inspiration back and be able to finish it. I dont want my dream to just be a ... dream. If I can finish it the thing that scares me is getting it published. Will the publishing company accept it or will they reject it. Any advice you give me would be most welcome.

It depends on the quality of your work. It will also vary publisher to publisher. What one company throws out another will buy and publish. Once finished, you can submit it to numerous publishing companies. If it is a short story, you might consider submitting it to magazines.
You local library should have books on writing and publication; check those out. Most importantly, follow your dream. I have a friend that writes stories like crazy; sends them out month after month for publication, only to get reject notices month after month. But he doesn't give up. Maybe take a writing class at a local college? This might be what it takes to stir up the brain cells and give you new inspiration.

For now, don't think about being published. Write because you love to write. If, when you are done, it is something that must be shared with the world, then look into publishing.

If you don't proofread it more closely than you did this post you are going to be rejected. Spelling, your contractions, question marks after questions are just a few of your problems.
Either you are too lazy to be a successful writer or you need a remedial English course.
Sorry, just a bit of Simon Cowell style honesty.
