I've been told I have a great imagination and I plan lots of stories to write but I've never done it. I struggle getting it done on paper. Just wondering if anyone has any tips.
I know it's a bit of a stupid question but oh well <:o)

I wouldn't say it is a stupid question, I just fear that I might give a stupid answer. :o)
I would say to try and seperate your different ideas. Sometimes if you use all of the ideas, it is a bit much. So first off, seperate them. Then I would choose the idea that I had most personal experience with. The one you know most about. Like if one of your ideas was about scuba diving, and one was about horseback riding, and you were an avid horseback rider, choose the latter idea.
You need to formulate what the main parts in your plot is going to be. Then you need to firgure out which parts you want to come in at what time in your stories. That way your story does not get mangled when you start writing it. Then you need to fill in the gaps of your timeline with dialogue and descriptions and, voila! you are done!

Imagination is great, it leads to creative writing. Try the library for books on story writing. Do the one relating to stories you want to write about, they are NOT all the same. Then plot out your story idea and keep writing until you feel the story ends.

Present! Try to organize what you do. List your stories in spearate folders, ideas, outlines, any writing you do on the ideas/outlines. Set up your market research as well - where can you offer your stories, what will be offered by editors, what they expect to see. This may have the effect of galvanizing your work on the stories themselves, to actual get them tendered to someone to see the result. Both from personal experience and what I've read, be prepared for a significant amount of rejection, but pay attention to the rejections, as many will give you lessons on how to improve (both in your story and in your presentation of the story to potential buyers). Good luck!

Stop trying to write stories... just write... the same way an artist just sketches before a painting... Just write whatever you want in a notebook... Stories will form themselves as you keep writing...

While you write stop thinking what other people will think about it and just write for the heck of it. (I've been there so don't deny it).
Once you finish it then re read and you'll see its not as bad.
Concentrate on just WRITING and nothing else. Think that you are writing for yourself and nobody else!!
Hope I helped

Set a time every day to write without distractions. Focus is key.
