Well i have a problem. I tend to leave me books right in the begining or middle. I tend to find a better idea and start over, i can never just write a book with no problem.ill get stuck, board, have a new idea,or ill think the book got boring, and i write fantasy or indian (captive sometimes) thoes are the things that intrest me. But its hard as heck doin fantasy cause there all the same. There is a bad guy and u have to stop him. But im real real creative and i can do it but i just keep getting stuck and i dont know how to stop that. So i have 2 questions
1)How do i stop that^^like, how can i make it an on going
story/and stop makeing a new story from scratch (ive left like
more the 20 stories cause i though of something better)
2)i read a lot a lot and i was wondering if its ok to take bitz and piezes of other books and put them into yours like names, places, plots,settings, problems, solutions etc. But like can u have a couple of the same names in ur book that is in someone elses book along with someone elses problem, and well u know just takeing things from other books putting them into ur own, but its still ur book ur makeing everything up..but is that ok? |

I found a tool that helped me. Writing Down the Bones, Freeing the Writer Within, from Natalie Goldberg.
Small fun chapters that bring you to a different world, in turn finding yourself. |
