Commitment Issues. (Support Group)

I searched, hope I'm not reposting. Lock if I am. =)

I can't be the only one. How many stories have you started or said you were going to start and then didn't? Here's a support group for you so you can get.that.story.done. We'll read, comment, subscribe, remind you, help you brainstorm, keep you going.

My story is Bryony and I need to commit to it.

What's yours?

Ghost. Ghost. Ghost. Ghost. Ghost. I have no idea where to go with it, and I'm only on chapter 1.

Do you have anything at all written yet?

for chapter two, no. chapter one is short as hell.
here it is.
thinking of just rewriting chapter one to make it easier to write chapter two.

Let's see, you could have chapter two as a killing scene, have Judy and Germaine get comfortable back home. Maybe start with that woman I'm guessig is her mom? Or something similar. Have Judy talk a lot so we can see just how mad Germaine is being driven. Don't worry about length if you're struggling with writer's block, that's not what's important. You can always add to it once you get back into the flow if you think you need to. The important thing is to keep writing and getting it out. Just get it posted.

You could also do a flashback scene. Write it in italicized words and give the reader sone insight to what brought Germaine back home. What happened between Judy and Germaine a week before they decided to go? Or the day of it? Let us see inside her head.

Does this help? If not I've got more ideas and I'd be glad to help you out in figuring out what's next. =)

This is a good idea. :3

Dreaming with a Broken Heart is my story, I would love it if people read, commented and subscribed, they're what motivates me into writing more. xD

yeah, that helps a lot. thank you. :3 i'll start writing and report back soon.

@the power of justice I'll go right now. =)
@STEVE looking forward to reading =)

Edit: @the power of justice I just finished reading it and it's great! =)

Oh, and guys, if you wouldn't mind, I need someone to advise me through my story Bryony. I need to commit to this, and plus I need help making it better haha.

This is a wonderful idea :D
Especially for me, as I'm a bit of a fail when it comes to finishing stuff :')

@landslide; I've read and commented on Bryony :) I really, really enjoyed it :D I think you've done amazingly well.

If anyone would mind helping me with Les Cygnes, I would be much obliged. I love the story (it's my favourite fairytale) and so the fact that something in my execution of it seems to fall a little flat is pretty upsetting.

So yeah. Umm, thanks in advance.

Omg this is amazing. the stories I can't seem to update right now, even though I really want to, are Innocence and Closure. ;-;

i'm trying desperatly and pouring my heart and soul into Elle Me Dit, and it's only chapter one. argh.

I need this thread so bad! I was just thinking today about all of the stories I need to update.

I got some serious issues with Ashes to Ashes and Night Angel.

And that's only two stories that I'm having trouble with. There are at least six more. No matter what I do, I just can't find it in me to write the next chapter. I try soooo hard, and it's not like I don't have the plots and ideas for them. There are just no words coming out.

So I'll help you guys out in the order you posted. Also, help each other out, it's what we're here for! =)

Yay, I'm glad there are so many people posting now. Can spread the help. =D

@Haven. I will be more than happy to help you with all of the stories you're struggling with as needed.

I posted a comment for you. =)

Technicolour Phase;:

Omg this is amazing. the stories I can't seem to update right now, even though I really want to, are Innocence and Closure. ;-;

For Innocence, I think you should go into what it is that he and his "father" are trying to do. You have it set and ready, now you just need to unconfuse us a little bit. Not too much though. That should lead you into the plot itself and get you set for the rest of the story.

For Closure, I think you should start the next chapter with them getting to the apartment. I think she should thnk she sees him again, or she should have a nightmare. You could take this to the dramatic "he raped me and got me pregnant" or you could have him come back. Or if you want to get it over with, you could have them get a wonderful phone call of "we think we caught him, can you identify him please" and then all is well because he's behind bars getting a broom shoved up his butt because that's what happens to rapists in prison. Do any of these help you? If not, I can come up with more. =)

What are you struggling with? I'm not sure how to help because you don't have anything posted. Maybe PM me what you have? I can read through it and give you some ideas on where to go and how to boost it up a bit.

Blackjack is kind enough to say below that she'll help you so feel free to PM her, respond here, etc.

I have this story that I worked my butt off on for the first chapter called, The Truth about the World and now I'm completely stuck on the second chapter! I know where I want the story to go but I'm just at an encompass.

I have a feeling this thread is going to be well used. I have one story that I started in middle school that ended up with between 20 and 30 chapters (can't remember the exact number) but it had no plot or ending whatsoever. I rewwrote some of it and now it's almost 20 chapters with still no end in sight. It sat in my stories for so long before I updated it again a couple days ago.

I gave one of my stories a crappy and cliche ending just so I could say it was done. I've been thinking about rewriting the ending or just adding a few chapters to it but I can't think of any new ideas for the life of me. *fail*

OH dear god, this is my haven. Out of all of my chaptered stories, I've only finished one. And personally, it was a terrible ending. IT should've gone a lot longer.

I get that too! Although, I think for me it's three parts laziness, one part lack of inspiration. I can be a sounding board if you'd like, I guess if you want to see if something fits in okay with the story or if you want to check the wording... I feel I haven't made myself too clear, but anyway, if you need help you can ask me
