      I know it's been months but I have kind of the opposite problem. I sort of vaguely have a beginning, I know how I want most of the middle story to go/be about, but the ending escapes me! I know it's because I myself am unsure on the right answer/message for the themes I would implement in the story [if I ever wrote it, which rn I doubt it], but nevertheless no conclusion is satisfying enough for me.
      I think this is why some shows or books are affected by the "great story, meh ending" syndrome, they push past their writing block hoping they'll figure it out by the end but they never do. Ugh.

    • @nicoleabrahao1026
      @nicoleabrahao1026 Рік тому +5

      @@LoreCatan What helps me figure out the ending is not deciding "how" it ends, but "when" it ends. Like "Harry Potter series end WHEN the big villain is defeated." It seems obvious, but whenever I have trouble figuring out an ending, thinking in terms of "when" always helps. When you decide the event that it's going to be your "when it ends" scene, that's not much that's going to happen afterwards so you basically got the ending of your story. My problem is still to figure out the middle. 😅 Any thoughts?

    Writer problems/habits that most writers have (IMO)
    1.Either super focused, or not focused at all.
    2. Zone ing out all the time
    3.Getting mad at loud noises when you are super focused
    4. Creating a book inspired playlist because why not
    5.having to Google your characters description because your image of them in your head disappeared.
    6. Googling names. First names, last names, middle names.
    7.Procrastination. That's it. Just Procrastination.
    8. Writing 10 chapters one day then writing a paragraph the next.
    9. Thinking ahead of the scene you are writing, then snap back to reality and try to quickly write it all down before you forget.
    10. Many, many, possible name titles, yet none of them are JUST right.
    11. Doubting your desicion to make the main character fall in love with their second love in the book instead of the first because of how charming they turned out to be.
    12. Using any word that ends in 'ly' to describe how someone said something.
    13. When you can't remember a word that you want to use, but then suddenly remember it a day later.
    14. Not wanting anyone to read your rough draft because, it's well, ~rough~
    15. Killing off that one side character because things needed spicing up🌶
    16. Getting really good at typing/writing

Right before the duel the Main charcter who falls says they will sacrifice themselves to save love interest. Two ways here
      Way 1
      Love interest sacrifice themselves and duel is over and Main charcter is saved but Is forever in sadness
      Or
      Way 2

      Two ways
      Way 1
      The king says no and the Love interest dies in the hands of the Main charcter and main charcter wears to avenge them and there’re entire life they try to Kill the king Mc dies

      I was the same back then. I'd tell my friend of a fanfiction idea- they'd be all for it- and then I'd either forget about it or get bored and start another project.
      I wanted to publish my own novel and I was really heartbroken since most of my stories were fan fictions on already existing sources. It took a long time before I got an original idea, and it took over a year to completely write it.
      Which sounds like a lot, but then again I took a lot of breaks (school and overall being uninspired). I learned the hard way that sometimes it's best to push a project aside if you aren't feeling inspired to write it. The best parts of your novel are when you're inspired, so being uninspired while writing would make the story itself feel plain and boring.
      It's all about the journey. Some days will feel horrible, some days will feel awesome. You just gotta push ahead and keep that project in your head till the whole idea comes to you.

    I had problems with writing in the sense that I almost thought I was cursed. I would be able to get 3 chapters in and then just… stop?

Only recently have I finally been able to write and one story I blazed through 20+ chapters in 10 days
    Only after COVID hit did I realize the possibility that I had undiagnosed ADHD and even more recently the possibility of undiagnosed depression. I can only hope one those things get handled I’ll finally be able to write my stories and explore the characters I really want to

      People like that are so agitating. I know it’s been a while since you posted this comment but DO NOT let that discourage you. You’re allowed to write. Just because you enjoy something doesn’t mean you’re bad about this. Your book will be loved and if not by anybody then by me! I will spread the love of your book when it’s published, I’ll buy you copies, and I’ll force my friends to as well. Your writing is just as important as everyone else’s stories. I’ve been writing for 5 years and, honestly, the best advice I could give is to NEVER listen to people like that. Write your books. Write your stories. Don’t you ever get discouraged because someone told you you’re a bad writer. You’re allowed to love a craft. I hope you do find your self love in the things you create because writers are truly one of the most creative. It’s difficult to enjoy fantasies inside our heads whilst putting them on paper and publishing them for people to enjoy. People WILL love your book especially if you pour your heart, soul, and love into it. You’re a great writer and never let anyone tell you any different 🫶🏻
      Side note: every single writer experiences the things you do. It doesn’t make you any less “good” than other authors. You can always improve, but it doesn’t mean that you’re bad

The background for this novel is a rebellion after the king's assassination and the crown prince, and since the next in line to be king is still young. The realm wants justice; everything is in disarray after a declaration from a noble house for an independent kingdom, while the loyalists lack a king to rule. The second is the crown prince's bride, who takes the title of regent and leads the war against the traitors, but finds resistance due to her gender.

    Ok, I have a story in mind I would like to share even though probably no one cares.
    In a massive kidnapping in a small town in Maine, 20 kidnapped teenagers wake up in a big mansion in the woods, with exactly 20 rooms. No idea how or why they are there. No past memories, no phones, no way out. And the worst part… every night, the teens are locked in their assigned rooms by themselves. The rooms only have a mirror to stare into, but it gets worse. The kidnapper is with them, disguising as a teenager, living in the mirrors, ready to kill and take anyone who they please… The way you know you know you’re gonna die is if you get blood on your mirror. Then, you get stabbed and pulled into the mirror. In the morning, they have to find who is missing. Once they do, the mirror can replay their deaths… Then, they have chats to figure out who it is. Then.. the accused person is sacrificed. Can they do it? Or is fate sealed?
    I call it, “Blood On The Wall”!
    I had so many problems, including me wanting to harass my pet, look outside, and the occasional writer’s block.

I also already have the bad guy's motivations as to why he's going against the MC. I also have an idea on what the bad guy is gonna do if he were to get his hands on the ancient powers. Let's just say... He doesn't exactly like mankind.

    Earlier today, I was editing my novel when I suddenly had an idea for a word in my paracosm’s language, which somehow led to me researching the Earth’s carrying capacity and ideal population and even asking ChatGPT to help me determine the population of said paracosm.
    Eventually, my mom came into my room with lunch, I told her to take it out because the smell was making me hungry, she said that I should eat if I was hungry, and I told her that I couldn’t eat because I was busy researching the Earth’s carrying capacity. I’m so glad that my entire family is made up of nerds.
    Also, ChatGPT told me “in the millions or tens of millions” which is surprisingly low, but I suspect it has to do with ideal population (as in, everyone being able to live middle class with the world’s resources) and my paracosm being a utopia made to foil the dystopia of modern-day Earth.
