Hello,
Really don’t know where to begin. I’m a 35 yr. old stay at home mom that has always had a passion for writing. My whole life I knew my mother’s raising and believe me it was HORRIBLE! When we tell people my moms story they can’t believe she is the person who she is today. LOVING, CARING, COMPASSIONATE!! I too have been through a lot in my life. And I feel as though a story about these things would inspire so many people. Have some started just need more of a guidance.My daughter wants to go to school for writing and I think it would be FANTASTIC with my daughter and mother and me all writing..
Thank You!!!

Thank You!!!

Hi .

Your advice makes alot of sense but i have just 1 question…..

What If you know exactly what you want to write but you can not get out the true feeling of it on paper because the person i would like to write about is my ex partner the one i still have longing feelings for but i really do not know how/were to start plus i do not know if it would be long enough due to we were only together for 2 and hlf years.
i still talk to him yes but……i no longer know how he goes about his life he is a very closed emotional person but in alot of ways he inspires me so much.
The feelings i have but yet hide away is such…..well i don’t know just exactly how to explain it.
But he as learnt me such alot and 1 of the main things is how to accept myself for who i am and how to think positivly not negativly but i just don’t know how to start the writing
Just wondered if any advice off anyone really would help i’d be grateful for anyones advice or ideas

Uh, hey.
I’m only thirteen and I’m really keen to start writing a book. I’ve started a page about a girl who is on the run from these people who want her dead. But I don’t have the time. And I have trouble with names….

Hi Lisa,

I enjoyed your advice and maybe you can help me along the way. I have always dreamt of writing. I actually started two and never quite completed it. Before I started, it seems that I have all the words for the event, characters and places, all built up in my head, but will go blank after some pages. In the process I have come to learn like you said, how hard it is to put something on paper.

May you can help.

Ann

I love to write and all but then i get started on a big book project and then half way through i start to think the whole idea is stupid. I start another book and the same thing happens. I have like twenty unfinished novels sitting around my house. But i get really good ideas and cant put them onto paper

I feel like a ton of lead is on my shoulders, as i have with in me, a book which I am struggling to write.
The time that I have to work on my book is decreasingly lower than other peoples expectations.
I got kicked out of school for not shaving at grade three, and have been struggling ever since.
I believe that my book would help many people, and at the same time help my self

Any one have any positive ideas.?

Thank you sincerly .

Harry
