just a few depressing thoughts

i've been on this site for like 2 1/2 years and all i've been doing is read. sometimes i want to pick up a pencil and write down my thoughts when i have ideas for a story but i get hold back by my doubts and worries that every newborn author would get. i don't think my writing is bad, nor great, it's just average.

my main problem is mostly motivation and inspiration. for years, i have hold a mini notebook to write down my story ideas whenever it comes to mind. later hoping that i could perhaps turn it into a story and upload it on here. but no matter how hard i would work on it, it will never happen. when the words are written down and i am finished with the first chapter, all inspiration are gone and i have no motivation to continue this unfinished story. i'm slightly depressed that i will never be able to finish all of these endless stories that i have created, all with good ideas and back stories, all to end up stored away in the back of my mind. it's really a fearful thing for me as my inspiration to write plummets down to the deep void so, i hope one day i will be able to complete it.

I can't speak for everyone, but writing here was the first writing I'd ever done. There's no right or wrong way. Write what fits YOU.

Don't give up! It happens to me a LOT! If you don't feel like you want to post them, you can always just leave them in draft form until you've written more. Good luck!

First hello and how are you ? Secondly please don't say that , if you really want to publish your story then do it ! Even if not complete yet , you never know mybe the inspiration will come to you , days after or hours after or even after a few seconds ! But if you just keep to yourself it will just hurt even more ..... mybe ? Beside you never know if you didn't try ! Mybe you will even regret not publishing it even earlier ( I was at the same situation as you , but someone just someone give me words that motivated me to write a story here and it actually helped and i am planning to publish next month ) so yeah i really don't know but in the end it is your choice but i hope my words helped you as it helped me . ( sorry for the long replay and sorry for my broken English ! )
