I Have Ideas

When I Tried to Write

A few minutes ago I sat down to try and write a story. This what happened (what I wrote):

This is a story, written by a man, who has never written a story before. In fact, he is so terrified to write his story (for fear of screwing up) that he is perpetually procrastinating the task of writing even a sentence. He sits in front of a computer, his hands on a keyboard, and ideas come rushing to his head, but he is afraid to write. He is afraid to face the criticism of himself, and even if he feels he could produce something he deems admirable, he fears the criticism of others. Having never written a story before, he does not know what to expect. Will his dialog be dull? Will his characters be boring? Will his plot be unexciting? Or could everything string itself together and create a wonderful masterpiece worthy of a prize? He does not know, so he does not write. He is scared.

When I sat down to write, all I had was that first sentence. After I wrote the first sentence the rest started coming. Instead of producing a story like I had sat down to do, I believe I gained some insight into myself.

Has anyone else ever had something like this happen?

Writing My Book: The Ideas

Hi…

I said I was going to write a book and I did not come ill prepared. I actually have some ideas for my books! I could just spill my guts out and tell every idea I’ve come up with thus far, but I don’t believe all of them are good… So here are the ones that I think could be good enough to write.

• Happiness – I would like to explore the subject of happiness, to see if I can find what the difference is between the extremely happy and the depressed.
• Computer takes over the world – Yes it’s been done many times before. But I figured that it would be interesting to do this story from the view of the computer, which I don’t think has been done before.
• How to make websites – Another one that has been done many times before, but I think I could fine something could bring to the table.
• Psychology – So this is the most thought out story I have. Basically its about a psychology student who discovers how to influence people and eventually he ends up having a great deal of power. Problem with this idea is that I don’t know how to get a plot in it, it’s more of just a concept.
• How to write a book – or at least how I wrote a book. This probably will not actually be a book, just a series of blog posts here.

That’s all I have right now, that and zero pages written on any of them

I’d love to hear what you think of these, please tell me in the comments!

I’m Going To Write a Book

Hey…

I’ve decided to write a book, or maybe not (we will see if I give this up in a week or so…). I have a few  ideas, but I haven’t decided on anything concrete. The ideas I have range from short stories to full blown novels to how-to books. There is no way I could write them all, and I will probably post some of the ideas here. I would like everyone to be able to read my books, so I will probably make them free, and I will post a link to them when they’re ready to be read.

Hope someone will like my books…

Bye.
