I have always wanted to be a writer. There is something about words and typing or writing them out that I love. Making my views apparent somewhere, somehow where they didn’t exist before.
The problem is this. I have no ideas. None. I cannot ever come up with a fiction idea. None.
I can write about myself. My feelings. The occurances, episodes, catastrophes, triumphs of my own personal life – but I cannot seem to create the same for a fictional character of my own creation. I can write opinions on things that strike me. But I cannot come up with an idea on my own.
I’ve always wanted to be a writer, and yet I’m not. It’s a dream that I don’t know how to fulfill.
I’ve had the same dream since I was a kid. I’ve sent some poems away… I also was told by my creative writing teacher in high school that I should write parodies- screenplays for movies like Blazing Saddles (LOL I’ll take it as a compliment). I’ve written several erotic pieces as well. But I don’t that anything is good enough to actually publish. Or even how to go about getting something to a publisher. And I’m not sure I’d like the disappointment of finding out they didn’t like my work.
I sure hope your dream comes to fruition. That would be wonderful! 🙂
