    Hi

    Hi everyone I'm CrystalDreamer59. I've been into creative writing since I was about in middle school. Unfortunately I tend to go from one idea to another. I have many ideas at the moment, but right now I really want to write a story about a teenage girl who lives in a utopia world, but I can't think of any ideas for this story to make it interesting. That's why I joined this forum so I can get ideas from other writers on how to improve my writing. I hope you will be nice and friendly to me.

    Hi Crystal. Welcome to WF. Stick around, and I'm sure you'll get tips on how to improve your writing.

    I used to have this problem as well, but I've gotten better at staying focused in recent years. I suspect it's a matter of ones personal writing style maturing in time, so eventually you should be able to narrow it down to the real keepers.

    I have many ideas at the moment, but right now I really want to write a story about a teenage girl who lives in a utopia world, but I can't think of any ideas for this story to make it interesting.

    Well, you know what the basic concept is, so that's a start. If you lack ideas for a plot, then what is your reason for wanting to tell that story in particular?
    ”But the best part is, he's alone one night and he feels a shadow overtake him from behind, and he knows that Conan is standing behind him with a large axe. And Conan tells him: 'Just stay there and write! And if you don't do exactly what I tell you, I'm going to cleave you down the middle.'”

    -John Milius, on Robert E. Howard.

    I want to write this story to show people how I think the world should be.
