Let me be the first to welcome you to Writing Forums, Dave. There will certainly be plenty of people around to give you advice, so don't be afraid to ask for help.

Hey Dave, I am just like you. I have so many stories running through my brain I can't sleep. The only advice I can give is just do it. One word at a time...you will have a chapter before you know it.

Dave, welcome to the forum. Strange, I just assumed those stories in my head were part of reality... I guess I will have to re-evaluate my cognitive features

Hello dave!

I just hate that!! i have so many ideas also.. but when it comes to writing it down its like some divine force is trying to stop me! the computer won't turn on, i have to do the laundry, i don't have a single piece of paper in the house, can't find a pen or pencil, have to feed the dog as soon as i sit down to write, STUDY!!! your exams are tommorrow!!!! (which in reality they are, i'm not supposed to be on the forum right now because of them, lol) but mommy dearest is away!!! when the cat is away the mice will play!!! hehe... watch, she'll walk in the door in like five seconds and find me....

anyways, welcome to the forum!!! hope we can be of help to you!!!

Bella

hi dave, welcome to the boards. i could help you if i had the answer to this problem. but no such luck. instead, i take the long road home where one story turns into 2 or 3. or plenty of note jotting happens and the actual story i started doesn't finish until much much later. but too many ideas are better than none.

see ya around

Thanx for your replies, It does my brain in, right now I could picture a full story in full detail, but as soon as I go to write it down on comp I get complete writers block, so ive come to the conclusion GOD hates me lol
