Thread: Writing partner??

i may have asked this before, i may be thinking of another forum. lol

I have so many ideas, I'm just really scatterbrained about em' ( i write them down in little outlines and bits of thoughts about them) and i think i would get them done better if there was someone to kind of put some of the pieces together and tell me if i'm going a little off ( if that makes sense) especially if they tell me i can't do something in an idea because I'll go through all kinds of senarios in my head to work around it ( I'm a puzzle person )

I hope this all makes sense. lol

so, what should i do?

I think I get what you're saying. You want someone to work through your ideas with you and make sure you round them out and have no plot holes or anything.

You can usually get help like that right here on the forums. Maybe not someone to physically organize your notes for you, or work through your story in baby steps -- those are things you'll have to learn yourself as a writer. But once you post a story and ask for critique, people will tell you when you're "going a little off".

Besides that, I recommend keeping one notebook/folder/jump drive for all your notes, so you can find them when you need them.

see now i was to busy to try and actually ask a question i forgot the rest of what i wanted to say..grrr....yeah that was part of it, but i was also wanting someone to throw around ideas with as well. I mean it's all well and good that i have ideas and stuff but I'll help someone else.

now I'm confused now. lol. I guess what I'm saying is that I'm great at coming up with ideas and coming up with a rough outline...you know what maybe i should just give up(on writing this post). i'm not a very good writer anyway.

has anyone else heard of plotbot.com?

well, okay i'm not completly ready to give up. lol i do have a completed screenplay that i finished then never went back to. if you wanna read some it's here

i think the only reason i haven't gone back is that it could go so many places and i guess i felt like as soon as i got it done i didn't have to think about it anymore.
