I’ve been writing a novel, well three or four really. They’ve all been moderately good ideas, and I’ve gotten pretty far - then it just ends. I’m not in love with my plot anymore, and I don’t feel like it has substance to it. I have the feeling they aren’t the ‘meant to be’ plot for my novel. How do I find my plot though? Nothing seems to work.

Keep writing shit until you crap out a gold nugget. Seriously, keep writing. If you stop, your story is just that...shit.
Hope that wasn't too blunt.

LOL. It was pretty blunt, but good advice nonetheless.Originally Posted by Lost in Some Story

I think you need inspiration to write. If you start drawing a blank on one story, start another that is completely different. I keep a few stories that I meddle with, occasionally switching between them when I hit a wall.
Wasnt there just a thread on this very topic less than a week ago?
I would say make sure that you are totally stuck on one before moving on to another... sometimes you have to push your way through parts to get excited about the story again... the parts you push through will most likely get edited a lot later so don't worry about getting them perfect.
