K. My problem is that I have recently joined NaNoWriMo. Has anybody heard of this? So...I need to prepare for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have ideas for a story, but that's as far as I've got. It's where I've been stuck for about a year or so. I need someone who is good at what I'm not to help me here.
What am I good at? Putting words together and coming up with cool stuff to happen in the story. That's it. The details and all the rest is beyond me.

Also, problem #2. I am a great writer. I can give you examples if this needs to be proven. BUT if someone tells me to write I draw a complete blank. So...give me some homework please. You want my thoughts on something...ok. my opinion..ok. my life story? give me a topic, subject, question....something. small story to rewrite even. give me an assignment here. i'll work with a prompt if it's given.

Anyway, those are my two big issues in life at the moment. witch is a little pathetic, but hey...it's ok-ish.

I've heard of Nano. I tried it one year and didn't succeed. I had a good time though. haha

As far as plots go, have you tried using visual cues? I like to look at photos online. You can try Flickr or Photobucket. Or maybe use some of your own experiences to aid you. What genres do you like best?

I honestly have no idea. I'm not into sci-fi though.
I like fantasy and adventure so far. that's all i really know.
I'd like to read more of Lisa See.

if that helps at all.

I have ideas like character names and the main happenings of the story. The rest of it is beyond me. That's what I need help with. The happenings in between the main ones, the details,
Like the reason most people remember Harry Potter is because he's in a magic school and the mirror of Eirasid...and that the stone is cool because it only comes to those who want it, but not to use it.
I can only think of those types of things. The middle parts are what's important and what's toughest.
