[QUOTE="ewe2, post: 53062515, member: 250115"] So far everyone is correct about where to get inspirational ideas for stories, but getting ideas isn't the real issue. The real issue is taking those ideas to completion. This is where most aspiring writers fall short, because once the 'idea' is achieved the real work of fleshing it out begins. Most are under the wrong impression that writing is an endless flow of inspiration - NOT! Writing is work. Writing is a passion, a drive to complete that won't let you rest. This is comprised of many hours of editing, revising and down right frustrating work to craft the idea into a meaningful story. All this takes discipline. I personally know quite a few people who have tons of ideas written down, and even a few taken to a certain point where they stop and it sits for years untouched, but only a couple who have completed a story. Either it was too hard or took too long to complete or something else captured their interest and diverted their attention. Once an idea/inspiration becomes a passion that you can't ignore, don't let others ideas distract you as you set on a path to completion. Discipline your mind and set your heart on reaching the end of the road, for then you will have done what few have, completed a fully fleshed out story that others can enjoy. [/QUOTE]
