This Writer's Thoughts

July 19, 2016 7:30pm CST
I've been toying with so many ideas for writing books over the years. Mostly, my thoughts focus on fiction. I have several story ideas tucked away inside my brain. I'm not sure what I'm waiting on before writing them. Lately, however, I have some non-fictional ideas ruminating up there with a focus that seems to have no final destination... yet. Then that gave me another idea. But I won't share that just now. It's a thought process. I need to have some quiet time to put my thoughts into motion. I'm kind of motivated today after starting the book, "Eat, Pray, Love."

I understand that is a book that has prompted many readers to consider writing more seriously. I recommend Stephen King's "On Writing" to you as well, entertaining and helpful.

@jillybean1222 I'm thinking of maybe reading the book even though I saw the movie. I could use some inspiration

I also encounter having issues about what to write. Like I want to write a love story then I don't know how to end it then a good story to write then it just stops because I was running out of words.

@jillybean1222 Somewhere cozy right. Where you can write all your thoughts and be inspired by the beauty of the scenery infront of you.

You sound like me. I have had so many ideas also but just haven't put it all down in words. I don't know why unless I just don't know where to start. It's frustrating to me at times.

Even if I like to write here, I am more a reader than a writer. I love to read books, but I will never write one.
