We all have our bumps in the roads... I know I have a good basic storyline set out, I just need to fill it in...

It's just....I don't know...I just don't have any faith in myself left... I have 0 real life friends,besides my sister who's amazing and pretty and,yeah I don't know if she can write,but she can draw amazingly and...I'm just so easily depressed. For some reason we move a lot, and my Dad is very overprotective,so when I had friends I never could go to the mall with them or anything,I've never been allowed on a trampoline accept once or twice at a friends house with my mom,not my Dad. It's just...I have about 1% self esteem...I just don't believe in myself...sorry for the vent...

I just don't feel like I can write. I tried to write a story about wolves once,and I wrote nearly a whole prologue on a laptop...and then I deleted it. It just looked stupid

No problem
I've built up my self esteem, and now the person who used to be mean to me is now my friend.

I think it is also good to remember that there are a lot of different ways to be a writer. Not every writer writes novels. You can be a journalist or a critic or write essays or poems or for science journals. Every professionally made website, or advertisement, or brochure or catalog that you see that has writing anywhere on it -- well, someone got paid to write that. People write movie scripts and tv shows and song lyrics. I even know someone who makes a living writing grant proposals for non-profit organizations to help them get more funding.

So, it doesn't matter what you are writing when are you starting out. I think it is more important that you just write -- even if it seems boring. It's like a muscle. The more you stretch and run the faster and stronger your body gets. It is the same with writing. If the thought of writing a long fiction story feels too overwhelming then just write one sentence everyday and I think you will find that slowly you write more and more. Read your own writing out loud so you can hear what it sounds like. Read lots and lots. If you like what you are reading -- read it out loud to yourself and think about what the words and sentences sound like. Think about why you like them. Not just the story but the words and the way they are structured.

I write children's books -- mostly for pre-schoolers. Sometimes I write my own ideas and make up my own stories and characters but I mostly make money taking jobs writing what other people want me to for books that they are creating about their characters. All of the big companies hire people to write stories for them.

If i told you how many times I have moved, you would know my age. I don't really have friends, and down south here..Well I get the most weirdest looks, and many people, once they here my hobbies...Well I scare them I guess. And for the fact we move so much, I am scared many times to make friends became every time I get close friends either A we move far far away....Or B Something happens and we break up. And unlike you (Which be thankful for, no matter how annoying she gets!) you have a sibling you know! One of the main reasons you see so much of my art and stories (well, some) is the fact being I don't have friends, I don't hang out at the mall, heck I found out about the newest boy band on here! And when I asked them what they meant, the forum when silent! Yup, miss weirdo here...But you know what? I love being me, being the person without friends let you sometimes see things that other people can't, who cares if you haven't been on a trampoline? I and pretty much scared of those things because I broke my ankle on one XD And you know what? Even though moving sucks, you are able to see the world that way, and let me tell you, I have a totally new view point now, and I am proud I do!

Okay, me speech is over, sorry!
