Me and my friends try to write books on a site called wattpad, however, once I get a really awesome idea, I lose all inspiration! Any tips to make myself keep working and not be lazy?


Yeah, that's what we're here for!

Okay first, WRITE DOWN THE IDEA! I find that if you don't, you'll loose interest.
Brainstorm ideas like CRAZY! You'll have a very long plot line and a good story to come ;)
Lastly, try and start writing right as you get the idea- and if you are in a good writing mood, USE IT! That is why it's important to write them down, because you'll be prepared for one of those moods.

Thanks, I'll do that <3 Perfect that I'm getting a chromebook for school, so I can write right in the online book! I'll also bring a mini-notenook with me at all times..
and with that...


How do some of you guys keep up with ideas with school and studying coming up? I know you write down the idea but when do you find time? Thanks!

Ugggh school ;.; No it's on tuesdaaaaaay!

Anyway, in any of your free time, just do a lot of writing and such. If your teacher gives you time to do something quietly, try writing out some ideas and such ;)

Thanks! Sorry, but I have more questions:

Critisim, and dealing with it. I know we need to ignore the haters, but hearing my art teacher telling me to redo a drawing makes me burst out in tears, and I'm not even good at art. No one's critsised me yet, but I keep worrying it's gonna be my teacher or someone close to me.

That's a hard thing. Just like a few hours ago someone said my signature wasn't unique ;.;
My art teacher last year (nobody really liked her) was like "do this do that" and I spent probably HOURS on mine, then she gave me a B! She's like "you need brighter colors" but I WANTED it like that.
The only advice I can give is to just take it an move on.

Thanks! I'm quite pleasedwith how my current story is going! XD (Especially as I've kinda stopped following my plan now!) I have another one that I've had quite a long break from, but I think I'll finish this one first!!
