These blank pages are driving me crazy

By LivingInADream · Jun 10, 2012 · ·
  1. I have been writing since I was thirteen, so it's been nearly ten years and I still haven't finished any of my novels. I have written seven novels and yet they all went unfinished. No matter how hard I tried to conjure up an ending all that ends up happening is I come up with another idea for a new novel. It's getting harder and harder to achieve my dream. Writing is all I have ever wanted to do it's all I have ever been good at and I feel like I am letting myself down because I can't find endings for my beginnings and middles and it's extremely frustrating. So now I am onto my eighth novel and I really love the idea I have come up with this time but this time it's different I know my beginning and I know my ending and most of the middle but there are events from the middle that I am missing and I just really need some help. It's the first time I have ever asked for help so it's my proof of absolute desperation.

    I am kinda like that...

    I realized later that when I couldn't find an ending, it's because there was none. I would get flash inspirations for things, yeah, based on scenes i saw in my head but they were more like self-contained things rather than elaborate stories. Don't throw them away, though. Keep them all. One day you will begin to feel out the story you want to tell. Your mind may just be too cluttered with all the ideas flying about. Write them down and just keep imagining what it is your are trying to write or what you want to say. When you find it, all these little bridges to nowhere may suddenly connect for you or you may toss them out as you'e found what you really want to say. It just takes time. If you have nothing to write, don't force it. Just relax. It'll come out when it's ready.
