I need some motivation/encouragement

[Azwed]

I am going to try and write my first real story. I have written stories for private use before and ad libed stories, naughty bedtime stories rock, but I have never written a story for public use.

So I need a little motivation to actually start writing.

HELP.

Not to send you off to another board, but have you checked the story ideas board?

or

Two of my stories were written for specific people, about fantasies I had. It's a decent place to start.

I already have a whole plot outline written out. I just need a beginning, I about have one formulated in my head, once I get going I think I will be ok. I already had the outline looked over by somebody so I know it is a good basic idea. I just need to add more too it.

Formal fictional writing is just something I have almost no experience with. We never really wrote any stories in my English classes.

Could I PM you my plot outline to get another opinion on it. I am also planning on writing in the first person, since that is how i originaly told the story.

Sure, I'll look it over. Though, not til tomorrow, I'm plum tuckered out.

I have to tell you though, I have never, in my entire life, written anything from an outline. So send me what you've got, and I'll let you know what I think, but sometimes it's better just to sit down and write.

Hey azwed, you've got a reliable old-timer there - but watch it she's maybe still looking for wallpaper.

As for your education "Formal fictional writing is just something I have almost no experience with. We never really wrote any stories in my English classes."
Sue the bastards.

You seem to write your posts OK.

GET YOUR SORRY ASS UP AND START WRITING THAT DAMN STORY, PRIVATE!!!

Sorry for the drill sargent routine. Did it work?

Write for yourself. Just let the words flow. Then you edit. Let someone else read it. And, you're ready! I am looking forward to reading.
Good luck!
