So what problems do you have with writing a book? Mine is beginning it. Making characters, good, Writing it, fine, ending it, no problem but I take ages thinking of a good beginning.

What about you?

 
Thinking up a title. I'd be finished the book by the time I'd have thought up the title... And my title always comes out lame. *cough* ALWAYS.

 
I usually have trouble writing the end and sometimes developing characters, but the beginings are the easiest part for me. Like with a story I'm working on now I love the begining and characters, but can't seem to think of a good way to end it. ;)

 
I think ending it is the hard part. I mean, you have to come up with a really good finish for your book. It makes the whole thing better.

About the people who's having troubles thinking up parts for the story, write a brief, jot-noted version of the whole story, then type out the actual story, though, keeping to the jot notes you wrote.

 
It's a bit of everything.

I personally have trouble putting an end to my stories, and I have trouble connecting the events that happen. I have sporatic specific events that happen, but what happens in between? I also have trouble choosing what to add and what not to add. In my worlds, I make a life for everyone. Everyone has a past, everyone has things that happen to them, and what do I leave out?

I have no trouble developing enough characters, as I have what, 40 of them? But some of them I have more trouble with then others. A lot of times I go back and enrich their development. I change their character design tons.

I think my writing style would be a bunch of short stories that tie in together in one big story. I don't write too much, though.

 
Mine is actually writing it. I can word it out fantastically in my head, and can even go over the entire story, but I just can't write it. I get bored and don't finish it, even if I think about it all the time in my head.

 
Staying on topic.

I tend to ramble a lot...

And making it long enough once I've taken out all the rambling xD

Because then each chapter is only a few a4 pages long o.x

 
Well I wrote a book about *drumroll* Heather The Harp Seal from seal roleplay and seal roleplay 2! But then my annoying little sister just HAD to delete it by "accident" and I had to start again and I forget all the things that happened and all >.<

 
I have trouble picking an appropriate topic and once I do, I focus SOOOO much on detail that I can't really think up more of the general story. ;)

 
Tip for ~>>Tamagirl101<<~: no one likes a book with too much detail and discriptions, if you put less detail and stuff then maybe you'd be able to think of the story better.

 
I can describe my characters fine, it's just the name that twangs me everytime. Usually in school I use simple, often used names.

When I find inspiration for a story it is based on a feeling, a specific feeling or emotion. From there the story comes forth.

The most difficult part for me is sticking to a story. I have the beginning to about a zillion but I have only ever finished one. I love to write, I love for it to just come out onto paper but when I leave it I have a difficult time remembering that specific feeling that gave me inspiration. I can start writing again but it has a different feel, like a different story I tried to connect to the first one.

 
I used to be really awesome, but then I developed interest in Non-Fiction books.

If you could spell D+ then you probably know my grade. I hate language arts!

 
I have trouble with a lot of things. I don't know what to write about, I have trouble with naming my characters and deciding if they are male or female..and yeah.
