I've written for a year now(ish) and I've come along some great ideas I'd like to form into existence. But I always, always, ALWAYS have one problem. I can't seem to get past the first chapter or even the first 1,000 words! I sit down with my laptop, a fresh, blank, bleak white sheet. Within minutes I begin writing a sentence, then it builds to a paragraph. Then another paragraph. I quickly... run out of ideas for the first chapter. I read through the text and decide what I've written is horrid! Horrible! Awful! Even if I was thinking what I wrote was great when I wrote it. So when I think it's awful I just give up and start over. That's my daily writing routine. Has anybody else felt this way, or experienced this? Am I doing something wrong, am I not doing anything that I should be doing? Should I be trying amy other techniques such as starting at chapter 20 or etc. It's really annoying when I just want to write and get a story done. I want to, experience my characters, and ideas. Thank you, -ANM
