I RATE 5s AND I'LL GIVE YOU $100 IF YOU HELP
hey evryone! this is kind of a weird question, but i need help. see, i write HORRIBLE stories! it's not because i don't have a good imagination or anything, just that i always have a bad time starting (how to start, WHAT to start on, etc.). then, when i finally do, i think up this awesome story, but then i can't stop! i have so many ideas, that in the end, since i don't have time to write it all down (my awesome story) i end up having to end it with something quick and dumb. so i have a great beginning, and a very detailed middle, then in the end i write the first and quickest thing that pops into my mind and that kills the story and it sucks. so how can i find a way to start a story in the least amount of time, and how do i control all of my ideas so that it doesn't take too long so that my story doesn't suck?

Write all of your ideas down first in a brainstorm, that way you can write about everything in order and elaborate in your own time. :)

Hun, you can't rush a story. Your question is evidence of that!!
Everyone's inspiration runs dry once in a while. I'd suggest writing as far as you can with this story and then leaving it until you get an idea for the ending - however long that takes. The thing is, you can't ask your imagination to rush - that's just not the way it works. Ideas will strike when THEY want to - unfortunately - and I guess us writers just have to work around that :)
To get you into the habit of writing better endings, you could re-write the endings of some of your favourite stories, or write some very short children's stories (you don't have to show these to anyone, they're just to help you get around to finishing a story concicely and well) and making sure that you put an ending on them. They say practise makes perfect, and nowhere is that more true than in writing.
Blessed Be,

Any well written story does not come about by sitting down and writing the story from start to finish. You are putting quick endings on because you are waiting until you have the middle before you come up with it. Plan your story. spend the time to come up with the ideas, then note them down just as a few words. Arrange them and make sure you know where the story ends, before you really start writing anything in full. The advantage of this is sometimes, as you know the ending already, you can put twists and turns in the story to misdirect the reader and add surprise to your ending. If you don't know the ending, you can't put those in as you write. In short, spend a lot mroe time planning and less time writing.

When you do come up with an idea.. put it on a web diagram thing.with the circles..and like.. go by the web, add a little more though when you right the story..but not too much..just follow the web as if it were the bible.. (sorry if you arent relgious) ..but web diagrams help a lot.
