''The War I'm Fighting''

I want the world to know what I can do, what I can write and what's inside my soul that nobody but me understands. Even though I barely understand it.
I hope that maybe someday someone will want to buy my book, run home and read it and think "Wow...that was inspiring." like when I thought when I read Markus Zusak's books.
I want to be one of those writers that doesn't lose their touch after three or four books because I want to keep truckin' on. :)
And if I never get there, then I will proceed until I die. Or if so help me I give up, then I will die in shame.

I need help. Lots of it.

How do I continue a story?

How come after I put so much work into the plot, the characters, the background, the fillers, the climax(es), the ending, the tone, the allusions, the themes...and none of it has the same affect on me that I wish it did?

I'm supposed to be thrilled, and I am. Yet I just...have the inability to continue what I've started, no matter if I love the story with the passion of one-thousand suns or not.

Can anyone...give advice? Give me some criticism, some words that can possibly prevent this from happening yet again?

I'm aware that I have disappointed people over and over on deviantART with my "Ooh! I've got a new story!", then five chapters later, the glow just fades.

I was to go from start to end. I continuously remind myself of 54Viruses (Amazing writer on this site, dudes), how she is on Chapter...what? 86?!

And don't get me wrong, it's not because the story is boring. Not at all.

I have some of the most intricate, most well-thought out (if I do say so myself, don't want to get conceited here...) plots that I've created in my four or so years of writing. And none of it is playing out in my mind.

It's not writers' block, though. I'm sitting here, and thousands of events are running through my mind.

She can be murdered, he can avenge her, yet she had a disease, yet this, yet that.


Yet NONE of it is working out to my advantage and all it's doing is making me upset and disappointed in myself.

If anyone can give me advice or tips, that'd be excellent. I really need it right now, because I WANT to post something up here. My last deviation was weeks ago, and I need to get my ass back in to gear, damnit!

But thanks, all comments would be severely appreciated and cookies will be sent out. (:

This is a random hug. :hug:

There is no need for you to do anything, this was entirely random and requires no effort on your part other than to sit there and wonder what kind of wacko goes around randomly hugging other people.
