What storyline?
My main issue, and a rather bad one, is that I cannot hold storylines. My mind wanders too far off, even if I plan out a story and write brief summaries about the chapters. It was mandatory to take a simple writing class in my school, but we were given topics and just made our own characters. I was wondering if there are good outlines that help, or if my overly wandering mind simply isn't cut out for writing, and should stick to drawing. I can draw and write captions to my drawings that depict a story, but not a story to depict my drawings. Making various characters and worlds isn't an issue for me. But the storyline drifts, lags, or goes far too fast. I hardly go far into one before realizing that. |
Sounds like you lack of focus...
Do you have a objectives or goal of some sort for the story? |
Yeah, I have ADD and my brother has ADHD. I always set out a main goal, and then sometimes smaller goals first, but still my mind always drifts and they end up doing things they didn't need to. I always daydream, so my mind drifts and so does my pen. |
Excuse me, What is ADD and... ADHD? x.x
Have you try the Snow Flake method? |
Attention Deficit Disorder and the ADHD is ADD with Hyper Activity. Very low focus. And now my turn for a question, what is that method? I don't think I've used it, unless a writing teacher employed it without me knowing. |
I see...
From what I understand about this Snowflake method, it is a growing strategy. Say. You start with a sentence. Then you slowly develop it by adding more details into it. How To Write A Novel Using The Snowflake Method Here is a link, they should explain better than I do. |
Oh, I rather like that setup. I'll try it, and if it doesn't work, I suppose I'll post here again. Thank you very much for giving me this way of trying to get my story set up. |
Just pick up the ones that seem to work for you, don't feel that you have to follow strictly all the steps he had done.
A method could be break down into smaller parts, take what suits you. Good luck~ Hoping you would share some of your story. |
