I have an idea for a short story. But I fear somebody already had that idea, so I didn't start to write it. Meh…
As an amateur writer let me fill you in on something , chyme.
Most ideas have already been done hundreds of times by someone and it's usualy your own personal spin on it that people care about.
Course there is an exception to the rule here and there, like Dr. Arnoldi, whose summary alone has me creeped out. :ninja:
-
That gave me an idea for another short story… dammit!
Okay, I'll write it! I might post it here. Though you won't be able to read it cause it won't be in English:ninja:
But I do hope I didn't steal anyone's idea somehow... I probably shouldn't care... I'm so stupid when it comes to ideas. Once, I had one, and it turned out to be an already existing thing, and since then I tend to become overly careful.But thank you guys!

I know, just… I don't want to create a complete ripoff. That's my biggest fear.
But since so few of you speaks Hungarian, I guess you won't notice
-
i have two story ideas, but my procrastination prevents both from making any progress at all -__-
hopefully this will change one day.
-
Of course you won't write it in Hungarian.
Because we want to be able to read it you know :ninja:
-
@No:

You know I have to write it in Hungarian first then translate.
What a coincidence: just yesterday (actually two days ago) in literature class, we were talking about how hard it is to translate something from Hungarian to any other language.:ninja: -
Your English looks fine, unless you mean that it can only be done in Hungarian.
-
@Uncle:
Your English looks fine, unless you mean that it can only be done in Hungarian.
Well, the translation is the only problem. Hungarian language has so many expressions and such that can't be translated into English(according to my teacher). At least, it won't be as elaborate or give the same feeling as the original.
As for writing it in English(completely leaving out Hungarian), well… I'll maybe try that.
-
It would be best if you tried to learn to write it in english to begin with. It took me some practice, but it helps because translation of your own work is more trouble then it's worth and you can get pissed off at your own inabilty to change the phrase to mean what you want.
What kind of story do you have anyway ?

Being pissed of is what I really want to prevent. I guess I have to learn then.
Fantasy.
-
Any specification ?
For example, is it Howard stuff ?
-
It'd be a serious story. About a warrior woman and a mage (they won't fall in love, I can already guarantee that). It'd contain injustice, misfortune and cruelness, but overall, it won't be so depressing.
-
Write it, dammit.
-
Affirmative! I'll write it!
-
good luck Nolus! :D
–--------------------
my main idea is a sci-fi story, involving a band of space mercenaries.
a teenage boy (main character) stumbles across the mercenaries ship by accident, and he unwittingly joins them in take-off after snooping around inside it for too long.
after being introduced to the crew, he befriends a young girl who was picked up under similar circumstances several months ago.To earn their keep, he and the girl clean up and do chores around the ship.
They gradually bond and he helps the girl become more confident in herself.
He fights his own demons too, including the supressed childhood trauma of surviving a violent home robbery that killed his parents and little sister.
The mercanaries also soften up over time, influenced by the two kids.The main over-arching plot involves the mercenaries trying to find a new home planet for the kids, as a side quest attached to their regular line of work.
This is because the planet earth was destroyed by the enemies of the mercenaries, and they felt so guilty that they wanted to help re-home the kids. -

And hey, sounds like a nice story! And this comes from someone who isn't exactly a sci-fi fan!

I've had this story idea for ages, but have never been able to write it.
Should I post it here, or do we take this elsewhere ?
Also, does you story have dragons, chyme ? :ninja:

You silly, don't you know, dragons make everything better. They're like chocolate:ninja:

Points in the general direction of Eragorn and that one movie about scientists cloning a fully grown dragon without thinking it might be a bad idea.

It'll be nothing like that
That dragon won't have a big role in the story. -
Then
will the story feature sumo wrestling twins ? :ninja:
-
Nope:ninja:
But we're getting a little off-topic here. I have a nice thread for all the madness:ninja:

I thought we had some general writing thread.

Dear Aspiring Writers,
Not writing means you'll never be as cool as me, and I'm not very cool at all, so what does that say about you? Huh? HUH?
See ya' in the Fics Thread.

Ha…ha
! I don't need advice. You're my internet confessional, Father AP.
! God nothing tells me how much I hate my reality than how wonderful my dreams can be.
! I have incredible, desperate dreams sometimes that are like the embodiment of everything I don't have. I've had several in my lifetime that were so vivid I still remember the basic gist of them.
! A dream where everything was really perfect and nice, with active relationships with people I loved and real social behaviour. Like, I'll have a girlfriend, or boyfriend, and it'll be this really developed and interesting dynamic relationship. Like this feeling that feels complete, "I can't live without you!" kind of schtick. And I'll always be a biological girl too, I will be able to infer these distinctions, even if nothing makes me question it at the time. My subconscious is really dicky like that.
! The dream will feel like it goes on for years and there will be so much that happens, all kinds of storylines and character building and shit. Obviously it doesn't translate into a realistic narrative most of the time, I'm sure if I could watch these dreams in real life they wouldn't make sense all the time. But it usually feels like I grow these insanely deep bonds and true love and friendship happens in these dreams.
! Then I wake up and I realize I'm myself again. It's always crushing and jarring. An easy way to ruin my day. I usually just go back to sleep and fall back into it the best I can. Sometimes my subconscious works with me and it resumes, or if it doesn't, I'll be too wrapped up in thinking about it it (I will just lie in bed going over my memories of it). It is
! the saddest thing really.
! I got out of bed at 2PM today when I had the most deeply touching dream of my life, only really accepting I was awake when my body just gave up dreaming.
! These Fantasy Relationships get to me, not because I don't try and not because I'm just sitting here crying about some hypothetical mouth to kiss that I just instantly want, but because real relationships are just so ruined for me. I'm not sitting here in some basement going "wah where is somebody to love me crawl out of my computer and love me", but rather I just can't get myself to operate. I have no idea if I can ever have a real relationship in my life ever again and the one thing that stands out in these dreams is that the Me in them is so lacking in my real character flaws. I have only ever had meaningless fuck buddies that objectified me.
! I just kind of wish I could have some cheesy romcom simple relationship, haha. Unhealthy standards.
! holy hell's problem show on da internet look at my probarlems plook at my proableeems dur hur dur hur dis is likvjournal -
That's a common problem that's a bitch to deal with. It goes doubly for you. The only way I'm able to even semi-handle it is thinking, "Well fuck… I think this way. I'm pretty damn sure that, based in terms of probability, someone else does too." Though I can see how your situation is a lot more shitty.
Even if I wanted to give advice, I really couldn't because I haven't even figured out how to deal with that shit yet. And it should be easier for me. But man, you know what they say…
Fuck it.
-
Raaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwrghhhhhhhhhh.
I have a number dialed on my phone and I have to press that stupid little square with the phone icon on it in a sec and I hate that it's come to this because I feel like I've betrayed a particular someone but I need to stop being delusional and stupid and stop bargaining with myself because I lost the 'bet' a long long long time ago and I know this is good for me in the LT but I'm just a little sad, I guess, but I refuse to feel discouraged and YOU JUST NEED TO DO THIS YOU STUPID TRAPPED.
-sigh-
Handsome man save me from the monsters.

Fuck it indeed. Man. In my dreams it's usually getting hurt and rejected tho, instead of being in the perfect relationship. Try being awake and having your mind wander on and on in fantasies of finding the perfect one and being your happiest with them and when you are fondly smiling, reality bitch slaps you across the face and reminds you that, that is not the way life rolls and you have to work hard to find that one. Pity it doesn't hand out advice on how to do it because damn I suck as hell in socializing with the opposite gender face to face.
-
I have those same types of dreams. They feel like they go on forever, lifetimes, which makes it even more soul crushing when you wake up from them.
I remember one time in particular. It was as you described, this blissful relationship in this paradise where everything understood me and I was who I wanted to be and in love. Everything was bright, full of color and life.
Then I woke up and could feel the cold sting and ache of reality. It was all monotone and vapid. I just laid there and let the tears dry on my face.
-
I know these kind of dreams very well, too.
I have them.. almost every night ^^'

Welcome to my dreams.
@trapped: I'm having something similar going on right now with someone I need to call. I can't bring myself to do it. :\ And there's also that one situation where I had the message typed up but could not click Send. :\
Who knew pushing one little button would be so hard?
-
I'm lonely .
-
My dreams rarely ever have to deal with relationships or sex. The closest I've gotten to something like that that I can remember that's fairly recent is a dream dealing with, and I'm not kidding, me driving a girl home after a concert.
-
Hm. Strangely enough, I came to confess something extremely similar to Holy's recent confession.
I'll just shut up and mope in loneliness.
-
let it out girl
-
Eh. I suck at wording things.
! I've started doing something I have never done lately. I deeply worry about never really having a healthy relationship. Now, I've had the usual and generic worry of "oh man, what if no one" or "I'll never find." But lately, it's truly scaring me. I seriously have started to have a deep care about how I present myself and heavily flirt. I NEVER HIT ON PEOPLE AS BAD AS I AM NOW. It's like I'm in a race against nothing to fall in love. Which is silly and a waste of time to look for it so feverishly. And has started to effect my dreams in that extent.
! While I have had those lovely dreams of love found, most of mine are of me in years to come, dwindling to a lonely woman. In a few I find someone, we're in love but then it just stops. Out of no where. And it's usually justified to my mind as: "It was your fault." Like, however it ended, was my doing. This isn't even reality, but it ruins my mood and shadows over my day. I'll think about it at work, shopping or just vegging out on TV. It bothers me like a real break up.
! It sounds extremely whiny and is basically the common complaint of "never finding anyone." But it's really grinding into me lately. What's worse is that it's now my drive. As in: "If I work hard at this, I can have what I want." Which isn't true. That's like me going: "If I paint this wall, I should be able to fly a plane!"
! Another thing that just makes this so much for fucked up for me is that I have fully convinced myself that I am good enough for nobody. (WUTOMGIAMSOHERPDERPWHYMEWHINEWHINE) I'll hit on a boy, and abruptly stop because I know I'm no where near good enough for him or anyone. Which is, I know isn't true, but it's lingering. I'll rid myself from that blatantly stupid mindset someday, but for now, I just use it as an excuse to mope.
! Argh. It's such a confusing and new problem for me that I can't word it.
! And I really just wanted to whine. I'll figure this out. -
My dreams are always just dumb randomly changing meaningless emotionless goofball non-sequiters.
How do ya'll have these types.
-
Are you going to school? Do you go out a lot? I've went through points since I've graduated from HS where I'm like, jeez, there's NO one out there!
If you get out more, I guarantee you'll meet someone. Sooner or later. But honestly, don't hit on people just for the sake of not wanting to be alone (if you're looking for a relationship.) I personally would rather be single than in a relationship with someone I only cared for marginally.
-
You make a good point. I think that I shamelessly flirt now to try to keep myself feeling…available? Bah, I don't know words.
But thanks for the advice! I'll keep that in mind. I

eh you shouldn't have to go out of your way. that's the guys job. if you're interested, you reciprocate. I'm not saying you shouldn't make the first move in regards to making it apparent of your interest in someone just because you're a chick, but you seem like you're trying to hard when you shouldn't have to!
no problem b.

I posted all the happy stuff in the PYD Thread but uhm.. now the shitty stuff
If I haven't left the house for a long time I really have a problem with going outside.
I leave the house every day but only to buy some food and something to drink, so this doesn't count. (this was also easier in the winter time, when I could go outside when it was already dark)
The real problem is… going where I don't go often. It's... uhm
I tell myself every day to get outside, get some fresh air, walk around, watch the nice place I live in. But then I end up not going cause I'm just afraid.
It took me 5hours today to actually GO shopping. I really wanted to go and was excited about it but every time I thought "Ok, now I get ready and GO" something in me kept me from standing up. I was afraid.
I mean, here in my own place I have my save harbour. I can do everything I want. I can dance around naked and there's no one who sees me. I live in my own world.
When I go outside I have to face reality. I have to face hundreds of people.
It's really warm outside but I shivered. I had no confidence at all. Well, people don't see that I'm unconfident cause every time I go outside I put on my poker face.
It's not that I have a problem with interacting with people. Well, ok, that, too. Sometimes.But I check myself on every window or mirror that I pass. Does my hair look like I want it? What about my make up? Something out of place? Is my skirt still in place? Is my walk ok? What if I trip now? Pls legs, don't let me trip or bump into someone or crash against a wall! And so on and so on...
I put on music cause that makes it easier.When I go outside I think the whole world is watching me. And this is stupid cause.. of course the world isn't watching me. And it's normal that people look at me just because I fall a bit out of the standard with my dyed hair, dark make up and weird clothes. And in the normal case I couldn't care less if people look at me but... just when I do something I don't do every day it overhelms me and I get scared about every step I make.
On my way back to my apartement I calmed down because there was this old lady that needed help and I loved to help her and I actually felt kind of honored that she chose me from all the people around. A lot of people told me that they were scarred of me in the beginning cause of my pokerface, haha. So I was really glad the lady asked me to help her and I do love to help strangers.
Oh and there was this other situation that really put me down.
I was on my way to H&M, music on. A woman with a lot of white roses came in my direction, reaching me with one of the roses. I smiled and took the rose and said thanks and went on. Then I heard her yell after me, I turned around and she asked "little donation pls?" in broken german. I felt SOOOOOOOO fuckin stupid, lol. I said "no, sorry" and gave back the rose and went on. I think I heard some laughter but that was perhaps just my mind....Yeah.
Conclusion: I have to go out more, lol.
Edit: And the worse about this. My mother had the same problem after something.. something happened. And I don't want to be like my mother and this is what annoys me the most. Sometimes I have a feeling I can't escape the flaws my mother had. I have them, too and I just don't want to be like that fuckin shit of piece.
