Writing is my time machine, it takes me to the precise time and place I belong

Annyeong everyone,

I love to write. Whether it's a blogpost, an essay for school, a story of my own or just scraps of ideas I jot down in my notebook. Writing is like breathing to me; I can't imagine me not writing. You know how they say there's a double of all of us somewhere? Though I'm not so sure I believe that, I just know that if there is another me out there, she (or he...I don't know if they'd be the same gender as the 'original') will love to write. It has to be. Writing is such an essential part of my life, even if there'd be an alternative universe where everyone excists as well, my alternative version would be writing.
No doubt about it.

The gears in my head are always working: always producing new ideas and providing me with delicious inspiration. Yet I can't seem to finish the 19475475923 stories I've created. Sometimes I stop just after creating the characters, sometimes after a few chapters. After that....I'm empty. My inspiration is gone. I guess that's what you call writer's block, eh?
I think I get stuck because I don't have any proof readers; people who read my chapters and give me feedback. Because when I get feedback, I start thinking about the story I want to write, not the story I've written. So I need to find myself some proof readers. I had a friend who read my stories for me, but she got frustrated with me because I had one written 3 chapters and then hopped on to another story.
She's really scary when she's scolding me and I had to stop sending unfinished stuff. T0T

So if any of you want to proof read, send me a message and we'll talk it over!

Sayonara mina!

12 days of fleshing out characters

Annyeong everone *^o^*

Well, I'm not really going to be fleshing out characters: one per day seems pretty slow to me, kekeke. But yeah, I'm STILL working on them non-stop.
And the worst part is: when I finished one and begin to work on another, I suddenly get these brilliant ideas for the former! It's like I'm not getting any further and keep working on the same character over and over and over again. It's driving me crazy!! ToT
Anyhow, the plotting isn't going so well either. I have the basic plan in my head and the beginning on paper and now I'm stuck. I know what I want, but I just can't jot it down. But jotting it down is very important, because I have an unreliable memory. I sometimes  forget something 2 seconds after it's been told. I even have times when I walk into the kitchen/my room/any other place in the house and then realize I forgot what I was going to do. (EPIC FAIL)
That's why it's important for me to write ideas down or record them.

Well, I'm sure my head gets unstuck after a while and I'll be able to plot out my entire novel on paper or the computer. I'll probably write it down first anyways and then type it all out on the computer...And I'll probably hit my head against my imaginary wall for giving myself extra work.
Ah well....story of my life. OTL
