That Need To Write

One of the worst feelings in the world is when I have an idea, but I have no clue how to write it down. When I feel like I've solved world hunger, or have the idea that could be the future of literature, or better. Maybe I've been watching one of the best TV Shows of all time, and now I just know the next part of the story. Maybe I had a sudden burst of inspiration while in the shower, and now more than anything I want to grab my laptop and write it down, but I just can't find the words.

So many of my ideas are lost, forgotten or just abandoned when I realise I just have no clue how to explain them to the rest of the world. I had an idea for a story named "The Visitant Boy", I got two paragraphs in before realising it had so many plot holes it just wouldn't work until I worked it out. But did I have the time or effort to work it out, no.

Even worse is when I have the desire to write something, anything, but I DON'T have an idea, there is no inspiration. If I do think of something, chances are I will lose focus quickly, and move onto something else.

I can never understand how my favourite authors manage to stick to ideas so well, get them down, and develop them without losing faith in themselves. I have so many unfinished novels, where I only got a chapter in, so many song lyrics I never found a good tune for, and so many lose scraps of paper with half hearted attempts at a story on them. Why can I not get anything done? Beats me.
