(no subject)
back in like, march last year... i started writing a story. or more accurately, i wrote the prologue to a story.
it was based off a dream i had. and then eventually off of other dreams i had.
months later i went back to it, and started writing more. because i had more dreams. and so i added some, and changed more of the beginning, and kept going.
and just now, i looked over it, and i want to keep going. but i dont know what to add.
because the introduction i wrote is almost the very end of the story.
and then i added the beginning. and then more to the end. and then more to the beginning.
and i know what happened at the start. its firmly in my mind. and i know all but one detail of the end.
i just dont know how to get thru the middle. what happens between those two points? the ideas i have in them i adore, because ive always loved a story with interesting ideas and a weak plot better than a story with a great plot that is dull as hell. coughLOTRcough. and i like the ideas in this, and the plot hasnt even been built yet, so theres still a chance that can be okay too.
but how do i put the ideas together? there is such a blank space in my mind when i try and see how to get past it. if i drew up an outline the first 13 points or so would be filled out, the last 21 or so, and maybe 6 of the 50-60 in between.
just something that bothers me in the morning.
