I love writing stories, but I can never seem to finish them. I have at least 100 starts to stories I ended up never finishing..

Does anyone have a deviantart where they post their stories? Or any other website. I'd love to read them.

Here is a story I'm working on, if anyone is interested-

tell me what you think?

Maybe coming to a site full of gamers is not the place to discuss story writing, but ey why not.

If you do write stories, what kind do you write? I write fiction for teens.

I've never written them down, but I plan out stories in my mind. Some of them are really good, but grim.

I used to write a lot of short stories, although I haven't in years due to time constraints. I also had a lengthy story I planned on turning into a novel - I still might, but part of that was a childhood dream without much grounding in reality.

I have some ideas for writing actually... But like aways I can't come up with a good resolution for the end. Withouth that ending the story is pointless in my opinion.

Oh do tell! What is it about?

Its in a medival time setting. A man has had visions of the future of war and technology. He is now trying to stop scientific advancement of weapons to prevent modern warfare.

Just a story to pass the time when I am bored in school, since I can't draw either :P

I've written a couple short stories, and one pretty long (~100 pages) fanfic. I had a full-length story going that was my first attempt at serious writing that also got above 100 pages, but I've since abandoned it due to the recognition that it was basically just one cliche after another.I also have three ideas in my head to varying degrees of clarity regarding full-length novel stories, as well.

It's a hobby of mine, but I wish I had more impetus to write.

I write more poetry than prose but I have an idea for a story which I have been planning for for several years. I have just been waiting for my writing skills to mature.

Edit: Here are some of my poems for anyone who's interested http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AfdxEptOtsgUZGQ4ZGY5OXRfNWM1azNtMmY1&hl=en

Why would the uncle out of the blue want to talk about women? You got somethin though. The last time I wrote a story it was a joke as a hero that goes by the name of the Corndog of Courage standing up to tryannical bullies who make fun of overweight kids and there struggles in dealing with the most evil of villains: OBESITY and his two goons Sugar and Sweets.

I've got two stories in the works. One only has the beginning and the other one is actually coming along.

You gotta keep thinking of how to improve it to keep wanting to write it.

My Mappy fan-fic fills volumes, but none of it will be seen until my death, whenever that might be. I might release The Case of the Were-Kittens: A Mappy the Mouse Mystery this Halloween. I also write poetry.

Hey, I pretty much made this account to tell you this. Never get rid of what you start. I've done that several times. I actually have a DA account myself, only 1 small poem or what ever you'd like to call it, but I've started several "novels". I'd get to about 50 pages each, and completely scrap it. NEVER do that. BTW, I like what you've got going. For some reason, I usually don't notice stories written in first person anymore. I like it though. Keep it up =]]]

I began writing a story about a group of soldiers (a homosexual, a christian, a musician, a body builder, and a latino) who are imprisoned by the koreans. It was kind of like a Quentin Tarantino drama-action-comedy type of story that was actually pretty interesting. But I just couldn't write it, I had to many ideas in my mind of what would happen next that I couldn't just pick one. I wrote 3 chapters and stopped. I'm currently writing a musical about lesbians, transsexuals, and religion. :D

I remember we always had to write stories at my middle shcool. Whenever I finished mine peole would steal it and pass it around the school. For some reason everybody loved them except for my teacher:x Oh the nerve! He never did like me from the start, though, for a semi good reason.

I like writing stories. Not a week ago I literally had a dream that, as soon as I woke up, I knew would be great in a children's story.

I write stories all the time. I have also finished a novel that took me three years, at over 100k words. Most are a bit dark, especially about the cannibalistic psycho story I'm writing.

Occasionally. I used to write a lot more, but recently, I tend to do more music-composing than story-writing.

Yes, I write stories, I aspire to become a writer but I understand that it requires a supporting job most of the time. I tend to have multiple stories in progress at the same time as well. My stories are kinda...ludicrous but most people seem to enjoy them, at least I hope they do, otherwise they should never have encouraged me to keep writing

I used to write a lot, but I stopped for some reason. I guess I realized that I wasn't any good at it.
