Wow I feel so much better about it now! That's what its like for me, I will spend hours just daydreaming and come up with tons of ideas and write them down on post-its. Even the tiniest details! So far I have 17 different stories going and it's so crazy! I'm just coming up with story after story! However I'm having a hard time coming up with one that has a passionate love in it, like Back To You, which btw is the most amazing love story ever. I'm focusing mainly on one story, the one that means a lot to me, and what you said about having a oneness with the characters is troubling me, because I don't know how to write from MJ's POV. I don't want to screw it up and make him seem like somebody he's not, but I don't want to just assume what he would be like, because then I feel disrespectful to him. It's hard because I think I know his personality, but when my fingers are at the keyboard, I'm lost. And it's not a love story either, it's about a friendship between him (adult) and a very sick teenager, and the adventures they have getting older. (End in tragedy, like most of my stories). So I don't know how to put down what he is thinking when he is with the teenager. He's never really talked about teenagers. He always talked about what he feels like around children, and there are tons of stories on here about him falling in love that I could get ideas from, but I have read nothing, fiction nor real life, about friendships between him and teenagers that I could get ideas from, so I dont know how he would act around them. I was thinking it could be like how he acts around Chris Tucker, joking and friendly, but wouldn't he treat them more like children than adults? The whole idea of the story is that she (the teen) is there for him even after she grows up, until the end.. It's like she's always a kid to him, but also a best friend. What do you think? Would he think of her as a sick child he pities or a best friend he can always lean on? Sorry I talk so much :P

You're an amazing writer. This story was so long yet put together perfectly. I don't know how you did it. You are my role model. I am just starting my stories, and I feel like I'm not getting anywhere with it. It's just going so slowly. Since you're my role model, could you tell me how long it took you to come up with AND write this? I just need to know if, at first, you spent more time thinking about your story instead of writing it, like what I'm doing, or if you just started writing one day and didn't stop until you were done. If you're willing to share, I'd like to know some of the steps you took to make it easier and smoother. Much appreciated. Love you,

Author's Response: HI! Thank you so much, I'm so humbled to hear that from you. I actually had the beginning of the story in my mind a looong time before I finally decided to write it down. I was actually never planning on writing out what became BTY, I just loved having the scenarios in my head for fun for just daydreaming. I daydream a lot haha. So when I actually started writing out dreams and one-shots for my own pleasure, I was on a roll and finally decided to write out the first scene of bty for myself only. I actually had started writing Bty for only me and a friend for pure fun between us, and it wasn't until about 30+ chapters in that I noticed that people were venturing onto my page and reading all of my stories and adding me. After that and after some thought (a lot of thought and putting away my fears) I decided to post my story onto an MJ forum (COMJ) and from there I slowly watched the replies coming in. And after a few more weeks and even more positive feedback, I finally decided to bring it over here. As far as continuuing the story, I was taking my time with posting my already written chapters on the forum everyday, so by the time I posted a "new" chapter one day I was writing a truly new one of my own myself that same morning, and when those systems caught up with each other and I'd posted all of my chapters I was just too invested and in love with my own story to stop. Whenever inspiration came to me or even when my readers said something that looked good I incorporated the ideas in and the story just honestly magically and wonderfully flowed on its own and became this abyss that I was sucked into and never wanted get out of again. I really think it's in your heart. It's in how much you feel connected to the characters and how real you feel their situation is. If you don't feel a kind of oneness with Michael and whoever your female/male lead is, I believe that it will be so much harder to get lost inside of your plot with them, and/or even continue your fiction. At times BTY literally wrote itself; I didn't think about it and just let my fingers run, and it was because my characters just all had spirits and lives of their own and it was like they were living their own lives, and I was just getting on paper. It's hard to explain because it's my own system, but all I can truly say to you is to find the tale that you've always wanted to tell, whether it's romance, or drama, or horror or slash, and if you love your plot, write it. Don't write what other people want/tell you to, write what YOU want to, whether it's part of a popular opinion or not. Write it until everything that you've ever wanted to happen comes alive, and the rest will come naturally. And don't be afraid of writing blocks because they will happen so often and for so long that you'll want to throw something, haha. Just lay back, occupy yourself elsewhere and let the inspiration come to you. And whether an idea you have festering sounds absolutely crazy or not, write it down still. You'd be surprised what comes together once you write it down. And whether it ends working or not, you can always click the Delete button in the end. That's all I can think to tell you right now! I wish you all the best with your story! x
