I've been writing on a horror novel the last 6 months. Its been hard finding time. Everytime i come up with a part of the book I want to add. I write it down so i can add it later. it seems the ideas pop into my head when something happens, kind of a trigger or something. I need to take a notebook with me and write them down word for word when I get these ideas. Make a note of that to self. cause if i sleep before i get to write again. It seems i forget everything.

Hi, yes I've had this story in my head for a while. I just needed to pull it together. I tell people about the dreams i have, and they say you need to write books. Pretty scary at times, I don't know where these ideas come from though. Lately i've been keeping a notebook by my bed so I won't forget a thing. Do you write books to?

I tried for ages to write a horror story. Each time I got side tracked and changed direction.
I was advised to write a short story (horror) approx 2500 words, which was not so big a task. In fact I found it hard to stop at 2.5k words.
Now I now I have achieved this goal I am aiming to complete a 10,000 word short story when inspiration next strikes.
Such a great boost to actually complete something. and I can not say how suprised I was at the mistakes I found in my work after a week or so. Error after error, things I thought simplistic beforehand I was messing up completely.
I never realised how important the editing and proof reading was.
Best of luck, on your book
but I benefitted on a short trial run.
You've probably got some amazing ideas. Have you a plot to hang them on yet?
