The Story Dilemma.

So, I'm considering writing a story.
I tried writing them when I was about 12/13 and my writing has developed a little since then...

But I stopped writing them.

I gave up on myself because I couldn't keep an idea in my head... I'd think of something and believe it could be the next 'big thing'. Then I'd tell myself it was shocking and thought of another idea for another story completely abandoning the other idea...

This was a continuous process until I just gave up and convinced myself I'd never be a good writer.

But now I want to start writing stories again. I don't quite know why all of a sudden but I guess deep within I've always had that determination to become an author.

I don't want to end up like I was before because let's face it, we all know I'm not the most confident of people so bad habits could occur.

So I guess the point of the post was to tell anyone that if I post would anyone give my stories a read? And also how do you like to write (not just story writers anyone in general) like how are you inspired?

Reading others work?
Going for a drive?

Thanks guys,
