Moving From Idea to Story

[DAQ]

I sometimes get ideas that pop into my head about story ideas. Some times these are just a "huh, that could be an interesting story", many make past idea to synopsis or at least some general idea of what the story would be about, some make it to outlining and actually starting to plan some basic plot points, and a couple have even made it to writing a chapter or two.

The only story that I have ever posted was actually an end to act 1 but I posted it because 1. I love stories that start at crescendos and 2. I thought it made a nice one shot so that if I never finished it, it wasn't a frustrating unfinished story. I actually went back and started writing the beginning but decided to not move forward for several reasons.

So I guess my question I guess is. What is your process? How do you move from concept to written word?

 

Thanks

Hi Daq

latley I’ve been fascinated with the process of creating a story, and though I’ve written a few stories I still haven’t really developed my own method.
It seems different writers have different methods for creating a story, some seem to plan several chapters ahead, writing consistently, posting weekly. 
and some seem to just wing it per say. 
 

I am not a very good writer but it does give me something to do, and hopefully I will figure out a method that works for me, and I get better at it. 
I also seem to be more frustrated when trying to write scenes that fit my fantasy. I just don’t seem to be able to capture the scene as well as I want to. 
 

so far here’s how my method kinda goes. 
I come up with a idea

i write a ruff draft, really probably more of a outline than a actual ruff draft 

I start writing a story, technically probably more of a ruff draft. 

Then I read it and add small details commas, and periods. Etc, but this where I kinda get frustrated, I just can’t seem to twist the words around in the right way, and sometimes I think it gets confusing  

then I post a few chapters and continue the process until it’s done. 
 

The story I have been writing I decided to skip around, when I get frustrated with one scene I bounce to a different scene. Which has caused me to have a lot more story written before I post it but not in order, I have completed much more of the end then the middle, so I am not sure if this is going to work.
