I can't write at all lately... I either have scenes in my head that don't tie in with the current story, or I just can't keep a storyline together. It's bugging me loads. Sop I cast my mind back to when I would write non-stop in Year Six (I'm in Year Ten now), and it was all fan fiction. Then I thought, why don't I just write fan fiction but make up the names?! I mean, I'll have to pen a plot of course. I don't want to waste time writing just 5 chapters and then finishing the tale with just that! But the inspiration is still not coming. I just don't know if I have what it takes to be a proper novelist... I mean, how could somebody ever come up with such an amazing character as Jack Twist (or was it just Jake Gyllenhaal that made Jack that amazing)?
Kindest Regards,

I don't think you should give up being an author just because you can't get any inspiration at the moment. I don't know of any other authors that wrote books when they were 15. Just look at Ang Lee, he didn't start writing until he was 28, and didn't think of Jack Twist till he was 51! I think you've got what it takes to be an author, so don't give up!
