Hello, Everyone, it's been a long time, but I'm back.
Lately I've been thinking, I am as ready to start writing stories as I'll ever be at this point. I have a reasonably well fleshed out world (and ideas for others), a roster of characters I can use, a collection of interesting gimmicks and story hooks, etc. However, I lack one crucial building block: plot. I can't seem to figure out how to put all of these elements into a coherent narrative. What is the point of all this? Where is this going? What do my characters want? What I am I, as an author, trying to say? I struggle to answer all of these questions.
So, I was wondering if you could share any tips and tricks for coming up with plots and stories. Is there a particular system you use? Is there something about my world or characters that might be holding me back? Do I just need practice? Please let me know what you think.
