Need help organizing my thoughts.

[Japaneseseriesfan]

Well, let's get straight to the point: I'm a 15 year old writer, well, not yet an author, but I'm writing a dozen or two load of works right now, some are fan fics or fan projects, some are of my own creation, and the rest are just novels, short stories, or even movie/theater play scripts.

Thing is, I can't get straight to the point while writing. I mean, I'm pretty much the kinda guy whom, once I get an idea, it'll stay for a moment, and it'll go, so I sorta have to capture it. If anyone watches Chuck, I sorta "flash" on almost 50 different stories and ideas per hour every day. And it's not just pictures or scenes, I go as far as seeing trailers and epic dramatic music, you know those opera musics they use in say Lord Of The Rings trailer, shits by X-Ray Dog and all (yeah, it's pretty much what I like about trailers XD).

Anyways, I'm trying to sort out my ideas, one by one, but it seems every time I try, I get so annoyed and angry so easily. I get stressed out. Meditation doesn't help me. I can't really keep my mind focus on one thing, since well... I've got a little problem, similar to ADHD, but that doesn't mean I'm literally a mental retard fag. I have an IQ of 153, just to clarify that I'm not retarded.

I want to write stories, but when I start holding the pen, my hand shakes and I don't dare drop an ink on it since I'm afraid I'm gonna screw up the first time, cause if I do, I might as well keep screwing since it's a pattern I always repeat. Most of the time, I don't even WANT to write it down. I want to TELL it to someone, and make them write it down more, because telling the story itself HELPS me understand it more and allows me to think further into it, whereas if I write it down, it's gone. Like a transfer without having a backup, which is why whatever I write cannot be rewritten. It's original and stays that way.

The only thing I want to do is tell good stories, so that people learn something off it, and not just say "Hey! That was a popcorn movie!" or something like that. I want people to start understanding the depth of things, and I want people to IMAGINE what words really mean and not just say it. I want to TEACH people morals, using quotes and famous lines and use events in history to prove things and to prove my point. I want the world to SEE how corrupted it is so people would actually LISTEN and stop doing what's wrong and start doing what's right. I want to show people the truth, how people could be misunderstood, tortured just cause of their race of believes, and I want to show how such a good person could turn so evil, so that people would learn about it and feel the need to stop all evildoers. I want to show how people aren't perfect and how we still make mistakes and that it could be forgiven. I want to show that sometimes people need to clam down and LISTEN to reasons cause reasons are what starts wars and all kinds of conflicts. I want people to think less of money and more of what's right. I also want people to sometimes think of their families and others other than themselves all the time. I want people to learn to stand up on their own, even though they do need a figure to support them.

That is kinda what I want to write about. I want to send out a message.

Anyone got any idea how to help me?

EDIT: I didn't complete my list

I also want to show how someone would go so far to prove their point. How someone would sacrifice a lot for others and not care about themselves. How even if being alone for eternity means everyone else would be happy and that it's worth it.

It sounds like you're trying to take on too much at once. Anytime you take on multiple project simultaneously you run the risk of losing focus on any or all of them. Some of the ideas you're hit with throughout the day may not be "stories" at all, they might be just that: ideas, and should be treated as such. If it's something you can incorporate into one of your current works, go for it, but don't try to craft a brand new individual story around every seperate idea you come up with.

Also, understand that writing is a game of revision. It's never going to be perfect the first time you put it down and it's unrealistic to expect it to be. Every writer has their own hangups about the way they do things and the way they think it should be done, and the ultimate goal of writing is to overcome these hangups and achieve a state where the thoughts you're attempting to convey are related as naturally and as effortlessly as possible. A lot of established authors recommend writing free-hand, but what's best for them might not be the same for everyone. When I tried switching to free-hand, I found that even though it forced me to slow down and organize my thoughts better, I was growing impatient at the rate at which I could get those thoughts down, and ended up losing a lot of great ideas in the process. That's why I do a lot better with a typewriter or word processor--it allows me to rapidly put down all the stuff in my head so that I can come back and fiddle with it later. Try out both methods and see which works for you, but don't be discouraged if you find yourself scribbling out entire paragraphs on your legal pad or holding down the "backspace" key more than you think you should. It's all part of the creative process.

Writing is like any other classical art form; painting, sculpting, etc. Formulating a concept is only half of the struggle, the rest is coming back to it time and time again to chip away the excess and remold the remaining bits to suit that concept as accurately as possible.

Indeed. What he said.

I'm writer as well. You just have to let your brain to rest more easily, rather than to having yourself stressed out to brainstorming any new ideas out of your head.

But, hey, no writers can be perfect. Don't try too hard, ok?

EDIT: OH! And I just come back from vacation, it did do me good. The stories itself is flowing very well, so perhaps you should take a vacation, beside you're very young. What are you trying to do?

Thanks for the advice guys, and I won't take it too hard.

What I'm trying to do is get the world to fuckin stop all these nonsense that's going on. I live in Thailand, and it's pretty corrupted. The red shirts, yellow shirts ****. The government can't even hold of the red shirts as we speak cause of fuckin Thaksin who's basically a fugitive right now. I want people to realize all these things. And it's not just this situation in Thailand, it's a lot more problems around the world.

I'm a kid, no one's gonna listen to me speak. So, if I write about it, they might. The reason I chose writing was because it's my greatest talent. People LOVE my stories, so I've decided to write them with a moral or purpose. So far, they're loving it.

I'm also interested in taking IB History since I love the subject itself, and I could really use History to help me.

Bolt is right, you need to take one at a time. I too ended up just like you a couple of times Mr. JSF, I rush things too fast to the point of objects B, C, D and E aren't taken first before object F after taking object A. To simply put it this way just like how one Clinical Laboratory Scientist (though I am still a student) does a histopatholigic slide,

First thing is first in my field is that you have to get the sample of the said specimen and label it accordingly with the Px's name and other datas as well then the next steps follows:
-Fixation.
-Dehydration.
-Clearing.
-Embedding.
and a lot more till you reach the final step which is the reading in the microscope for the lab analysis and to the point of medical diagnosis which is our final destination.
Or to simply put it this way,
In a Hematology Section, one must learn how to do a proper blood smearing technique and staining procedures alongside the stocked up knowledge of the specific hematologic cells for the laboratory diagnosis.
Specimen ID:
-Identify your specimen source first by reading the name of the patient, knowing the date, time of collection and a lot more.
-Label the slide that you are going to get from the slide box. (Mislabelling=MORTAL SIN FOR A CLS/Medtech (or to the lesser extent, even as a student as well), OBOITOKE!)

Smearing:
-Take 2 slides (The frosted slide for the blood smearing and the spreader slide) from the slide box.
-Drop a drop of blood to the clear side of the frosted slide's frosted end (or near the frosted end) while holding the slide between the index finger, the middle finger and the thumb vertically.
- Touch the spreader slide with a 15-30 degree angle to the slide's end containing the drop of blood, raise move it upwards just a bit in order to spread the blood evenly and quickly yet gently slide the spreader slide to the side of which the thumb is situated.
-Quickly let it stand vertically with it's frosted end facing the ceiling (bottom) while the unfrosted area faces both the walls with it on top.
-Let it dry.
(Note: A good blood smear has a wonderful fat tail appearance with a rainbow appearance if you subject it to the light)
Staining (with the common hematologic stain, Wright Stain):
- When it is dried, dip it into a fixative first for about a minute.
- Next, dip it into the red solution of Eosin Y for about a minute or two.
- Then dip it into the blue solution of Methylene Blue for about a minute or two.
- Finally, rinse excess amounts of stains and blot it dry or just let it dry by itself.
Now you are ready for Complete Blood Counting. :thumbs:

(This technical stuff I shared to not only you JSF, but also to all is just based upon my experience as a medical student of BMLS).

Doing clinical laboratory work is a big process which is somewhat making a big challenge into ones life and self awareness. This is the same to your case, in order for you to go to your destination, you need to
-Know the topic that you are about to do or to write.
-Set the terms and boundaries of your topic.
-Research some stuffs that co-relate with your topic.
-Arrange them like .doc files in a computer and put them in the right folder or cluster.
-Once arranged, start targeting chief points and begin expounding them.
(Note, to go directly to the point may make your work less climatic so put some flowering words and add some details okay?)
-Sequence them again but this time, make it specific.
-Begin writing them down on a piece of separate (or your preliminary) paper (or encode them in the computer) for drafts and then let your mind flow to your writing hand/typing hands.
(Note: Be sure to put the proper grammar and stuffs just to make sure that you are doing things well)
- See your work and do some self proof reading so that you may see if you have errors in your work and that you can edit it anytime or to the area which contains vagueness or what.
- Then do a final version of your work and you're done. :thumbs:

(If anything here is wrong, then anyone please correct me for I am proud to be corrected)

I just go more stressed reading that long list I barely understand... XD

 

[Chronotia Archzenom]

Well, those are actually technical stuffs that I do in the lab when there is a lab exercise. Anyways... That's an example though of how one should take things one at a time as a process for one can't do 3 things or more at the same time (unless if we are dealing with our body's enzymatic and hormonal doings happening inside our body, now that is another story for we are no control over them voluntarily.) except when we are looking or watching some basketball play going on the basketball court while sitting down in the spectator's seat and listening to toku or anime or Western or Filipino, Middle Eastern or any mp3's at the same time, well that is applicable for that is of no doubt possible or we could do this, reading a comic book with a stroll and listening to mp3s while chewing Cloud 9 chocobar or drinking water or any bevies (beverages) at the same time, (well another possible stuffs) but the focus is diverted. So in this case, the key is "Focus".

Sentinel King brought up a good point as well: you have to be able to let your brain breathe if you want to have any kind of success in writing. It's neither healthy nor productive to rack your mind trying to come up with ideas, sentence structure, plot details or dialogue. Take it easy and let the words flow from thought to paper. Like I said before, you can always play around with it later. If you become a serious writer, your publisher, editor, agent, and everybody else you're involved with professionally will be pushing you for concepts, manuscripts, deadlines, etc., so be kind to yourself and let them do all the stressing for you. Write easy.
