I've been wanting to do this since I was in fourth grade. There's rough drafts that I've attempted, but then I just kinda... stalled on. I want to try it again now, but I've still yet to think of a plot. I would like to write a story that actually has more of a message behind it as well, like The Lion King does, for example. Not just some epic fantasy-type thing. Someday I'll try to publish a few books. Someday.

But epic Fantasys are well - epic. Why not both though?
Like Lord of the rings for example - EPIC story, and it has some meaningful stuff too.
But yeah procrastination has really become a problem for me... your not alone.

I was planning on doing both Fantasy and making a plot with a message behind it as well. What I really meant was that I don't want to do JUST fantasy and nothing else. I want a bit of a mix to it as well. I like making it to where it's not too unrealistic, and not too realistic either.

Aahh I have started writing fanfiction kinda stuff (not super explicit, mind you) as requests/commissions to practice my writing skills~
I don't want to share it with people on FH quite yet, of course, and at the same time I'm also practicing with my own plots. Of course several of those kinda exist in personal files. Honestly when I write not much is reviewed unless its posted on 'An Archive of Our Own' (as that is so much better than fanfiction.net) or teachers get all nosy and ready through my 'person writings' part of my reading/writing journal, which I only have because sixth grade kinda requires that. (Usually they blabber about 'Oh there shouldn't be kissing!' 'Why is that character so violent?' ' You're style is so old-fashioned!' and unpositive stuff like that thank you teachers). But honestly, because I post some of my work on the internet (really it's mainly just Sherlock and Doctor Who drabble/my own written episodes because I've wanted to get into stuff like that, too~) I don't mind who reads it. They tend to be more rational than my own teachers, after-all, and my mother typically shoots me off with a 'Do you know what plagiarism is?'. Other-wise though, I'm public about what I write and how it is to be reviewed.
I prefer people over the internet reading stuff, reviewing it, and not saying it to my face than in-real-life people I can 'trust' (in most circumstances, I get the 'too many big words' thing.) One person, a friend of mine I attended a sports camp with, however, was quite interested in what I have to say~ However I don't show people in-real-life my stuff unless I just know they'll be impressed.
A lot of stuff I write myself fits in the 'Something Stephen King would write' category.
In other words it's typically disturbing in subjects despite my age. I want to explore a much darker sort of genre, however. Where you can get so much more creative with your villains and what they've done; even make the 'good guy' fall. The murders are gruesome and the punishments either better of worse~ I like the feeling of deciding how society deals with the villain presented in their story, if you may follow. However at the same time 'fantasty-type' things have been devloped, still containing an odd mixture of the more gruesomely poetic. I want to make something quite fictional, but more adult typed in the future, I suppose. Much more complex than the rather simple 'He/She is a hero chosen for a special quest; one in which will save them all. . ' sort of thing.
I've started a practice type of book, recording very detailed like the characters in a roleplay I'm in called The Warriors Rekindled. It's almost like a practice series you know? Since, well, I want to have at least three books published when I'm older... and I'm really into fantasy and such; and I have so many ideas! My friend Ki-chan (She's on FH, though her user is tricky to remember by heart ^^') has offered herself to edit it for me, and I'm having so much fun doing it with her. She's been trying to publish a book, and learned from her editor simple editing things that can be spotted and changed without changing the whole book it's self you know? It's very fun, and I'm learning allot so far!
