I am trying to come up with an idea for a novel. I am so stuck. I have a few ideas but they aren't fully fleshed out. I can't think them through to their conclusion. Or I have characters but I am not sure what their conflict is. Or I have an opening scene in my head but I am not sure where the scene leads to. I have too many missing pieces. I try to outline the story but then it feels ... not like me. Not true to me. Or too juvenile. Like I don't have a theme.
This is incredibly frustrating for me.
I have only once written a story through to the end. And that story was partly autobiographical. I had something I needed to get out of my head. Something I needed to work out on the page.
The things I need to work out these days are more difficult. I am not sure how to write them down. Or where to start.
Maybe if I could write those things down I would have an easier time?
