Writing

Ok, so trying to get back on this train of dreams and take writing up hasn't eactly been too easy. I write well and all, but I have a lot to learn. I have this great story idea that I have been working on, but when I put it to paper it comes across as a bunch of pretty words and images, but not a real story, at least that is how I see it. I think a good way to put it as it is this stunning and attention grabbing skeleton, but a skeleton alone, without muscles and other soft tissues, doesn't move. Catch where I am going with this? So I have to do research. Now I need maps and pictures and nonfiction books...ugh. I just hope that what I am learning as I figure all of this out is me being on the right path!
