Writer's block

I love to write. I love putting together words to make stories people are interested in. I love forming a sentance that sounds just right. I just....I love it. And it's what I'm best at.
The thing is, I never know what to write about. I'll get an idea for an opening of a story, or a character, or just some small part. But I never know where my stories are going. I can never figure out what happens next. My stories tend to fall apart very quickly, because I decide they don't turn out well at all.
So, how to get over my writer's block? Possibly I just need to focus more. Make myself actually think things through. That way I know what the general plan is before I start writing. That'd probably would help a lot. Other than that...I really don't know. Maybe steeping away from the story for a bit would be all I need.
Either way, if I actually start a story I like, I promise to let you know.

Driving lessons

I've recently started learning how to drive. Yes, it's exciting. Yes, it'll give me freedom to go wherever I want, well, so long as I have a car. Yes, I'm glad I'm finally old enough. But I'm terrified too.
I'm driving a couple of tons of metal down the road. What happens if I mess up? I could hurt or kill somebody. How am I going to focus on everything at once? How am I going to be able to react in time if something goes wrong?
O.K., deep breath. Being nervous behind the wheel is only making things worse. Stay calm. There, now, don't think about that. Focus on the road. What's comming up ahead of you? Good, just a slight adjustment with the steering wheel. Not too much! There, that's better.
Right, one step at a time. I haven't crashed, so far. My dad's car isn't scratched up. And, I actually got behind the wheel for the first time. Maybe I can avoid killing anybody afterall. Of course, I still need to actually earn the liscense and practice a lot more before I hit the streets. Still, I'm getting there.
