Im 18 and I tried making stories a few times. Three of those I deleted it because i solely based it on my life. As the months go by writing those three stories, i couldn't really make an ending so deleted it. I think it was last year or two years ago that i was able to make a plot from scratch. it wasn't that good, but it was a first that hopefully had a backbone and will not die. Since I was in my fourth year in high school and first year in college, i didn't had much time to think of the story but now that its my summer break, well i had a break and lots of ideas came to my head and i actually made progress in the story. i have a plan, but i have to make it happen.
