Wonderful! I bet your story is going to be awesome! I'm a writer myself. :) And the best thing about writing is you can write things without pretending. Write how you want things to happen and make it random. Be original and don't be scared to let your personality dance on the pages of your book. But the first thing you have to do is have a story plot. and then a problem like a tragic problem in your story or something suspenseful. People really don't like stories with no suspense. You have to keep in mind- "How can I make my reader want to turn the next page?" Have you ever read your favorite book? Notice how the writer writes in a way to make you want to read the book. The key about being a good writer is keep reading. and learn and discover the different styles of other writers- and that is when you can find out your own style.

and also  it is always best when you use real life evince and experiences that happened to you- that way the story feels real.

I know this is not my post lol but I have a question, I have problems thinking of a problem for my stories do you know any suggestions for getting inspired?

Hahaha no problem! Lets see... I get asked that a lot. Most people can't find a climax for their story but they have the idea. So your just missing a few strings. What I usually do when this happens to me- I just sit there in think- most of the times I can't think of it on my own so that is when I ask a few of my friends to brain storm with me- and if that does not work I go some place and have a little adventure. Weather it be site seeing, shopping, going to a small cafe, walking to the park or even leaving out of town for a little bit. I am currently writing a web novel series and I needed a climax/plot/and a few other things to make my story solid and i was also looking for my perfect Prince. I didn't want to be cliche, I wanted to be original so I decided to go on a retreat this Easter and while I was there we went to go see a castle and I was able to meet a few "boys" ;-) and I got inspired that they were going to be part of my story- Knights in shining armor. But of course i did not tell them that hahaha. But it is really life events that happen to us that inspire us. Things we see on the street or even music we listen to. Sometimes we have to put our pen down and just sit in silence and wait for that moment when something out of the blue will inspire us. :) I hope this helps! If you have any more question I am more than happy to help you out!
