Attempts to write my first manuscript?

Question:

Attempts to write my first manuscript?

I've tried numorous times to write a completed manuscript! But I always seem to get writers block or throwing it away in frustration! I have really great ideas, but nothing seems to work out. I'm not asking for ideas, I just want to know how to stay focused. Please help me!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Right. You know the story I'm posting (and you are so magnaminously reading - and I am grateful) this was in my head several months ago - before Christmas.
But then I couldn't even start. That was until a week ago when I asked a few people what they thought of a certain plot. They loved it. I was encouraged, so I decided to post a bit of my writing. Then I asked you guys to rate. I think the rating's quite good, thanks to your brilliant taste... ; )
Post parts of your writing on a blog and when you fell encouraged enough (when you've filled in the petrol, and are ready to speed off on the motorway) write your story. I'm sure you'll experience the Block again.
Again, post small scenes that you have not previously show. Get people to assure you that you are not off the track. See how your audience reacts to it. If they like it, it will boost your convfidence and it will mean there is a market for such a story. Then continue writing until the Block hits you again. Do this until you have the first draft done.
With the first draft done - relax. Yes, go to the beach, or go out for a massage (I'm planning to do that - must find a hot girl who would do it for me...lol) and let the energy ooze out of you. You have finished your manuscript. Now its time to rewrite, edit, polish, and publish!
Good Luck
If you do happen to post anything, you can rely on me to give an honest opinion. I also want to use this answerboard to inform you that the story-post you read recently is possibly my last post for now. I will not post another until I'm stuck - hopefully never!!! But I might just start my writing off with a little post - you never know.
Hope I answered your question as well as encouraged you.
Yours sincerely, Elijah Blake
