Bad luck.

*

I'm bullied.

*

That it is not good enough and that I will spell something wrong.

*

I'm always afraid that it won't be as good as the books "big" authors write. But I'm proven wrong every time my mom says: "This is the best thing you've ever written!!!"  That always makes me feel pretty good, but somehow, even when I hear that more than once, I'm still afraid it won't be as good...

*

I'm afraid that the message will be lost when the Story is edited down to suit the word count.

*

I'm afraid that I will never be as good as my friends are at writing, and that I'll always be mediocre.

*

I overthink about my story and the next steps and decisions. I think my characters will not be developed enough.  I fear I won't ever get to where I want with my story, that it won't have a message.

*

My stories are boring and never make sense.

*

I'm making some original characters and new species and I'm scared people will maybe think that my characters are not unique and are all the same...

*

I fear that I will never start and that my ideas will rattle around my head forever. I fear that I won't have the time to write and will always be busy.  But most of all I fear that I will waste my time because it will never be important enough...

*

I have trouble starting.  I take a long time to think of an idea.

*

I am scared that I won't be able to convey the emotions and ideas and characters fully and how they are in my head. I am afraid that people will find my stories silly and unrealistic because my writing style is not very mainstream.

*

I'm scared that my stories will not be liked by anybody because I am not using 'normal' cliches, or stereotypes, in my stories.

*

Good graphics and thinking of a storyline.

*

I am utterly terrified that this thought I have in my head, this grand feeling of an idea for a story I've been working on won't come how I want. Worst yet I'm paralyzed by the idea I'll NEVER be able to write the story with the emotion and impact I want it to have...

*

Not being able to finish it and leaving it as an idea only. I have this tendency to write sections, never whole stories :/

*

I'm concerned about my story's realistic-ness and how I can bring my stories to life. Everytime I think of a good story idea, I get excited, write a story about it, read it, then realize that it sounds like it was written by a four-year-old who doesn't know truth from imagination. The story just seems so...2D.

*

What if I don't know what to write

*

I worry that my story won't be convincing enough. It's a fantasy story (the world is fictional) but based on true events.

*

I fear of making human sketches, I fear as they never come out to be good.  I fear failure.

*

Fear of the dark

*

I'm afraid that either I have too much or too little figurative language.

*

Everything

*

That it won't be any good.

*

My mom told me that I should keep my stories to myself, if I share them they will be ruined and people will think ill of me.

*

I worry that my story will be too predictable and formulaic.  I worry that I won't have enough surprises or be able to create a world that is very intriguing.

*

I am afraid that the longer I write I will end up ruining my own story.

*

I fear that someone will read my deep deep thoughts...

*

I start writing and when I'm writing I'll write something and it gives me an idea about another story.  So I screw up the page and start again using the idea that popped into my head earlier and then I'll keep getting ideas and starting over and over again.  And I need to work on a better vocabulary because even I get bored of reading my own stories.

*

That my stories and my videos will not be liked.  After all, I am MUCH different than most people my age idea-wise.  And most kids my age will NEVER pick up my books and read them, or click on one of my videos and ignore them.

*

That my writing will either offend people or come out as corny. For example, someone bullied me and I wanted to write about it but the bully might get upset. I could write about it at home but I really don't have time.

*

I want to write about gay rights and sexism but the only time I have time to write is during school. I'm afraid that people will think that my concerns are weird and boring.

*

My fear is that whatever I write won't be good enough and that people would hate it...

*

I'm scared of not being able to finish the story. When I start writing the plot, I end up with too much details instead of an easy outline for the story. I also want it to be original, which makes it even harder.

*

Spiders

*

It will never be good enough. It will sound horrible compared to other writers. People will laugh and say I'm not a good writer. That I should just give it up. People will tell me to stop wasting my time on something that will never come true. I'll read what I wrote and think it's horrible. I will never measure up. No one will ever realize what writing means to me.

*

Writer's block and making a bad story.

*

It isn't good. I will never be a good writer. I will never be able to turn this blank page into a good story. I will never be able to finish this. My work is horrible.

*

I fear snakes and spiders.

*

I can't carry on with my story... And I'm afraid I'll be rushed. Not by my friends; by myself. I also don't include connectives or openers and my scenes are rubbish.

*

That the plot will get lost in the transition from my brain to the page. Not being able to finish the stories I start on. Trying to make a plan before I start, but I can never seem to follow it and the plan doesn't make sense anymore when I start.

*

That I will not know what to name a character or creature while writing and have to put off the story to think about it.

*

When I start a story I don't have any ideas and for one whole lesson all I do is think think think.

*

That people will think I am copying and stealing ideas.

*

That it will not be a good story. No one will like it :(

*

I fear that my story will not turn out the way I want it to. Or that it will lose people's attention.

*

Having a character that does not come together the way I wanted. Making a horrible new world or type of person/creature.

*

The dark. Being alone... Never being able to get enough support... Always trying to correct myself... Never feeling like I'm right.

*

I'm afraid that if I don't build up my confidence soon I'm going to throw my supposed amazing work away.

*

I always start stories and then I start to fear that I'll give up on them because it's too boring or I don't like it. I am a creative person but I just don't have the creativity to think of places or names of places.

*

I have no idea what happens in the middle!  I don't want it to be boring!  Can I make something so interesting even if I don't know what to write?

*

Disappointing readers. I'm an author who doesn't write just for fun, but also for the entertainment of others.  I always listen to criticism and try to improve my work, but at times, it just makes it worse.

*

What happens when I run out of ideas?

*

I fear leaving out important things in my work, I fear that I always forget things halfway through the story. That's my fear.  I can't finish things.

*

What if my story is boring?

*

I'm afraid the story will be predictable and that people will be able to tell I'm not a "real" artist.

*

I don't know if my ideas will be good enough to provoke a memorable story. In all honesty, I fear I won't get any ideas at all, and the few ideas I may conjure up won't 'cut it' for a great book.

*

I'm always afraid of people not liking my work and thinking that I can't draw or that my stories are stupid.

*

What if I realize the story isn't worth it? What if I get writer's block that never goes away? Would people honestly want to read this? The publishing companies might not even look at it...

*

I won't be able to transmit my passion for writing to my students.

Grammar!!!! And ideas!!!!!!  And sometimes I am not able to elaborate!

Grammar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That I will forget a part and have to re-write.

*

I fear I don't get any ideas... and the few ideas I do have don't make a great story.

*

I fear that my (picture book) story will be so boring, that it is not even worth all the time I spent on writing and illustrating it....

*

I am afraid that my story will be too long and boring.

*

Everything! This is my 1st story book and I'm nervous about adding too many characters, having the main character meet too many people on his journey to becoming a man and finding his identity.

*

That people won't like what I wrote.

*

I don't know if my ideas are good ones to write about.

*

What if my story is boring?
