User blog comment:SoulSocks/PLEASE READ!!! Making up for my "ShittyPasta"! SockDroor Update!/@comment-1631480-20140306021233

I'm glad that your first pasta didn't stop you from writing! Obviously to read and write are the best ways to improve. Now, don't take what I'm saying too close to heart, because my intention is to help, not offend you.

I personally think your new idea is very average. Sometimes using imagination can be a skill, and it takes lots of thought and study to make it stronger. The concept of a guy who gets therapy because of his parents, and finds that there's a killer on the loose, so he has to catch him. This isn't the whole story I'm guessing, but I don't think it's something that you should copyright. :P

When writing a story or concept, you should constantly question. This will make your story much more developed and richer. Why is he trying to catch the killer if that's what the police and forensics are for? How did the killer not get caught? Why is there murder happening in the first place? etc. And do this for almost everything in your story.

Also, something that helps me with coming up with new ideas is to delve into life, because you can't get any crazier then reality. Study the patients the next time you go to therapy, or ask your parents about their upbringings. Look at the creases in the pathway, or visit the river and look at the way the water wrinkles. And just think; it doesn't have to make sense. Maybe Damian remembers that he drowned, but somehow he's still alive. He insists that he's dead, but can't seem to find much evidence (Super duper copyrighted idea don't steal). With basic concepts that you aquired from looking at the water you can build apon it and turn it into something kinda cool, perhaps even decent?

Also, what's a therapy center? Is it similar to rehab? I'm actually curious, I found limited infomation online.

Here's a great website that helped me when I wanted to start writing.
