My story.

Hmm it has some mistakes, hope you like it anyway. :)
Here we go:

It was just another usual day at the hotel by the bright ocean. There were only a few clouds in the sky and the wind was blowing gently. There was no new guests around, except two. No one had been counting the days there, but it was supposed to be a midspirng day.
A slender young man was wandering around the coast, grumbling, with his hands in his pockets. His black hairas neither short nor long, his greey eyes seemed obviously confused but also a bit excited. He was like looking for something he had lost.
“Austin?” said the manager to himself, who was taking a glance at the young man from his office’s window. “Austin.”
However, Austin was too busy to realize him watch, with his head in the clouds, lost in deep thoughts. He had never wanted to come here, he even hadn’t any memories about him and his sister’s childhood. “Think it as a holiday.” He murmured patiently. “No more than a holiday.” Then, he kept on searching for his missing backpack.
He didn’t notice the sparking-eyed girl of medium height approaching either. Anyone could say she was so cheerful –maybe a bit more than necessary under those conditions- because she was smiling even when she came nearer the young man who didn’t look to be content about anything at that moment.
They accidentally ran into each other. “Ouch!” cried Austin as though he had been dreaming, but when their eyes met, he became much nicer. The girl looked extremely sorry for what had happened. There was something different about her. No, nothing at all when you take a look: her golden hair was surrounding her long face, her skin was pretty pale and she had some childish freckles. No different than a usual 21-years-old girl. But the only eye catching thing about her was the look in her giggling eyes.
-Oh sorry, said Austin.
-No problem.
-So… It’s Austin, what about you?
The girl paused for a while and slightly smiled, Austin was kind of amazed that he didn’t even wonderwhy.
-Amanda.
They sat there on a rock and talked for a few hours. Austin had already forgotten what he was doing and why. The whole world was way more meaningful than it had ever been, everything was marvellous –including the little butterflies in his stomach- and even the manager of the hotel might not be suspicious about his weird manners. But all of a sudden his backpack came up to his mind so he stared around. Then, he heard Amanda’s friendly voice:
-Is this yours?
-Oh yes! Where was it?
-Ahh I found it just over there.
-Thanks, thanks!
He looked at his watch, not sure how much time passed by. It was already half past ten. He knew he had to leave for his meeting and sighed.
-Oh no. I had better go now. I’m almost late.
He really meant what he said. He didn’t want to go away at all.
-See you soon! said Amanda and smiled expressively.
Austin grabbed his backpack and rushed into the entrance where he should have been waiting at for his stepsister. She must already have been there. He sat on a bank next to the door, and looked for the piece of paper on which some instructions about the meeting was written, for a while.
Instead, he found another one which said, “Hey brother. “

Comment by Caitlin Loughlan on March 26, 2013 at 6:47pm: Hey, I read your little paper boats story, i thought it was very nicely written, also "I had a strange dream last night." is a great way to start a story. Also, I'm pretty new to both this site and trying to write stuff but i made an account on that figment site and posted the first section of a story I've been attempting to write, everyone has got to start somewhere... It's not finished yet but I'd love some feedback.

Comment by Dylan Edgell on March 25, 2013 at 5:37pm: Would anyone like to read/critique my story? If so... http://figment.com/books/368874-Little-Paper-Boats

Also if you don't know about figment it is a great website to host your stories! Thanks!

Comment by Teresa on March 25, 2013 at 4:41am: Thanks everyone for the great advices, I might try them out, I think I might actually relax for a few days as I've had headaches for days and I can't even think. :) I will if I ever need help, thanks E.E.Finn.

Comment by E.E. Finn on March 24, 2013 at 7:17pm: Teresa, there are many things you can try when Writer's Block strikes. I often find that giving myself writing tasks helps to find inspiration. I also tend to keep a notebook of pieces of writing I've done when I've felt inspired, or pictures of places, quotes, descriptions of moments, etc.

I run a literary blog that helps writers when they need it. If you need some advice feel free to email us: contact@oraclebone.co.uk and we can send you a whole host of things that might help get you back into writing!

Comment by Tamar Weasley on March 24, 2013 at 6:43pm: Teresa, what I've found is that if you are having writers block, it might be good to take a break and just think.

Comment by Samantha Ryan on March 23, 2013 at 7:21pm: @Teresa- Definitely changing where and when you write can help. I also find that if you change HOW you write, it can be a nice shake up for your creative juices. IE If you usually type up your stories on a computer, try handwriting some stuff and vice versa.

Whatever you do, don't force it. Sometimes, you just need a week or two away from your work. Listen to music, go to a museum, go for a walk, and read a book.

Good luck! DFTBA!
