THis is most likely a language processing learning disability. My daughter has this same problem but since we can't afford testing and programs to help her, we are just winging it and I'm trying to help her on my own but I don't know exactly what to do.

If you want to run faster what do you do? play the banjo? No, you go run and run some more.

You need to start writing your ideas down and stop being critical. Just get it on paper. Once on paper elaborate, change revise and update the data. Also look at what other writers do and steel ideas...we all do it.

I am a technical writer and a writing trainer. Writing is a learned skill, not a magical ability only few are graced with. Start doing it, and you will get better and it will get easier.  

Answer 3

It seems you're censoring yourself even before you write anything.  It's what's called writer's block.  The only answer is to ignore that little voice in your head that's telling you you can't do it.  Instead, shake yourself free of that and do it.

Don't worry if the spelling isn't correct or if you don't put all the exactly correct words down.  Just put the words on paper.  Later, you can go back and re-write whatever needs re-writing.

Answer 4

Then get a recording device you can speak into and play back later. You can get someone who is good at writing to make some sense out of it for you. trouble is when it comes to payday, you will have to share with the writer so record it and learn how to write it would be better.

Answer 5

Deary you need to invest in a tape recorder. Most journalist record themselves and play back what they said.  This way you can get both first reactions which is usually best or you can change it around.  You seem to be better in saying things spontaneously than thinking of something and second guessing yourself.  A recorder is the best solution.

Answer 6

Write all those stuffs in your head word by word, fast. Then start writing what you really want to write. Try combining them.

Answer 7

I have the exact same problem. I have too many ideas in my head that I can't seem to transfer to paper.

At least write down the basic details of your different plots so that you don't forget them for later!
