How do I think of and creat scenes for stories? It's driving me crazy. Every scene I write feels so FUCKING STUPID and directionless, like I'm running around with no head. It totally kills my motvation to write when I sit down and cannot think of ANYTHING good.

Are there any good techniques or exercises one can do do develop the scene creating skill? I'm desperate.

It doesn't really have anything to do with the expectations of others. It's all for my own personal gain and happiness. I want to be more well-read and to know things, because it's what I'm interested in, and achieving such a thing will make me feel more satisfied. It's the same reason I lift weights and work out numerous times a week, not because I care about other people and their impressions of me, but because I want to feel good with myself.

I have things I want to accomplish. I've grown up my entire life absorbed in various forms of media, such as anime, manga, and video games, and recently literature as well. I want to be able to give other people the same feelings and enjoyment that I have been given by absorbing the things I enjoy, but I don't feel that I can ever reach such a level until I become more comfortable with my own reading abilities. I want to write novels for my own satisfaction, and for others to enjoy as well.

Surely everyone here has come across some book that gives them a great feeling, any feeling, something that touches them in such a way that they'll want to go out and do SOMETHING. That's what I want to give to other people. I've spent my entire life surrounded my the various arts, and I want to be a part of it. I used to be really big into drawing, but I've become more interested in literature as time goes on.

I just don't feel that intelligent enough to achieve the things I want to achieve. The amount of books I've read is just a tiny drop in a bucket. I can't even begin to visualize the stories I want to tell because I can't even begin to put them into words, I lack the intelligence.
