Well my fellow comunity members. I have an idea that has been burning away inside of me for some time now and i feel i must try to pen it. The problem is my ability to write a story is seriously limited due to the fact that A) i am dislexic and B) i always want to see an end and thus can not see a middle. Sooooo I will post the idea and the basis of the story to you guys and hope that the input will help me write it. At the moment i have abaout 2 pages of ideas but no real contects.

please feel free to help or even write if you feel my idea is good!

Idea

Blood of a hero (this is also my title)
the basis of this is superman gets shot with a krypronite bullet. This causes him to crash land.
lucky for him its in a female medical students back yard.
she overcomes her fear to see who it is
uses her knowlage to remove th bullet but in the prosess cuts her self thus mixing each others blood.
Over the next few weeks/months she slowly gains his abilitys but keeps them a seacret.
then it leads into her adventures of her learning to control her new powers

Sounds great.  You can get some ideas about how to write it from my story Jilly Milly, which also used "a steal superboy's powers from his blood" theme.  I don't claim any exclusive rights to that idea!

I like it.  Somewhat reminiscent of She Hulk origin.


Depending on how bad your dyslexia is, maybe just asking someone to read it over for you combined with spell check can solve that problem. 

As for wanting to skip to the end when writing, see if you can break the story down to a series of scenes and chapters, and arrange them in the order you want them to occur (post-its can actually help organize these ideas!)
Then, instead of wanting to jump to the end of the story, you'll be thinking about just jumping to the end of each scene instead. 

Good luck!

I second those suggestions!  It is not that unusual for someone to write the ending of a story and then slowly develop a skeleton and then flesh-in the rest.  I just read that J.K. Rowling wrote the last chapter of the seventh book (the seventh is as yet unpublished) of her Harry Potter series before she completed the outline for the first book.  I can empathize: the beginning is always the most difficult part for me to write.

There are lots of talented people here who would probably not mind helping you proofread something if you wish.  Not to volunteer anyone but AlexG was an invaluable proofreader for my story "Compounding Interest".  I have helped a few folks as well.

Tschuss!
