I actually don't want to talk about my story at a website that deals with writing stories, such as writers.com, because for places like that... all they really care about is money, and people there want to steal your idea and use it for themselves. I believe that you have a better chance of getting your idea stolen on a website like writers.com than here.

In addition, on writers.com specifically, you can only write a short prose, and no more. You cannot actually write an entire book there without getting a premium membership. I checked the website about 5 times in the past years, and no change was made to lift this restriction. I'm not a great writer, but I do have amazing plot development skills by viewing the big picture of how a story begins, develops, reaches a climax, and concludes. I already have 6 books in a series already lined out on how the plot should go, as well as a back of the book hooker. But since I don't know how to write the small details of a book, novel, or prose, I believe that I will get nowhere in writers.com, as people really only donate, or even read, a good, catchy, written prose, or something more along the lines of reader's marketing (writing what readers want to hear). I like to write what I believe and feel, what readers really don't care to read or hear. So, no one's going to read my proses on writing.com, since its not what they want to hear. I don't write to appease them. I write to appease myself. It's sad, because people only enjoy a good story when it pertains to them, and dont give new ideas a chance.

So, basically, I need help with finding a decent book that will help me gather my plot ideas into smaller, in-depth descriptions and eye-candy one-liner dialogue that will surely catch the reader's attention throughout the story.

Thanks.

P.S. I've read a few of the books out there that are about writing, but they usually don't pertain to me as they don't touch on the abilities and learning path that I have. (FYI, my learning path is slow and repetitive.)

We actually have a new Brainstorming Section under our Writer's Notebook area. Here people are able to post their ideas for stories or game plots and get the thoughts and inputs of others :D
