Me too! Seriously. Every story I look back on has either no ending or a reall sloppy one.
i have the same freaking problem!
Whatever I write, I can never seem to finish it.
i want to write a mystery novel but i dont know how to start
me too.
when i write a story, i imagine as if im the main character and what i would want to happen to me through the story. This gives me a better aspect of how other characters would react to the actions of what I (the main character) would do.
sweet this will help me write my second book in my series. hey maybe I should make a writing club…
hehe yeah… weird..
Have u written any books?
Idk if that’s a positive comment or not.
she kinda looks like a little girl
i usually write all my stories like as if i was making a puzzle. A piece from there and another piece from there… I dunno if it is harmful for the story?
I’m currently writing a novel, and it is hard to have the self control to do it. I used to think you had to FEEL like it to write, but you don’t. You just gotta sit down and do it. Also, I used to spend days on one part of my story, and then get sick of it and give up, but what she was saying is true. Write through the whole story first, and then rewrite and make it the best. :) Thanx fo’ the help!
TY! The hardest thing is to commit to writing in your own time, not the actual writing cos you get into yr stride. I’ve started mine, effort is sporadic but you know when you just HAVE to tell the story?!
I love your engagement ring- I am having a hard time writing start to finish- it’s like in pieces, I hope that’s not a bad thing, but the whole thing put together is in my head
expert? what are the names of the novels you have written?
this really helped me especially the outline thing
She is very informative. I really appreciate all her videos. I want to write, but had no idea where to begin. Now I feel pretty confident to get started
Good video.
i love u
Not bad-states too much of the obvious really.
I just love writing storys like the artic penguin i am going to write.
