Encouragment for writers that I know seems discouraging at first but I promise itâs motivational-
âĸ Those emotional scenes youâve planned will never be as good on page as they are in your head. To YOU. Your audience, however, is eating it up. Just because you canât articulate the emotion of a scene to your satisfaction doesnât mean itâs not impacting the reader.Â
âĸ Sometimes a sentence, a paragraph, or even a whole scene will not be salvagable. Either it wasnât necessary to the story to begin with, or you can put it to the side and re-write it later, but for now itâs gotta go. It doesnât make you a bad writer to have to trim, it makes you a good writer to know to trim.
âĸ There are several stories just like yours. And thatâs okay, thereâs no story in existence of completely original concepts. What makes your story âoriginalâ is that itâs yours. No one else can write your story the way you can.
âĸ You have writing weaknesses. Everyone does. But donât accept your writing weaknesses as unchanging facts about yourself. Donât be content with being crap at description, dialogue, world building, etc. Writers that are comfortable being crap at things wonât improve, and thatâs not you. Itâs going to burn, but work that muscle. I promise youâll like the outcome.
For any writers that need encouragement
