Encouragment for writers that I know seemsΒ discouraging at first but I promise itβs motivational-
β’ Those emotional scenes youβve 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 canβt articulate the emotion of a scene to your satisfaction doesnβt mean itβs not impacting the reader.Β
β’ Sometimes a sentence, a paragraph, or even a whole scene will not be salvagable. Either it wasnβt necessary to the story to begin with, or you can put it to the side and re-write it later, but for now itβs gotta go. It doesnβt make you a bad writer to have to trim, it makes you a good writer to know to trim.
β’ There are several stories just like yours. And thatβs okay, thereβs no story in existence of completely original concepts. What makes your storyΒ βoriginalβ is that itβs yours. No one else can write your story the way you can.
β’ You have writing weaknesses. Everyone does. But donβt accept your writing weaknesses as unchanging facts about yourself. Donβt be content with being crap at description, dialogue, world building, etc. Writers that are comfortable being crap at things wonβt improve, and thatβs not you. Itβs going to burn, but work that muscle. I promise youβll like the outcome.
For any writers that need encouragement
