Encouragment for writers that I know seemsย discouraging at first but I promise itโs motivational-
โข Those emotional scenes youโve 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 canโt articulate the emotion of a scene to your satisfaction doesnโt mean itโs not impacting the reader.ย
โข Sometimes a sentence, a paragraph, or even a whole scene will not be salvagable. Either it wasnโt necessary to the story to begin with, or you can put it to the side and re-write it later, but for now itโs gotta go. It doesnโt make you a bad writer to have to trim, it makes you a good writer to know to trim.
โข There are several stories just like yours. And thatโs okay, thereโs no story in existence of completely original concepts. What makes your storyย โoriginalโ is that itโs yours. No one else can write your story the way you can.
โข You have writing weaknesses. Everyone does. But donโt accept your writing weaknesses as unchanging facts about yourself. Donโt be content with being crap at description, dialogue, world building, etc. Writers that are comfortable being crap at things wonโt improve, and thatโs not you. Itโs going to burn, but work that muscle. I promise youโll like the outcome.
For any writers that need encouragement
