A new dream?

Feb 04, 2009 11:03

My obsession with the Twilight novels has made me wish I was a better writer. Well, actually, I have always enjoyed writing... I just have never felt creative enough to write fiction. I think I can write a good story, if given characters, world, etc... The part I stumble on is creating the characters and the world.

So, since many of you are good ( Read more... )

Write, write, and write some more.

That's all I've got. Advice from a non-writer. Worth everything that you paid. :-D

As intriguing as that is, and as annoying as the real world is, I need to come back to it sometime...

Although I have been considering this as a jumping off point, something to flex the muscles Prudence mentions above...

I don't know if it's a learned skill, but I've always been able to, in High school, BEFORE a teacher had me, they would say "at least 5 pages typed", AFTER, they would say "5 to 10 pages typed" I once handed in 27 pages about Clara Petacci, Mussolini's mistress. I got an A, but I think the teacher was NOT amused with having to read it. Just find something you like, and write about it, also, it's not some mortal sin to "borrow" attributes from people you know in "real life" to model your characters in a story. As far as creativity goes, I've seen what you can sew, and you live with little kids, I KNOW you're creative. **Smiles**
