Wrighting my books?

Post Reply New Topic

Avreytime i wright my books i do a good job other then one big problem i dont relise till the end.
I repeat my words in the book because i can never exsplane my persons feelings i want them to have and trying to exsplane them ends up becomeing a problem for a little i just forgot about it.
But its so bad that it ends up not being good because theres so much of the repeating things.
I wont repeat the same word no but ill try exsplaneing an emostion i know my emostions just some of them are hard for me to exsplane. And ill end up exsplaneing them in many diffrent ways and not relise till i re read it then its like crap now it dosent look good and will take forever to fix.
how can i become a wrighter with this problem?!

(When i was little they new i had a hard time exsplaneing things but not some emostions)
I do get my emostions very well just some of them i dont understand very well and cant exsplane) and with know one knwoing back then i never got help. and now its messing with what i want to do when i get older become a good wrighter.

Simple answer: rewrite!
Few of us mere mortals can write a masterpiece in a single draft. D.H. Lawrence allegedly could get away with a single draft; but as one of his rivals (another writer) when told this about Lawrence, answered dryly with: "You can tell."
But seriously; the first draft is rarely the finished product. Think of writing as working with clay - you continually mold your work of art till you have what you want.
My biggest problem is, I would continuously try reworking what I had written before I had finished the whole draft - and thus I'd get bogged down, and get frustrated or lose interest. My goal is to start rewriting only after a draft is complete.
But essentially, finish a draft, then work on a rewrite, in which you can develop your characters' emotions. Write as many drafts you think are necessary, till you believe you're saying what you want to say.
Finding a writers group might be helpful. That way, you have other writers giving you hopefully constructive criticism.
Hope this helped.

how do i do that if i dont understand how to wright down the emostiosn?

How do your characters act when they are angry, sad, happy, etc? I'm sure you've been told before, show, don't tell, in regard to writing. Describing a character's angry tears, or toothy grin is going to evoke an image in your reader's mind, much more than just telling how the character felt.
I hope I've been helpful.
