I often find that it isn’t easy to
find the right words when I’m working on a story. I’m left struggling to come
up with the right phrasing to convey my intentions for the scene. The effort to
come up with the right combination can either flow easily like water from a
faucet or, as it happens most of the time, feels like I’m bashing my head
against a brick wall. I know what I want to happen in my writing but left
stalled by the inability to write a single word.
It is puzzling to know that you have
an idea of what you want to happen but struggle to find the right way in which
to say it. After all, the best writers show what’s going on rather than tell
the audience. That is a hard balance to find, especially for an amateur writer trying
to practice their craft before taking it to the professional scene. Perhaps,
that’s often what stops me from finding my way even through my first draft of
my novel. I worry so much about how bad it is currently that I forget that it’s
a first draft.
However, help has been found online.
Trolling pinterest and other parts of the net has turned up several aids for
writers looking for help on how to do certain things in their work. I found
these sources very helpful even if I’m working on side projects like the
occasional fan fictions that I work on. It is all practice no matter what form
the writing takes. So with these aids at my fingertips I’ve begun working once
more. If any of you want to find these helps for yourself I’ll leave a link to
my creative writing pin board below.
I hope to see you all again next
week with more from either of my stories for you to read over.
