It%26#039;s not very vibrant, doesn%26#039;t come alive . . . it just feels kind of dull. I get this feeling a lot, and it%26#039;s frustrating. Any advice?
(fiction writing)
What do you do when the writing just doesn%26#039;t feel natural?
um stop writing
or just write about a different topic
What do you do when the writing just doesn%26#039;t feel natural?
Try to visualize what you%26#039;re writing about, live it just as if you were the character.
It happens with me usually when i give myself a deadline!
Good luck!
Reply:I understand. There is one scene I think I%26#039;ve rewritten at least 20 times- no exaggeration, but I%26#039;m sure you know how that is. I just couldn%26#039;t get it right. So I set it aside and worked on a differnt part. Just flushing out more of the story really helped me get my thoughts right, so then I went back and reworked the scene and BAM got it right. Good luck!
Reply:Write it again, throw it away, write it again, throw it away, it%26#039;s the bad days that teach you the most.
Reply:Crumple it up. Toss it in the wastepaper basket. Take a walk, read a little, wash the dishes. Begin again.
