Young writers discussion

When it comes to writing what problems do you come across?

A lot of telling instead of showing.
A lot of SAID when said is suppose to be DEAD.

Trying to describe a character

Trying to figure out topic and title

Plotline

setting the scene and describing it.

Descriptive writing.
And trying to explain a feeling instead of just saying 'she felt sad'

Trying to keep the story intersting

length

Just starting is the hardest part for me! I'm way too particular about the first sentences.

Coming up with character names.

Yes I agree

hmmm since ive only just started taking up writing...the hardest thing so far is the bit where...I'm always saying the word said he said or she said etc....instead of just spitting out wat they said...not sure if that makes sense

Just finding out what my character would do next since they change over the course of my book a lot

Finishing one story at a time! I tend to jump from one story to the next when I'm writing so finishing a book is a long process. I also tend to have carry-on sentences. :)

Yes.......

Me too! I am worried my story would seem repetitive.
