Writing a novel?
July 08, 2017
So how has the first 8
days of Camp NaNoWriMo 2017 gone?? Well… I’ve written 2000 words. And yeah sure, I put my goal at 10.000 so I could be sure I'd finish but I was hoping that I'd write at least 20.000
That's probably not gonna happen.
That's probably not gonna happen.
Guys this is going
terribly. I am so bad at more than a general outline of chapters; how the fuck
do you write a chapter longer than 1,400 words?? How do you describe setting
and situations?? Literally the only thing I can describe is a panic attack and
isn’t that just sad?
The thing is, I know
what you’re supposed to do, when writing the first draft of the novel. Just
write, write, write until you got the basic beginning, middle and end. But I
don’t really know what my middle is. Not even the basics. I just have around
five scenes in my head and I don’t freaking know how to get to the end.
When I was younger
everybody told me that I should become a writer. I loved writing stories and I
loved reading so I was pretty good at writing as well. But now… I haven’t
evolved in any way since I was 13 so suddenly my skills aren’t that good
anymore.
For Christ sake, I
don’t even know what my message is, which is like one of the main things you
need, when you start writing a book.
I do know what my themes are though; Mental Health and Friendship. Also 100% of the characters are LGBT+ and 50% are POC but those are not really themes, because they’re not really a big part of the story.
It makes me sad that I can’t get going with
the story cause I really love the idea and I adore my characters. I have 4 big
characters and I’d probably die for them. I have really well developed
characters (in my head cause I have yet to get the development down on the
page) so it sucks that I can’t give them the story they deserve.
Can someone give me
any tips on how to get motivated when writing? Or how to describe… well
anything really?
