I dont have anything written really, a couple 100 to 1000 words here and there but what Im struggling with is what to do as we move from point to point. I know what the big points are and the crucial moments but am having a hard time with the smaller things, the dialogue, character development, etc to get me from one moment to the next. I would love to just have someone to talk to (through PMs or emails or whatever) who I could share my ideas, the big outline some of the character ideas I have, and then have them give me insight on it and maybe help move me along from point to point.
I actually have 2 things Im working on. My first one was a young adult fantasy type love triangle story. I had about 10,000 words at one point but after joining here I knew my work wasnt up to snuff so I scrapped it and restarted so Im just shy of 4,000 words on it now but I feel like its better, tighter writing, better character and scene development (its still poor Im sure but better then attempt one and thats all I can ask for at the moment)
The second story is actually an idea that crept up in my mind as of late, partially due to all the political nonsense being shoved around since its election year. The story idea came to me after a brief conversation with my husband and I actually had the entire thing outlined (as in the big points) in a day. I started work on that and have around 1700 words. Im not sure how to categorize it, it might be young adult but the subject matter is more serious too. Its also got a little bit of a message maybe to it Im not sure what to call it. I will say this story has more meat and passion to it perhaps because of my own personal stance and views about things like it.
Anyways Im just really looking for a friend to talk to and slowly help me obtain some kind of coherency in my writings. Thanks!
