    ​@@lawrencebolt3540 Sorry for the delayed response. I actually was on a writing spree, then couldn't find the post. I completed three more pages of that story and about twenty or so pages of another story before hitting a wall. I started a few more stories and had to look back at them and try to figure out what I was doing wrong. I spent a few days watching writing videos and slowly realized I had similar major problems in most of my stories: 1) too many characters; 2) I was writing villain vs villain stories; 3) I would switch stories each day; 4) My stories were longer than what I was skilled for; 5) I was playing three video games daily; and 6) KZread can distract me for hours at a time. As a side note, my stories would be considered "fan fiction." I have two original stories on the back burner, but I'm not even going to start them until I work through all my faults. The 93 page story (now 96) I have 59 characters that have already been introduced with a dozen more planned. Four out of the six stories I have are villain vs villain. (Two, the protagonist/anti-hero aren't known as villains at the start; one corrupts himself, the other is a reveal.) I cut back to writing between two stories at a time, but now I'm just doing one, which I've been consistent with. I don't write as quickly as other people. Definitely not as fast as the professional authors suggest; I might get a thousand words in a day. (I can type 50-60 wpm if I'm copying something, but not when writing my own stories). I have a short story completed and am working on a novella length, medieval fantasy now which should be completed by the end of April. I could possibly finish it sooner, but I still play one video game daily (takes 1 to 1 1/2 hours) and KZread still draws me in. ;)

    @@grondhero sounds like you've got quite a lot on your plate! Lol I'm happy to see you trotting along at your own pace. I myself used to suffer from the "wild horse syndrome". I'd be making perfect progress on a story , and then I'm swept up in the ecstasy of the scene and before I know it, I've broken loose from the stables and now I'm Galluping away! Spiralled off a couple more pages, talking about stuff using my extreme creativity, tapping myself on the back for each hidden jewel I masterfully hid... however from the outside looking in, it can appear as if I'm flogging a dead horse and the point had been achieved far sooner... " You had them from hello", is what I try to tell myself when these moments of passion happen. I also write stories, like musicians view music. Where I break the pages up into 4bars 8 bars Or 16 bars I have a 4 step structure that I follow, I contract it for the 4 bar, and expand it for the 16 bar. But the 4 step structure is always consistent. In this sense, my writing becomes fractal in form. This structure allows me to keep moving forward and to evenly distribute my creative juices so that i don't over cook myself. This is all probably of more interest to me than it is to you, but I thought I'd tell my self it publically one more time lol Stay focused. Sleep well, eat well and good luck! Best wishes,

    Very interesting. Perhaps not a part of how writers write, but an interesting element. Steinbecks story also involves an upper middle class upbringing in Southern California. He had talent and opportunity. Being a creative is often thankless and fruitless financially. It helps enormously to have resources and connections. With resources, talent and hard-work and discipline, a few succeed.

    Very informative information about how to be a good writer! Thank you! For example, ever since I was a kid, I’ve dreamed of putting my career and life into writing. At the age of 13 she began to write poetry, there is a fairy tale, an unfinished novel-research, many entries in personal diaries, but apparently, need structure and completeness. Until all this is not finished and in the table. I really hope in the future to publish my love lyrics with friends. I think the world will accept it no worse than in the past Pushkin was accepted!

    As once said, "Writing is easy. All you have to do is sit down at your Typewriter and Bleed. I believe in the way the movie, Finding Forest, protradeed. I just sit down and start writing no pressure, just enjoy yourself. I write seven to eight pages at a time, when I feel like it. I write four to five times a week at anytime of the day or night. Writing comes easy for me. I am a free-handed writer. I just write without device to help. No brain storming just write automatically.

    5:09 The Internet suggests "If a scene or a section gets the better of you and you still think you want it-bypass it and go on. When you have finished the whole you can come back to it and then you may find that the reason it gave trouble is because it didn't belong there". Isn't that pulling stuff out of context?
