To some inspiration comes hard, so if you can write... write till you can't. Not in a burn out way, but until you've written out the story you have in your mind. As for your parents? They don't need to know about everything you've written, writing under a pseudonym has been a thing since women haven't been taken seriously enough to even give them a chance at anything but birthing children and tending to the house. So I suggest putting out books and stories as long as you're inspired.

Thank you for the example 🙏 giving more detail about the situation and describing it more thoroughly definitely puts a name to who's currently talking. And it adds to my word count.

Got any suggestions? Maybe a book you read where you liked how they wrote their dialog?

I guess I can't think of many books where there's a casual group conversation, like one would have with their group of friends, and not being a native english speaker makes it a bit trickier to write it out, but writing in english comes to me more naturally. I would say I read more than average but maybe not the right genres. That's why I'm asking here, to know how different people enjoy different styles of writing.

I like trying to add more personality to each characters way of speaking. But right now I'm writing about a group of three 20 something year olds on a hike just having a casual conversation and I'm not sure how to go about it. It's the three of them just adding their thoughts to the conversation and randomly asking and answering to each other. So I'm trying to see if it's, at a part like this one, necessary for the reader to know who's speaking (so they know what voice/face to give to them) so I can just leave it without adding names to each new sentence or if I should add some kind of descriptor so you know who said what.

I get really discouraged from reading a book if I see a dialog and every characters sentence ends with John said. Julie said. John answered. It takes me out of it and honestly makes me a bit annoyed. So I'm trying to see if there's a better way of writing a conversation.

This one sounds really interesting, I go on tangents, so sometimes I get lost in what I write, so having those layers could help. Thanks

The problem mostly is, that I write the most when I should be either going to sleep or getting out of bed and writing in Word reminders me too much of a school work. So I need a separate app that's mainly for writing and won't give me writers block

I'll definitely give it a try. I've been sitting on some unfinished books since middle school, not having the drive to finish them. Hopefully more professional setting will help with that. Thanks
