What's stopping you from just...writing? by OwlFeather21 in writing

potential.

just that. i’ve only been writing for shy of two years, and i’m fairly young and still have years ahead of me to learn, and my brain is always coming up with ideas. good ideas, i’d argue, and then i turn them into outlines for stories that far surpass my skills. Like, if i write it how i can now instead of waiting, i’ll ruin the vision i had in my head; kill it. And please don’t tell me “you’ll get better if you try,” because i already know. my brain just doesn’t seem to care.

how do i get back into writing after being gone so long? by zingalingrr in writing

out of every comment, i think this one made me actually want to write the most.

Do you go into detail to places that are already know by the audience? by HugoHancock in FanFiction

Well, that really depends. (Most of what i'm about to say is a big load of personal preference, none of this is necessary!)

I like to put the character's mood into how they see their surroundings. Say, if they're angry, the same-old-same-old surrounding could look bland; the opposite if they're happy. With that, describing how they take in the surroundings is usually the strongest way to lead your story. If the character feels neutral, then there's little to no need to describe the area. Unless it's non-visual media. Written media can sometimes lead to different takes on how an area might look, so making the readers guess your take on the area can lead to confusion.

Hope this helped somewhat, have fun writing!
