I have an idea for the story but I'm struggling to write it
I'm new to writing but I have planned a story that I think can potentially be a great series but I'm struggling to write it, I know exactly what I need to do but I can't execute it, my writing feels terrible. Any tips on how I can improve my writing skills to a point where I can comfortably write? Im asking for advice everywhere and VLR is no exception, I need as much help as I can get.

Consume your content in English. That’ll widen your vocabulary and you’ll have a lot of phrases and expressions in your repertoire.

havent done much long stuff recently but this is just my opinion

  • read more - pay attention to devices and phrases that you like and want to use for yourself
  • just write - its cliche advice but similar to visual art, you can't reasonably expect your work to live up to your own expectations right away - better to get things down, accumulate experience, and come back to it later with fresh eyes. writing is an iterative process. this includes being willing to take a break from your main story sometimes and trying to write other things to expand your perspective

I think you should write all that comes from your ideas, with that your brain will advance step by step. Sometimes the best writing starts from a good draft.

draw it like a comic book, drawing ur imagination would be much easier , then slowly translate it to a script

Conceptualize your story. Do a rough outline of it, a 1ish page document with the entire plot. It doesn't need to be well written, its just to keep your ideas and pacing fixed and clear. Then you can do another document as a "bible" with characters, locations, etc, so you can develop more ideas and add depth to your worldbuilding. it will get easier once you have everything set in stone to get to write, you'il know when to insert certain aspects and how your approach to certain subjects must be

as a fellow writer in writers block (the problem with having writing be your college final) i think it’s best to write something else if you’re feeling stuck or bored, i come up with my best work while doing other assignments but that also is cuz i have bad adhd
