Re: Stuff you don't like about your writing/art/other creative outlit

[(Anonymous)]

My sentences frequently try to become minivans. Also a lot of my stories, when I got to dialoggy bits tend to fall into a pattern of "blank said, verbing a thing." Sometimes a "while" will get up there. But it's like mixing narrative and dialogue is hard, yo.

"blank said, verbing a thing."

Also guilty of that, but I feel that as long as the things verbed have relevance to what is going on / aren't overused, it does keep the scene grounded.

My sentences frequently try to become minivans.

I love that phrasing - mine do too. I have a tendency to write like I speak, which means lots of linked clauses that really can't easily be broken into two or more sentences, because they're all dependent clauses and closely related enough to all be a single thought.

...see? :)

I love the minivans part!! My writing tends to dissolve into rambling, run on sentences if I'm not paying attention. Minivans and caravans - those are good words for it!

Just cut the said and switch to "Blank verbed a thing." I bet a lot of them will sound better.

this is good advice

I do that too.

And I can't stop inserting "however" into EVERYTHING.

We've always been told "show, don't tell" but lately, my "show" consists of "something" that the current POV character is seeing/hearing/smelling/feeling/tasting. "Something that resembled roses" or "something as hard as a rock" and such. DAMNIT SELF. QUIT IT.
