Hello. I've written poetry for a very long time, strictly for personal use. I suppose I enjoy the romance and the catharsis. Recently my writing has been more character based and it feels like I've got a story in me rather than a poem. I've been writing for fun but on second read I'm unsatisfied with how it all feels. The writing is more enjoyable than the reading, though the story remains the same. I'm here to get some help. I want to give the characters and story proper representation. After all it would be nice to end up with something I'd be proud to let people read. So what do you say, help a Juan? J. Augustine
Hello Juan, and welcome to WF. I also prefer character-driven stories, for some reason. I guess there's something about being thrown into the lives of strangers and getting to know them. Here's our New Member Quick Start to get you started. I hope we'll be able to help you! See you around. -Kat
