MY first fanfic, need help!

Got writer's block? Want to improve your prose? Grammar and spelling gotcha down? Then get out your sock puppets and chuck your sanity to the wind! (sanity is the number one block to writing)

By writing your improving your own skills. Try to write every day and go back at your drafts and read them and see if you like them. Try looking at them from a reader P.O.V and decide if things you have written about make sense or not.
It's also a good idea to read a lot, of books (or in some cases Fics! ^^) and try analyzing other people?s styles. Look out how they write and think for a minute how you want to write. What sorts of emotions you want to trigger from the readers and the emotions your want to convey from your charries.

I know that when I write I think from my characters P.O.V what he or she is seeing and what they are feeling. I then go back and read it over and make sure that's how my charrie would respond or react, if it feels right to me. I correct it, and keep working on it until I feel it's complete.

With your fic idea I know how you feeling being stuck. That usually happens to me. All I can really tell you is start writing and see where it goes. If you don't like it you can always chuck it in the bin and start another draft, or you can build from a specific part that you like and go from there. Your writer?s block will eventually be gone. Just remember, try and stay true to the characters.

Is this helpful?
