I am wanting to be an author and singer when I finish college and I'm 14. I already sing and write stories. How do I become a better lyrics writer when I only write and sing love songs?
Also, is there anyone who is an AWESOME story writer and will help me?

practise is the key.
do writing excersizes every day, where for ten or twenty minutes just write exactly what comes to your head. If for the first few minutes it's "this excersize is really dumb and i can't think of anything" than write that down.
There's no problem with love songs if that's what you're feeling in your heart. music and writing are about self expression and if that's whats coming out of it, then you're doing the right thing.
keep a notebook with you and write down everything you think, whether you think it's stupid or not. If there's someone in your class who has something notable about them, write it down, they won't read it. If they have a character trait, or a particular hair style, describe it. Do a five minute writing excersize on the first thing you see. talk about what it is, where it's been, what it looks, feels, smells like. The more you write, the more comfortable you'll be with it. keep diaries.
Remember to write for yourself and not fr other people. When someone reads something from you they want to see you, not an act you put on when you write.

Read every different kind of writing, from shakespeare to a 2nd-grader's. And try singing to musicals. They have songs on everything. Also, Peter, Paul and Mary sing simple songs about all from war to rain.
