how can I be a good writer?

Question

How can I build up good, dark adjectives and smart ways in discribing things? Should I just write adjectives and good describtions on a piece of paper?

Answer 1

It isn't about the adjectives, it is about the Story writing itself. I am writing a 7-part novel myself and I let the characters take control of the direction of the storyline, when they are ready to talk to me, then I write. Otherwise, everything that you put to paper will sound contrived and as if you are looking up every other word from a Thesaurus. Do not force it- envision it. Be there in the story, standing right where your character is standing and let your characters speak through you as they use their voice inside your head.

It is a known Visualization technique, and it works for me. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Good luck!

Answer 2

First.. spell 'discribe' correctly.. as describe.. then write about what you know, the adjectives and descriptions will come as you tell the story.

Answer 3

I have heard many writers give the same piece of advice to aspiring writers....read a lot !!! The more you read, the more you become acquainted with different writing styles, different ways of being descriptive, different ways of building a story, etc.

Answer 4

Look up synonym to words. Use precise words but don't use word that people need to look up in a dictionary. That give an impression of a "fake" (that you did look in a dictionary).
