I've got a few short story ideas I'm trying to work out.

But I haven't written anything creative since hit school English class, about 15 years ago. So progress is slow.

Because I'm still trying to understand how people write anything longer than a short story.

Ten pages felt as though I'd said everything I knew how to say in my admittedly shitty understanding of writing and literature.
There was more I wanted to say but I couldn't, so I think I need to read more first.

I'm trying to find examples of third person limited. For some unknown reason to me it is hard to write

Honestly? I'd like to get into writing. It seems fun. But I don't know where to start. I don't read much fiction.

>> No.31228

writing is for faggots

>> No.31229

>>31180
You don't have to read fiction, but the alternative is reading philosophy. Reading both is optimal, but the ultimate problem for people who try to write something meaningful is that they end up saying something about as deep as what Plato said in two sentences.

If you just wanna write something fun though all you have to do is understand the basic rules of good storytelling and go wild with your imagination.

I haven't even finished the Greeks yet. Hopefully I can start writing by the time I'm 30 or so.
