Ive been writting a novella for about 3 months now and ive gone without writting a single poem, how ever the story is very descriptive and uses the same aspects as I do in writting, I cant write a poem that seems to be me, I got two good stanzas that didnt really feel like what I would write, it wasnt forced because i wrote it really fast but not ive rewritten 3 entirely different stanzas for the third stanza i need some help to get me back into writting freely and getting back into my swing, because i know i could write poetry and write but when I do one for to long, :/ |

If you've been writing a novella, think about how you write that. Do you start with an idea and not know how it ends? Or do you have the whole start/end in mind, and then fill in the details as you go along? I say this as I write poetry and stories, and in neither case do I put pen to paper (or rather fingers to keyboard) until I know exactly what direction I want the piece to take. It's better to develop it either as notes, or in my head. |
