For my story lab this week I decided to poke around Writers Write. I have always been a strong visual person. If I don't see something done, I probably won't remember it. I would rather go deaf than blind. I love music, but mainly because I have synesthesia, which allows me to basically see certain colors as I listen to it making it a more visually appealing. I find poetry to be boring and I prefer to paint my feelings rather than write them. It's not that I don't enjoy writing, I just have always found it more stressful and personal to me. I don't like treating public forums as personal diaries and my social media always stays on the lighter side. I remember I attempted to keep a journal and I would try to write it when I was stressed or upset, but then I would read what I wrote back and just laugh at how overdramatic I was coming off. There's never a satisfying ending to a book and I never think my writing is good enough.
I was hoping to poke around Writers Write and find some helpful tips on writing and maybe become more confident in it. I was right I enjoyed reading about how to strengthen my antagonist in Use The 7 Deadly Sins To Strengthen Your Antagonist’s Motives. I always find it hard to create a good bad character, so these helped. I also learned how to strengthen my characters in general with 5 unusual ways to round out characters. Overall, I think this website will be helpful in strengthening my own story.
