Pagsulat Tanong

What to do when lacking in confidence?...

I apologise if this has been asked!... I want to write a novel, about something that is important to me, something that is personal to me. I've had a few ideas for it. Problem is, I read A LOT of comments on Fanpop about 'terrible writing' and it keeps making me wonder about my Pagsulat ability, I'm not exactly confident that I can write well enough to make a real, whole novel. Does this happen to anyone else? Any tips/advice? Thank you so much =]

Pagsulat Sagot

To me this reads like two questions: "how do you write while having low confidence?" and "how do you write a novel?"

How do you write while having low confidence? Writers like to think that Pagsulat has to be a passion, but it really has to be a discipline, too. There's an old Pagsulat rule (from Hemingway, I believe) that says "The first million words you write will be crap." The goal, then, is to get those first million words out of you sooner than later. This means that you should set yourself a goal to write a certain amount each araw or each week. Me, I'd recommend trying to write a minimum of a thousand words a day, which is about five average length paragraphs. sa pamamagitan ng Hemingway's rule, before three years were out, you'd have all the crap Pagsulat out of your system, but I believe that you'd see a marked improvement within six months...maybe even one month!

How do you write a novel? There's a huge amount of information about this all over the web. There's even a lot just in this club's iugnay section. One method is to do an outline of the entire book from start to finish. This outline can be of many different things: it could be an outline of the plot of the novel, or it could be an outline of the protagonist's character development ("what's the journey that the character takes, and how does he/she change over the course of that journey?"). From that outline, you can then add madami detail, such as a series of chapter summaries ("in this chapter, this, this and this all have to happen"), and then go through and actually do the detailed first draft of each chapter.

That's just one method, though I think it's a better one if you have a strong idea of how you want the story to go from start to finish already.

I agree people on fanpop judge too much about the articles...thats why I never put my stories on here
but you should write it!! let someone like a best friend read it or put it on somewhere like quizilla or make your own blog or something
only let the people you trust read it-thats what I do

most of what i write never gets seen sa pamamagitan ng mga kaibigan or family until i've gone through it a million times on my own. just write for yourself! don't think about what others think about your work. what do they know? it's what you think and want your Pagsulat to end up as that matters. what you write shouldn't be for others. just write for YOU.
