The more I write and the more I talk to other writers, the more I realise I have some really big weaknesses in writing. I mean, my planning skills are non-existent, so that’s one major weakness. But there are some more as well that I should work on.
What are your weaknesses in writing?
Do they bother you?
Do you try to improve or just ignore them?
Not creative enough to think about something to write (nah I don’t write but rping?)
Yeah kinda
I ask for help/ideas
Narration
Yes I see lots of stories with good narration I feel like it’s important I’m just not good at it 
I try to improve but I’ve lost motivation lately so I haven’t been doing much 
Narration- particularly trying to “show” rather than “tell”.
It bothers me and I’m trying to improve, but most of the writing I do at the moment is more dialogue focused. I’d like to give Wattpad or something a try just so I can really work on my narration.
Stating focused.
Proof reading, planning.
Accepting that first drafts are not meant to be perfect.
It bothers me cause while I love writing, it makes me believe my story is bad cause I feel that my first draft has to be perfect
Just my vocabulary ig?
Yess alottt
Yes i read stuff 
Nothing. I am perfect in absolutely EVERY way.
Jokes aside, my main weakness is definitely grammar, unfortunately. I could definitely list way more, though. This is just the first one that came to mind.
They do. I use Grammarly to help. However, that can be difficult too. And I wish I could describe things better than how I do now.
I once wrote down the 16 rules of how commas work (I still definitely misuse them but, it did help actually learning them. And also, screw them for having 16 rules) However, I do try to spot my mistakes to fix them.
Additionally, my planning is relatively non-existent XD
Phrasing and grammar.
I can’t plan. I can’t write. I can’t make a enjoyable scene. I can’t describe, I can’t make you imagine things.
Emotion in dialogue, especially pain is hard for me to get across well. You’d think that from someone who has been in a lot of pain of different types, getting across pain in writing would be easy, but nope.
It does bother me if I’m writing a scene that involves being in a hospital, as that involves pain. Otherwise, not really.
I’m not sure how I can improve it. People have told me that sentence fragments would get it across better, but I don’t know, different people have different levels of pain tolerance, so 2 people at the same pain level might very well speak differently as a result.
Staying focused and finishing a story
I sometimes wonder if I use too much dialogue. Also, I have lines and lines of dialogue and nothing else. I read on another forum that a line of dialogue should have something else in it, too ie an action that the person is doing while speaking, so I’m trying to improve on that.
Another one is having too much unfinished work. I have a few books that I have started, then had another idea for a book, which I ran with. I am trying to work on what I have going, so far no new ideas have popped up, which is a good thing!
My biggest weakness in writing is not believing in my writing. I don’t think any of it is good enough. Good enough for what, I’m not sure. Perhaps just not good enough for the standard of writing that I set in my mind. I don’t know, but I am trying to overcome this one sooo much.
What about you writers (@Emma_episode_03, @Kitastrophe, @Bonswayout, @ivanskilling, @Hail_hailey), what is your biggest writing weakness?
Self-doubt (so much of it, way more than I probably should.) I always feel like my writing isn’t good enough and tend to compare myself to a lot of authors or other writers. This is hard for me to overcome, real hard. I’m still trying to work on it.
Finishing a story. I actually haven’t finished any of the stories I’ve written. I tend to go from 1 project to another, and I’m really trying to stop doing that.
