I'm 22 year old and when I read myself, my writing style feels juvenile. By that, I mean that everything seems enveloped in a drape of purity, of carelessness and that whatever happens will end well. I tried many things so it doesn't happen: choose mature subjects (distopias, dilemmas), write horrible situations (violence), describe the environment a lot more than what I was doing (going from 2/3 lines to a whole paragraph), and I worked on my characters to make them feel more realistic. Yet, I still feel like I'm writing like a child. Is it because I'm reading myself? What could I do to fix that? If it is relevant for whatever reason, my native language is french and I'm writing in french.
