| Question | — |
Does each writer have a unique writing style? I admire the writing style of many other writers and I try to emulate them, but most of the time it doesn't turn out how I want it to.

Why is it that when I get to the end of writing my book, I get discombobulated and want to give up? I've noticed this about most of the books I write, except for my short stories/novellas.

How can I add depth to my story or how do I determine if my story already has depth? I am new to writing. I wrote a lot when I was a kid and teen. I wrote my first book at 6 and then again in high school. I was also in journalism. After high school, life happened. I took an almost 20 year break, so I consider myself "new". I'm currently writing a YA Paranormal, but I'm unsure if it's... (more) |
