20/f. I'm open to advice from anyone at this point, I'm kinda stuck.
A little background on me: I've always used writing as an outlet, whether it's to dream up my future husband, or play out a scene before it happens to see how it'll turn out (my writing's also had a habit of predicting events, if I use people I know as characters.) My other two major creative outlets are singing and drawing, all of which I'm equally good at...but all of which I'm equally stumped on.
I was reading some of my old writing, and I found it to be...overwhelming. One of my stories was written entirely out of my control (my characters took over), and it's just SO good. I can't figure out how to just let go like I did to write that story. Where my prose used to flow smoothly, it's now choppy and flat, and I can't stand it. I hate my own writing, and that bothers me to no end.
I intended to use this break from classes to get back in touch with my ability and remind myself why I love it so much, and I feel like I don't even know where to start.
Can anyone relate?
Does anyone have any useful advice?
Thanks...

It really depends on your feelings to your topic. Like for exampel i have a diary and the best thing i express is my feeling tword my crush. I love him so much I could write a 10 page essay on how much i love him. Im telling you it depends on your fellings tword your topic

Note: It helps if you write in comlete scilence like at night when your whole family is asleep.

I'm not talking about papers, honey, I'm talking about books. They're not so much topics as they are lives and loves, events and moments. I have never been a real part of my writing before. And, I'm not looking to just write - I wanna get this stuff published, it has to be good. You could write ten pages about your crush, but would it be marketable?
