How to be a good writer?
First off I'm 14 and a chick and sorry if this is in the wrong category.
I love writing stories with my favourite character Alexei, sometimes creepy or scary, always involving deaths.
My dad is an English/Creative writing teacher and he proofreads them and also I take a creative writing class.
I want to be a better writer, and use better word choices and make the stories creepier or sadder, any suggestions? Thank you!

Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
I've been reading Story: Substance, Structure, Style and The Principles of Screenwriting by Robert mckee [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) Highly recommend it though its targeted for screen writing its just great for story telling in general. Alot of great and well thought out information on how to really bring your story to life and keep your readers interest

You have to go into deeper thought. Use more words to describe it. Make the reader feel like theyre there or they can feel what the charector was feeling. Like instead of saying the flowers were yellow. you say: The beautiful rows of golden colored, misted flowers that flowed in the warm summer breeze. Lmao, something along those lines. You could use a Synonym finder to find better choice of words. The more you can feel the writing the better. If you know what im saying. :p
