Journey to finishing my novel

My first chapter

I'm still working on my first chapter. It is really hard because while I'm writing, it makes me feel that what I'm writing is very lame. I just keep downing myself when I shouldn't do so. It's really hard also to get the people's attention. I'm just lucky to have a very unique plot (as our class president says). I really don't know how to build a structure where every possible details will be connected to each other without misleading the readers. I would like to make it not quite straight to the point because if I'll do that, where's the thrill? I want to make the story really interesting even though that part of the story is not really a main or important part. I would like to make it like every bits of the chapters has something important in it and there's always thrill in it.

I have second thoughts on whether writing by myself or having someone to help me with it. I just personally think that the story might go a little crazy if there are two heads. I think it's better with one head. But it is still important for me to gather as much information that I can include in the story because this story isn't just like Harry Potter where I think everything is make believe (some parts are not though).

Some things are really clouding my mind like how in the second paragraph of this blog is me arguing with myself because to be honest, it is really hard to make a novel and I've started way too early. I don't even know that much about some of the very complicated grammar issues that I get when I try to make the online grammar checker fix my works. I have tried to ask my cousin who is also a writer and so far her works are really amazing. I also asked for an advice from my English teacher and their suggestions are definitely relevant to my problem. It can help my story but I don't know how to do their suggestions. I really don't.

So probably in the next blog I'm gonna have to talk about the second chapter because I'm actually a little bit close to finishing my first chapter. See you in my journey to my very first novel.

I'm new here!

I'm already warning you that this blog is crappy.

Hi! I'm Emerald Sparks. Emerald Sparks is kind of my stage name because I don't want anyone from home to know that I'm making a blog. I'm currently in high school and still struggling to do well in class. Yes, this blog is boring because I have no idea how to blog but it caught my interest and got me curious on what it is.

So in this blog, I'll be an open book to all of you to my journey on learning new things about writing and stuff that I'm very interested about. I'll be telling you each and every experience that I'll have from this day on.

I'll also share with you my improvement in writing especially now that I'm working on a story in Wattpad. I'll admit that it is hard but I'll try my best to learn more.

I guess my blog ends here for now. Have a good day!
