Giving Depth to Your Posts.
Introduction:
Hello! I'm Kiki, the teacher and guidance to giving length and description to your posts. If you are having any sort of difficulty with not making them long enough, it could cause a lot of problems for you: Like, not being able to make it into roleplays you wish to, not being able to improve in your skills, and even wanting to know why you can't do it sometimes! First, before you read at all the examinations and such below, I want you to think about certain things. Think and answer them in your head so you can find what you need to work on:
-Do you, while writing, get straight to the point without much description and action? (This can cause very short posts.)
-Are you having trouble on where to fit description, without overdoing it, along with the point?
-Are actions, if even the littlest, not coming across your characters? or too much and not enough depth to the point?
-Is creativity lacking?
-Do you not give enough personality to your character, being too worried about the point of the subject? (Dialogue, Thoughts.) Is there too much personality talking and not enough description?
These are big things you need to worry about when trying to write long posts. But, remember, we all suffer from these problems all the time, even I do: times when I just can't think of anything to put a character in the right situation to give him the personality, actions, and surroundings he or she needs. Here in my thread I will help you with many things following those, and you never know, may learn a few things form others as well! ^.^
Now, this introduction isn't going to be how to do what. To learn how to give your posts depth, you must visualize it and write it out yourself. Of course I will give you exercises on what to do with certain points, but you must write it out yourself to show yourself you are improving. It's not a 'read me' thing where you read it and suddenly better. Writing takes a lot of practice. It's taken me four years to get where I am, but it's so worth it! x3 So. If you keep on reading, and apply (Because how could I decline?) then you may be well on your way to giving your posts much more depth than you could ever imagine doing!
First of all, I need to know a few things about you. I mean, what you think you are lacking, what problems in your writing you would like to fix, and what sort of things work best for you. To do that, all you need to do is fill out this application and post it in this thread. And don't be afraid to ask any questions! Once this is done, you can go on to reviewing the sorts of exercises I have in store.
Application form:
Username:
Alias: (What do you want me to call you? ^^)
What sort of things do you lack in: (What problems do you have with your writing?)
What would you like to work on: (What sort of things do you want to improve on the most?)
How would this work best for you?: (How do you think you could do that? I would like to know this so I could work you on exercises best for you.)
Will this process improve you?: (Do you think this will really help you so you can strive to become a great writer?)
Other: (Anything else you would like to add?)
----------
With that over with, I will now explain the sort of exercises you may go through to work on yours posts. They may include such things as:
Exercises:
-If you get straight to the point and write small posts, I will, in character roleplaying format, give you a post that will make your character do just that, and you will have to give your character more, if small, actions and creative responses. Don't worry, I'll give ideas to work with.
-If you are having trouble on getting to the point with description, I will help you by giving samples for you to read, and show you where description should go where with the point, dialogue, thoughts and actions.
-If you write with your character all actions, or none at all, but are doing well with everything else, then I will give you a set of details to read over and show what you can do during character actions, personality and description wise.
-If you know a lot about actions, personality, and description, but lack the creativity you want to out stand in your character (Example would be history placed in the present) then I will have you write out a character biography, a storyline to introduce your character, and then give you things to work with on having your character think about things in a non-thinking format and show a little spaz outside of him/her.
-If you have down more actions, description, and a bit of creativity, but your character is a bit monotone, here I will have you use your character in various arguments, so you can express their emotions into personality with their thoughts and personality.
I hope these exercises will be to your use. Just fill out the application, post it here, and if there's anything else put it with it! I look forward to it all! ^.^
