I'm hoping to become an excellent writer, but I have a problem...?

My teachers compliment on how my content is great, yet the one thing I lack is on the wording of my work. How can I fix this problem? Now I know what you're probably thinking right about now. I do read plenty so I do have an idea on what sounds right and how things ought to be said, but I'm unable to do it for myself when composing.





Thank you for your input!I'm hoping to become an excellent writer, but I have a problem...?
This is a really irritating thing to hear, but I'll say it with all kindness. The only way to become a better writer is to write and write and write.

You've had some great input here. One answer suggested learning a new word every day - that's a great idea. Someone else said to read other writers and think about HOW they told their story, not just the story - also great advice.

One of the most important things IMO is to share your work with others. It's hard, because they might not like it. You have to be tough enough to take that. Listen to what people say. You don't always have to DO what they say, but you should always listen. Ask them: are they getting the point when they read your stuff? If they are not, it's not their fault. Unfortunately it's yours because you are the writer. That part isn't fun, but it's important.

Keep writing! It's worth the trouble.
Actually, you obviously didn't know what I was probably thinking.



I was thinking, "Which kind of wording does this person have trouble with - prose, dialog, setting, characters, essays, reports, etc.?"



Once I found out where you have your wording problem, I'd suggest learning how to do it better by finding books and articles online to teach you. Had I known which kind, I could have recommended accordingly, but, what the hey? If you want to write better, you'll have to learn to research too, so go for it.I'm hoping to become an excellent writer, but I have a problem...?
I to would like to become a writer and i think that you shouldn't listen to what your teachers say because writing is about how you see things in your mind then writing it down you should just go for it write as much as you can and you will get better and one day i will be reading your story thinking wow!
It comes from a lot of practice. Read the works of other writers, and focus less on the content and focus more on how they word their sentences. When are sentences long, or short? How do they flow? The more you're conscious of it, the more you'll be able to recognize it in your own work.



Best of luck!I'm hoping to become an excellent writer, but I have a problem...?
Essentially it comes down to practice and reading. See how authors do it. When you get the green grammar squiggle underneath your writing on Word, see the explanation and see why (unless you don't have word... then ignore that). You can only get better when writing.
Practice.



If you're still young enough to have teachers, you're a beginner writer. Keep going - writing takes _years_ to get to a pro standard.
Work on your vocabulary. Try to learn a new word and use it everyday. Having a broader vocabulary will help you word sentences differently.
