trouble writting

hey guys, i'm jackie and i'm new to this website/forum.

i have been writting for ages but started writting after being inspired by my friend.

in my mind i no what i want to write.. but when i try to write it, it comes out wierdly and not how i wanted it to... its like i can't quite reach the words i want to reach and my poems turn out really bad.

could i please have some help from someone that may be able to help me sort out my confusion

I'm sure all writers face that problem or similar ones at one point or other. The best thing you can do is just continue writing. If you exercise your writing, over time it will become better. You will learn how to reach those words that you couldn't find before. Even if you are not happy with how a poem ended up, post it. Let other writers comment on it and see what they would change about it.

Also, researching famous writers like Shakespeare could help. Read some of his work, read some of someone elses work. That way, you'll get a view of what poetry really is.

i have the same problem sometimes, and there is really one good option. keep writing. the sayong practice makes perfect can be used here.

All of us will have some form of writers block from time to time, this is normal.

If you think of something write it down and if your not happy with what you have written just leave it aside for a time and go back and read it after a time. You will then be able to think more clearly and edit the parts you don't like.

thanks guys for ur help... it is appreciated greatly =)

Anytime soon Jackie will we see your works?

Yes, i have posted some of my work, i am really shy about my writing so i haven't posted much... but you can find my work if you search under

Remember your are among fellow poets and friends here who share the same love for poetry and writing.
