Does anyone here write English stories? And do you also struggle with the detailings and the language of the stories you write? In my case I can never be satisfied with what I wrote.

Love Kundera! As far as the language, what always helps me is going back to Raymond Carver. Basic, I know, but he's a great example of how to compose a page that's both succinct and positively dripping with beauty. Never hurts to brush up on some of the beat poets, either.Yes exactly. Lately I have been reading Milan Kundera and Haruki Murakami and have been attempting to write stories, but in vain the plot doesn't stand and the language is not at all cohesive...almost as if the story would fall apart
So this thread has a number of aspiring writers, maybe we can help each other.I have so many ideas for stories that I want to write, but I never managed to successfully organise everything into a coherent story. I tend to struggle with being able to create a proper outline for the whole story rather than finer details.
there's a microstory (100 words) contest coming up for the iowa writer's workshop. i'd say that would be a good start for critique, considering that the main problem with a lot of burgeoning writers seems to be in lacking the energy to compose anything in long form.Well we can surely help each other out as fellow aspiring writers! What do you guys say?
100 words, that would be challenging as to how scaled back that would be. 100 words is micro for sure! But would be fun as hell!there's a microstory (100 words) contest coming up for the iowa writer's workshop. i'd say that would be a good start for critique, considering that the main problem with a lot of burgeoning writers seems to be in lacking the energy to compose anything in long form.
