Alright, I have a large problem. I have many ideas for different fanfics, but every time I write one, I feel it's lacking in either emotion or detail. Can someone advise me as to what I'm doing wrong? I'll be posting one tommorw so please tell me what I can change. It seems rushed a bit as well. Maybe that's the problem. Anyway I appreciate any help I recieve.

The first thing that I have to say is, don't rush events in a story. Take your time on it, detail is always important in a story(at least for me)

Second, if you are having trouble, write a summary of the story-Major events you want to happen and when you want them to happen, and then write a more detailed 'outline' for each chapter of what events you want to happen in that chapter, things like that. It will make the writing process a lot easier.

Re-read every chapter, out loud is usually the best thing to do. That way you can see if you may have missed words, or if what sounded good in your head when you were writing it, sounds as good when read out loud. When writing think about your thoughts on it, not on pleasing the readers. Right what you like, it will end up adding more emotion to it.

Hope this helped! Good luck!!

Grammar nazi here can help with a lot of that if you want.

I can also let you know if you are doing as PRVN says. ^^

May take time though. I am doing my Dokugasona, and beta-ing a story of PRVN's. So, yea. But I will try to let you know. ^^
