Hi everyone, I'm currently in the process of writing my first book and to be honest i'm struggling! I've never written anything much before and to be brutally honest I can hardly be described as educated lol. I'm writing about urban life in uk cities and council estates, following a week in the life of one young man and how his desisions affect and determine his outcome and those of others around him. I would appreciate any advice I can get on the whole writing aspect and I'm willing to share what i have written so far for it to be scrutinised and hopefully improved with a little (or alot) of help. the actual subject matter and events in the story arent an issue as its all very close to the life i know growing up in some of the worst areas of nottingham, but i find my grammar sucks at the best of time and i'm not sure about things like back story how detailed i need to be with characters and hows to describe surroundings etc as i'm not a very poetic person these things can be difficult. Please help me in anyway you can i would really appreciate it. Yours hopefully th1dood xx
. I don't have much advice to give but the one thing I will say is don't worry too much about your grammar to begin with - if you've got a good story then concentrate on getting that down and making it the best it can be, and go back and sort out any grammatical problems later.
