don't know how to write
I'm really crap at writing. I don't know how to do it the way they want. I can't plot out or devise a theme to follow or add all of this description. It's not how I write. And I doubt I ever will be.
Trying to revise this story is making me cry. I can't do it the way they want. Adding all of the stuff they want is ruining my story. I hate it. I've lost my style and voice and it's killing me. Nothing makes sense to me. I don't even know where I'm going wrong because no one has every taken any of my stories apart line by line. I just get a general summary of issues throughout the story. I don't know where these issues are. I don't know what to fix specifically. I don't know what works and what doesn't.
This is my third workshop and I've never gotten any real help from the other students or the professors. It's so frustrating.
I hate this assignment. Every instinct I have goes against what the teacher wants from my story. It's not helping that every story we read for class is literarly with layers of deep meaning. And in 1st person. Our story has to be in 3rd person for some ridiculous unknown reason. I don't mind writin gin 3rd person if I get to control the voice, but I can't do it with the restrictions.
My conclusion is that I'm a crappy writer. I can't write the correct way that produces good fiction.
