I want to write but I can't.

Hi! I am Ariseu and I really want to write my own fanfic. But unfortunately, my english is mid (not even mid i think lol). I am aware of my writing (and yes, I'm more fluent in speaking english in my mind) and my english is definitely TERRIBLE. I don't know why but i exceed in my english class tho so I really don't know what's wrong.

 

Anyway, I really want to write stories and share my imagination to you people (especially my homies out there, erideul) but my ability just doesn't allow it. I can bear writing using my own language, but english? no. But I can communicate well in english, it's just when I write in english, It sounds awkward, stiff, anything not nice. I read a lot of english books but I just can't apply it to myself well. 

 

I do actually feel like the stories that I want to right are good too but what makes me not want to continue is idk how to execute it well. I want this to come out nice since it's a very nice plot and things but I just can't. I want to give justice to my ideas but I really don't know how...

 

English is not my 1st nor 2nd language. I just use it occasionally when needed that's maybe why my english in writing is not improving well as my speaking. 

 

I really feel bad right now because I can't share these amazing ideas that I have for you guys to enjoy. I have made a lot of idk what you call them. yk those like profile, synopsis, plots, etc. yes i have written a lot. And all of those came from my imagination which I believe that you guys would also like because everything about it might not be that new, but it could be something that I can still call unique.

 

Everything that I wrote were kyungsoo×oc (I'm a dandanie). I have written action, romance, romcom, mystery but none of them were written nicely as I wanted them to be...

 

Anyways, just stating my thoughts because I was in a middle of writing some random plots and stuff and i told myself "i should publish this" then the thoughts of disappointment and sadness went in because I can't write well in english. I'm sorry everyone, I don't have any contribution in this website :<...

i also have that inferiority complex regarding english-writing but then i always think at the end of the day, i'm mostly writing for the enjoyment of putting my ideas to words for later read (i do hate my writing, but i do feel a sense of self-accomplishment every time i finish a story. it's a great feeling!)

Heyy
I happened to come across this and wanted to say that you're not alone! English is actually my 3rd language. As a writer on this website myself (for over 4 years), i never thought for once that my writings (especially because of my english) are good enough lol but i still write for fun and for the sake of getting those plots and ideas out of my head. No matter how not-good-enough my english is, i still encourage myself to write and complete the fanfics i've started.
So it's okay if you decide to publish some of your works because i'm sure you'll improve over the months/years. Plus, nothing has to be perfect in the world of fanfics.
