Help with writing

So before I came back to continue my story The Experienced and The Rookie (TEATR), I hadn't written anything at all. I wrote the other half of A Trail in the Woods and that was easy to write but I can't seem to write TEATR the way I want to. I want to be able to write it without a lot of dialogue, or only have dialogue when necessary, and have more descriptive passages. I know because it's supposed to be a story with a bit of action and those scenes need to be written descriptively and I can do that but I've noticed I'm saying how the character's are feeling instead of describing or showing during "normal" scences.

Do any of you guys experience the same thing? What has helped you? I want to be able to complete TEATR but I want to be proud of it and not just write it to post a new chapter. I'm going to try and sit back and reread previous chapters and try to improve my writing in them but any advice you guys can give me would be awesome. I know the first chapter was pretty descriptive,at least in the beginning of the chapter and I want to be able to write the rest of it the same way.

I've definitely experienced that. I had written a gtop story called Blood, Sweat, and and I was doing really good. Then all of a sudden I couldn't come up with any story. It was really easy writing one shots and stories about other couples. And sometimes I would write for BSS and then delete it because it didn't make any sense.

I found that using the good ol' paper and pen helps me get a lot more writing done rather than typing everything. For some reason i find more inspiration. I hope this helps. And you're not alone. It's definitely a writer thing XD

I experienced it too. Sometimes I realize in the middle of writing that my way of telling the story changed and I know I should do something about it or the reader will get confused of my writing style. I did many errors just to get the result I want. I rewrite, delete, rewrite and there are times that I just want to drop the work because I got out of ideas but then patience and hardwork did a big help. I continue writing the story without forcing it. I mean, just enjoy it and the ideas and scenes will come to you after a good break.
There's also a time when I notice that whatever I do I can't get the result I want so I just embrace what I wrote and let the story flows. I didn't expect that I will likehow I written it at the end after reading a whole chapter or the whole story.
