Young Writers Society

Kinda bored after doing some more researching but thought what I'm learning is neat. Maybe I should back up a bit and explain. I started a very short story about the Revolutionary War, which a few on the site offered positive feedback and asked me to explain further about the characters. So thinking it over, I decided this could be really fun. I loved to learn about the War in school. Writing the second draft, third, fourth...I quickly realized I had a whole lot more learning to do, lol.

You see I was dead-set on making the writing as realistic as possible, which was difficult. The dialog is in American text. I want the reader to be thrust-ed into the past, so after reading and researching I'm finding the English/British language is really neat! For sure, its very interesting. There is definite similarities but differences also.

The other part of my research had led to me to re-read how the soldier's dressed, what food were offered, what supplies was each soldier supposed to have and how they lived during war.

And I thought this would be an easy piece of writing..not! LOL! It was not enough to focus on one particular battle but having to look at the bigger picture.

I still think it's neat I'm learning much more than I bargained for. Now I just need to edit, which hopefully be the final draft! Isn't education wonderful?

A piece like that would almost benefit from focusing one one battel- and for full dramatic effect, one of the battles that we lost.

Yes! That is the whole point of writing. Expand your boundaries.
