Potential
"I actually found myself on the edge of my seat anticipating what was next. This has great potential.
First, this is Power Thesaurus:
https://www.powerthesaurus.org/
I find it indispensable in my writing for description. It keeps me from using the same words over and allows a little more, shall we say, poetic license. Instead of saying "Night was falling" I can say, "The night wrapped her ebony shroud around the world."
Second, this is the Cliff Note's on the book THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE:
https://www.cliffsnotes.com/literature/r/the-red-badge-of-courage/book-summary
I urge you to read it. Henry Fleming wrote it from his own experiences in in the War Between the States (Civil War) as a Union Soldier. His use of metaphors and similies are the most astounding, vivid and unique in literature. I have learned a great deal about descriptive story telling and creative writing just from his book.
Third, this is website for FREE writing (creative and Grammar) at Universities such as Yale, Stanford, MIT. You don't get the college credit but you learn. Also Google FREE WRITING/CREATIVE WRITING courses. There is a world of help out there.
You HAVE talent and imagination, you just need to sharpen your grammar, punctuation, and overall writing skills.
Non Desistas Non Exieris. Never give up, never surrender!"
