Hey there, I'm an author/screenwriter and do youth outreach in media literacy on the side for a non-profit. I.e. when I have the time, I help kids and teens with creative writing craft. Writing is like sport. You need to get on a team (workshop), you need coaching (workshop teacher) and you need to practice everyday.

1 Are you attending a university? Take a creative writing class or a non-fiction writing and editing class (300 level/English dept.). You may have to take composition at the 100 level first. Take the very best teachers your school has to offer. If you aren't in school, then join a writing workshop. Seek masters and defer to their expertise.

2 Here is an example of a book used at the college level: Follow this book and do the exercises. Also pick up a copy of Strunk & White for reference. Many of the books laymen will recommend to you will be writing theory books. Don't worry about that yet: Writing theory gets in the way. Focus on technique over theory. Also, don't worry anything about the business of writing yet. You need craft. Pure craft. Strong craft! Everything else is bullshit until you have craft, so get your gameface on and take a university workshop class or join a separate writing workshop.

3 For a very basic level: Use this workbook to plan and write a novella over six months. And then workshop that novella in that writing workshop you're going to join.

4 Skilled writers are also skilled readers. If you are unable to analyze literature then you will be unable to craft it, so take your lit classes seriously and enjoy yourself. Film theory is also applicable. Read and watch widely across time, genre, gender, culture, et cetera. Read secondary sources/criticism after you finish a work until you begin to form your own analysis and opinions.

I totally understand. I need some structure as well.

I've bought so many creative writing books, and I've realized the best ones are the ones used in college classrooms.

This one is my favorite. You can do a writing exercise from it everyday, and you'll improve greatly. Unfortunately it's pricey at $67 (try to get a used version at half the cost).

What If? Writing Exercises for Fiction Writers (3rd Edition)

What's great is that each chapter builds your skills gradually, starting with exercises to write good intro sentences, then to character development, point of view, dialogue, interior landscape of characters, plot, element of style, revisions, learning from the greats, etc.

The authors have said this has been the best way to see improvements from their students, and it's been working for me. Unlike other writing exercise books, this one has a clear structure, and moreover, they really go in depth in explaining the exercise and it's goal -- the technique it's trying to develop.

What I find especially helpful is that the book includes student examples for most of the examples. I own many writing exercises books, and so often I need to a clue on how to execute the exercises or I'm lost. The book also comes with short stories to study, too.

I was so skeptical about the book, since it isn't cheap, but the reviews on Amazon won me over. Read those reviews -- so many people recommend the book.

Note, if you can't afford it, there is the original, much cheaper version. It's much smaller, and doesn't have as many student examples or extra content (like the short stories), but it's costs way less. I'm guessing this was the original book before they expanded into a college textbook. I also own it also and it's still good. It's nice to carry around with me if I don't want to take the much larger newer version.

My other recommendation is this book:[The Making of a Story: A Norton Guide to Creative Writing by Alice LaPlante](
https://www.amazon.com/Making-Story-Norton-Creative-Writing/dp/0393337081/)

LaPlante is great at explaining the little nuances, the details in what makes creative fiction work. She goes into more details, and has writing exercises at the end of each chapter, including a short story to read. So she gives more theory of how good writing works. She avoids flowery or abstract advice found in so many other books.

I found it an excellent companion to the "What If" book.

This book is also used in college courses, and it's thick! Lots of material. Fortunately, however, this version I linked is around $13. This is the same exact book as the college version for $52 (named "Method and Madness: The Making of a Story").

Lastly, this isn't a college writing book, but just a bunch of really helpful exercises on how to improve as a writer.

Writing Tools: 55 Essential Strategies for Every Writer by Roy Peter Clark

What I like is that he gives examples to his exercises, too, from books, newspaper articles, etc. I really love all of Roy Peter Clark's writing books.

Anyway, good luck. I was in a deep writing funk. Depressed I wasn't improving, and I decided to write everyday using exercises from those books, and it's helped me so much.

Edit: typos.

Your spelling and usage need a lot of improvement. One error is mildly distracting; a lot of them becomes a serious turn-off.

Read more (different kinds of things) and practice writing more. Do simple writing exercises, and get a few writing books. One of my favorites for practice and developing creative instinct is What If? by Painter and Bernays.

You do have some memorable metaphors and lines here; your poet is showing. Study and practice! Good luck!
