I have continued on the with the story that I have submitted last week, and I have written another part to it, in which I hope I've maintained the degree of suspense which I started out, as well as hopefully to widen the mystery of the story. If I can keep that suspense up I will hopefully be able to successfully pursue this story.
I have also begun a second story, and have finished it's prologue, which starts really suddenly, and rather then being really suspenseful, it lands right in the middle of a battle scene, which also, in a way, helps to build up some suspense. Hopefully this will be followed by more and will build a compelling story.
Over the time I have been in creative writing club I believe I have been able to grow as a writer. The plot of my stories seem to be more solid than they would have been 6 months ago, and my style, I believe, has improved. I write with more purpose and a greater attention to detail than I used to. I've also taken to doing something else recently. I used to begin my stories typing, but now I hand write them out first so as to better form them. It seems odd, but handwriting them actually helps, and by first doing it out on paper I am forced to read the story over while transferring it to the computer, so I edit it while typing it. It seems to really help me and improves my stories.
