Tried to write a psychological novel. Didn't put time on research. Ended up shifting the focus to the romance plot rather than the inner struggles of the main character.
Decided to do a complete rewrite of the story. New title, new characters, new setting, new plot. Haven't started it yet, but found out what style of writing I prefer.
Decided to write light and cliché stories first for balance and to establish a foundation in writing.
Reserved good thriller, mystery, action, historical fiction and adventure plots for after light stories become successful.
*How it's going*
