I have to say that I felt similarly after I started writing three years ago, I had absolutely no idea how to accent on emotions, conversations and scenes in general; and this might sound awkward but I really looked up to your writing back then (still do tbh e.e)- you always had a intriguing and capturing style & characters. Even though I’m terrible when it comes to judging writing and art in general (don’t follow my advice unless you’re being held at gunpoint, seriously), I think you’ve greatly improved over the years and continue to do so- I struggled with anxiety and it only recently got better- of course it’s probably completely different from your situation, but only once I started studying my own character and feelings, was the first time I think I actually understood myself and knew what made me tick- I find it easier to write about discomfort and struggles because that’s what I know best about, I think

(I have this big closet [that my parents practically took over but yeah] and the doors are just two gigantic mirrors; and one day I just sat myself down and talked to my reflection for a good two and a half hours about all the stupid and as you put it ‘dumb stuff’ [which i can confirm is an accurate term for it] and I almost ended up crying at the end)
