Hi all, I'm a new author, or at least I can say that since they published my first tale a couple of days ago. I read literotica since my university days - was it 2002? 2003? - but I never actually joined as a member until recently. Moreover, I never wrote anything until last year.
English is not my native language: I began studying it when I was 17 and I'm mostly self-taught. I use it in my job on a regular basis tough.
Well, after this brief introduction I'm getting to the point. In this past year I wrote a couple of stories, 5-6 complete ones and some WIP, and I noticed something with my English, something others seems to cope with better then me: Sinc eI try to write my stories from a personal point-of-view of one of the charachters (or alternating both of them) but in third-person, most of my sentences begins with "She", "He", "HisName","HerName", His","Her".
When I re-read my stories, sometimes it feels really awkward to see all these pronoums at the beinning of each paragraph.
Now the problems is that in my native language, the verbs are conjugated for each person and so it's possible to write entire sentences without the subject, because it's implied by the meaning. In english, that doesn't usually work like that :/
So... what to do? Of course there are adverbs that help, but even with them my sentences tends to become like
"Meanwhile, she did..."
just moving the subject a word after
Anyone faces this problem? Maybe someone whose native language is conjugated like mine?
Thanks
