: Re: Not enough real world experience to write convincing situations? I'm faced with a writing dilemma where every real life situation I've tried to write feels forced/inaccurate. I'm a fairly young

I'll keep this short and simple. I'm just like you and had the same difficulty. My solution was this: I watch movies, YouTube videos, and read articles about the topic I need to write about. Sometimes, I imagine myself in a certain role/situation, then write.

For example, if I wanted to write about a guy hitting on a girl successfully, I'll do my research as stated above, then create my dialogue/scene.

Or maybe you have an office scene of someone being fired. Do the research, then write.

FYI: You're not going to have every experience in your book/literary work unless it's an autobiography. I'm certain every author does his/her research before he/she writes fiction to make it believable.
