Help me

[Mighty]

Um hello can you help me enchance this paragraph or give me some advice how to make it more detail and have emotion in it, I will also take writing tips and can you also say how much wrong grammar I have thanks.

~~~

When I woke up I found myself in a room, the room looked so clean, there isn't a single dust can be found, and the item in the wall is perfectly arranged.

But I ignored all of it and a head toward the bathroom to clean my face but what I see surprised me.

"WHAT THE HELL, WHY DOES MY BODY BECAME LITTLE!!!"

how did this happened, and where am I this is not my house, how can I be so relaxed right now?

I put my hand to my chin and thought for a second.

How did this happened and how the hell did I not react to my surroundings earlier when I wake up?

At that time, I heard the door open, what comes to my view is a blond girl wearing a brown dress and his pair of brown eyes is looking right at me.

"Brother what is it, did something happened?"

Brother did she just called me 'BROTHER'
"No, Nothing happened, everything is alright Sofia,"
My mouth is moving by itself, why do I know this girls name even though this is the first time I meet her?

The girl then signed and looked at me.
"Is that so, I suddenly heard you scream I thought something happened, so I ran over to checked, well you seem to be just fine, brother, I just finished making breakfast eat it before it goes cold. she finished talking, she leaves

Little tip, fix your grammar. It's not so bad that I can't understand it, but damn is it annoying. Use Grammarly if you want to :D

 

[EternalSunset0]

Punctuation goes a long way. Learn when to use your commas and such, and it can make the reading experience a lot better.

 

[Anon_Y_Mousse]

Honestly, different authors all have different ways to write their paragraphs and portray emotions, more detail doesn't necessarily mean more improvement.

But anyways, i'll at least touch up your grammar and tell you how to avoid similar mistakes. Hint: You can use grammarly and such but its always better to read more hardcover books to learn English yourself.

When I woke up I found myself in a room, the room looked so clean, there isn't a single dust can be found, and the item in the wall is perfectly arranged.

"I wake up and find myself in a room. the room looks so clean, there isn't a single speck of dust that can be found, and the item in the wall is perfectly arranged?"

You have a problem in choosing your tenses, from the dialogue and thoughts I will assume you want present tense. Dust alone reads awkward for me so i feel like you should add something like "speck" or "particle". What item in the wall? Is it literally inside the wall or is it just on it?

But I ignored all of it and a head toward the bathroom to clean my face but what I see surprised me.

But I ignored all of it and head toward the bathroom to clean my face, but what I see surprises me.

I suggest you look up how to use commas, I'm no English teacher so I can't really explain this.

"WHAT THE HELL, WHY DOES MY BODY BECAME LITTLE!!!"

Alright, there are many ways to correct this, but I'll try to keep it close to the original since its dialogue.
"WHAT THE HELL, WHY DID MY BODY BECOME LITTLE?!"
Add a question mark in there since it sounds like a question.

how did this happened, and where am I this is not my house, how can I be so relaxed right now?

I put my hand to my chin and think for a second.

How did this happen? Where am I? This is not my house. How could I be so relaxed right now? Punctuation and stuff
The second part actually doesn't need correction, just that you may want a different choice of words such as "I hold my chin'

How did this happened and how the hell did I not react to my surroundings earlier when I wake up?

Just remove this part or add it to the the previous portion. It's just repeating what was stated earlier.


At this point I gave up XD. Your grammar and prose is pretty bad, but not the worst. At least your dialogue isn't floating around. I assume english isn't your first language, so as an exercise, why not try writing in your mother tongue and translating it into english?

When I woke up I found myself in a room. The room looked so clean, there wasn't a single speck of dust to be found, and the items on the wall were perfectly arranged. You have too many commas, this is a run-on sentence.

But I ignored all of it and a headed toward the bathroom to clean my face. but what I saw surprised me. You should probably get rid of the second 'but', even though it's technically fine just to capitalize it.

"WHAT THE HELL, WHY DID MY BODY BECOME SMALL!!!" Little can work, I guess, but it feels wrong to me?

How did this happened, and where am I? This is not my house(. or !) how can I be so relaxed right now? You should probably italicize this, to make it clear that this is the character's personal thoughts.

I put my hand to my chin and thought for a second.

How did this happened and how the hell did I not react to my surroundings earlier when I woke up? Italics again.

At that time, I heard the door open. What cames into view was a blond girl wearing a brown dress and her pair of brown eyes were looking right at me. Although this second sentence technically works, it's clunky, and I'd advice another period between describing the girl and describing her actions.

"Brother, what is it? Did something happened?" Although it's not necessary in this particular instance, having an indication that the girl is talking would help here.

Brother? Did she just called me 'BROTHER'? Italics for personal thoughts.
"No, nothing happened. Everything is alright, Sofia."
My mouth is moving moved by itself. Why do How did I know this girl's name even though this was the first time I meet her? This sentence is clunky, but fixing it would require a complete rewrite, I think. It's 'technically' correct as is. Also, Italics for personal thoughts. Lastly, these three lines either shouldn't be broken as much as they are, or they should be double spaced. Right now it's a weird in-between where you can't tell if they're the same paragraph or not.

Then the girl then sighed and looked at me. Technically, she was looking at him the whole time. But Okay.
"Is that so. I suddenly heard you scream. I thought something happened, so I ran over to checked. Well, you seem to be just fine, brother. I just finished making breakfast, so eat it before it goes cold." She finished talking and left. leaves
Well, people don't always speak with perfect grammar, but maybe try reading it out loud to see when she paused for breath. Otherwise, you end up with her talking in a huge rush. That would make sense if she was worried, but not when she was relieved from finding out he's okay.

I've made several corrections and bits of advice in dark red. You should probably pay a lot more attention to punctuation and grammar.

Aside from that, a few things.
Is the main character male or female, and did that change when they became 'little'? (You should also describe the character as soon as they become aware of their appearance.)

What tense and pov do you want to write in? It mostly seems to be first person, but it randomly alternates between present and past tense. I've 'corrected' it to past tense, but you'll need to be more careful in the future.

This introduction relies heavily on some very common clichés, so it'll turn off a few readers. Waking up, looking in the mirror. You might want to swap it for an introduction to the character before they ended up in this body.

Edit: I got 'd, but the other person also gave some decent advice. In fact, looking at the differences between our suggestions may help you understand what you did wrong.

Hol up how the hell did you do that strikethrough thing? Would've been so useful.

Let's Get Down To Business!

When I woke up I found myself in a room, the room looked so clean, there isn't a single dust can be found, and the item in the wall is perfectly arranged.

Alright, This is a wretch. The first segment looks clean enough, but then you run on with commas. So First I'm going to do Grammar Corrections then I'll go FULL AMATEUR EDITOR and try to spruce it up a bit.

When I woke up I found myself in a room. The room looked so clean: There wasn't a single speck of dust to be found, and the items in the wall were perfectly arranged.

So I changed up the punctuation, and some of the wording; I don't know if dust is a countable noun, and it doesn't make much sense for you to arrange just ONE item. I also kicked everything into past tense (Tip: Keep tense throughout. You can change between simple and perfect in a paragraph (I do this and I have done that), but don't do between do and did, unless you're writing dialogue.)

I'm going to try to spruce this up a bit.

I woke up to a bright white room, clear of any trace of dust. I hadn't focused my eyes enough to make out what everything in here was, but the arrangement felt truly melodious.

Hit with the action immediately. While passive voice is grammatically correct, active voice puts your reader right in the action, for all those lovely feels to kick in.



But I ignored all of it and a head toward the bathroom to clean my face but what I see surprised me.

But can mbe used in descriptive grammar to begin a sentence, but not prescriptive. (English is Germanic not Latin, shove it English Teacher!) The way you have it now, you'd want to combine it with the previous sentence. Again you futz your tense, and this time in a way that isn't even technically correct.

I ignored all of it and headed toward the bathroom to clean my face, but what I saw surprised me.

There. Now it at least makes sense. But we can go even further beyond.

But that could wait: My body felt wrong, and I had to know why. I spotted a bathroom on the far side of the adjacent wall and made a beeline for it. I stared down the mirror-

I read ahead a little bit, and felt the cutoff was appropriate. I also injected a reason for your character to go to the restroom ASAP at the expense of everything else. And no, not going to the restroom either; that wouldn't follow. They'd just take the shit instead.



"WHAT THE HELL, WHY DOES MY BODY BECAME LITTLE!!!"

This Does Became? No, does/did verb takes the infinitive.

"WHAT THE HELL, WHY DID MY BODY BECOME LITTLE!!!"

This is actually pretty cool on it's own, and so I made it blue :) Cause blue is cool, and I have blue keycaps on my board.

"WHAT THE HELL, WHY IS MY BODY LITTLE!!!"

This is what I would use though. Feels a bit more natural for speech. That said you know your character better than I do.



how did this happened, and where am I this is not my house, how can I be so relaxed right now?

Oh Fuck What Is This. Okay, no caps, did happened, and switching tenses OMG. Please no.

How did this happen, and where was I? This was not my house; how could I be so relaxed right now?

This fixes you from a grammar perspective. But I think we can jazz this up a notch.

Okay. I took a breath, for it was time to think: How did this happen? And where am I, cause this isn't my house. And why am I so relaxed about this?

Italics to mark train of thought. Some people don't like inner monologues; I do. If you don't, you can probably mix up something else neat. Thought streams are like dialogue and have spoken tense rules and not written tense rules. You can also throw in slang if you wanted. TECHNICALLY the where am I cause this isn't my house is wrong cause it needs a question mark, but I'm using the period to imply the tone in the monologue shifts down like an accusation instead of up like a question.



I put my hand to my chin and thought for a second.

This is grammatically sound, congratulations! I'm actually going to chain it to the next sentence though for the spruce-up.

How did this happened and how the hell did I not react to my surroundings earlier when I wake up?

Okay, did happened again. Also "when I wake up" describes a future event, not a past one.

How did this happen and how the hell did I not react to my surroundings earlier when I woke up?

Pretty simple affair. Now for the ONE TWO COMBO PATCH!!

I put my hand to my chin and thought for a second: how did this happen and how the hell didn't I react earlier when I woke up?

Italics optional on the right side of the colon. I use italics for when you think to yourself in words and you're talking to yourself, in your head. If the grammar permits it otherwise and I don't need/want to express monologue, I won't.



At that time, I heard the door open, what comes to my view is a blond girl wearing a brown dress and his pair of brown eyes is looking right at me.

Okay, does this girl use he/him pronouns? And if so, is your primary audience the U.S. Trans Community? If she doesn't, the "his" is wrong, and if your audience isn't, you're gonna have fun explaining that to them. I'm going to assume that you did not intend a he/him girl; if you did, you can revert it.

At that time, I heard the door open; what came to my view was a blond girl wearing a brown dress, with her pair of brown eyes looking right at me.

There were a few ways you could fix this. Like, you could use period instead of semicolon, and the second comma could have been a sentence split, but I wanted to stay as close to your original format as I could. Now let's change a few things up:

The door opening pierced my thinking, and I faced the bathroom door to find a blonde girl in a brown dress, her matching eyes gazing into me.

Punching back to active voice, and taking advantage of your first-person perspective. blond/blonde is interchangeable but I like the sight of the e. I used a stronger form of looking to convey that she has your character's full attention. Also gave some action to give some more hint as to where in the room/setting this is taking place in. Now I'm not sure if "the door opening" is wrong in itself, but it sounds right. If you're worried use "the door's opening" or "the opening of the door" or some such.



"Brother what is it, did something happened?"

Only one error here :) (The Brother what is it with no comma suggests rushed speaking, if you don't want it use the comma)

"Brother what is it, did something happen?"

And this is good on its own. I wouldn't change anything. Good Job.



I'll handle these sets of lines as sets :)


Brother did she just called me 'BROTHER'
"No, Nothing happened, everything is alright Sofia,"
My mouth is moving by itself, why do I know this girls name even though this is the first time I meet her?

Did called, and some caps, though not much technically wrong.

"Brother"? did she just call me "Brother"?
"No, nothing happened; everything is alright Sofia."
My mouth is moving by itself. Why do I know this girl's name even though this is the first time I meet her?

The below line here is actually technically correct with the changes in orange, but doesn't really flow well. Now let's roll it in:

Brother? did she just call me Brother? "No, nothing happened. Everything is alright Sofia." My mouth acted by itself. I literally just met this girl, why do I know her name?

I'm using the boldface for the emphasis; if you want to use italics instead go for it. I also ditched the quotes because while it may not be prescriptively correct I don't think anyone will flame you for it. Also grouped it into one line because it's one person's thoughts and dialogue. Oh and monologue. It also declutters the quote marks.



The girl then signed and looked at me.
"Is that so, I suddenly heard you scream I thought something happened, so I ran over to checked, well you seem to be just fine, brother, I just finished making breakfast eat it before it goes cold. she finished talking, she leaves

Ran over to checked is wrong, and a run on here. Also not closing your quote. I'm also assuming she's sighing and not using sign language.

The girl then sighed and looked at me.
"Is that so? I suddenly heard you scream. I thought something happened, so I ran over to check. Well you seem to be just fine, Brother; I just finished making breakfast: eat it before it goes cold." she finished talking. She left.

Again, technically serviceable, but we can do a bit better, don't ya think?

The girl sighed. "Is that so? I suddenly heard you scream; I thought something happened, so I ran over to check. Well, you seem to be fine, Brother. I just finished making breakfast: eat it before it goes cold." With not a moment to spare, she turned and left.

I got rid of "looked at me" since she never actually stopped looking. I also shifted some of the punctuation a bit, and I got rid of "finished talking" because that's already communicated by turning and leaving.



Alright, all of these segments should be a bit more lively, let's put them together:

I woke up to a bright white room, clear of any trace of dust. I hadn't focused my eyes enough to make out what everything in here was, but the arrangement felt truly melodious.

But that could wait: My body felt wrong, and I had to know why. I spotted a bathroom on the far side of the adjacent wall and made a beeline for it. I stared down the mirror-

"WHAT THE HELL, WHY IS MY BODY LITTLE!!!"

Okay. I took a breath, for it was time to think: How did this happen? And where am I, cause this isn't my house. And why am I so relaxed about this?

I put my hand to my chin and thought for a second: how did this happen and how the hell didn't I react earlier when I woke up?

The door opening pierced my thinking, and I faced the bathroom door to find a blonde girl in a brown dress, her matching eyes gazing into me.

"Brother what is it, did something happen?"

Brother? did she just call me Brother? "No, nothing happened. Everything is alright Sofia." My mouth acted by itself. I literally just met this girl, why do I know her name?

The girl sighed. "Is that so? I suddenly heard you scream; I thought something happened, so I ran over to check. Well, you seem to be fine, Brother. I just finished making breakfast: eat it before it goes cold." With not a moment to spare, she turned and left.

This feels kinda nice, and like something I might read :) I actually like your premise, and I hope showing how I went about things helped a little bit. You may use this segment as written for your story if you wish, or you can change it around. Up to you.

Sorry for the lateness of the response, and best of luck on your quest.

There is so much wrong with this paragraph that it wont be fixed until your grasp of the english language reaches a whole new level. Even if I correct you here, this kind of thing will persist through the entire story unless you have at least a highschool level english education . I suggest reading some english novels to study how they write sentences.

Cuz brother, this is understandable but its like reading Google TL.

My twist on it. After fixing the few major grammar hiccup.

Spoiler

I wake up in a room that is so clean, there isn’t a single speck of dust to be found, and the items in the wall is perfectly arranged.

But I ignore all of it and a head toward the bathroom to clean my face.
….but I see something surprising.

"WHAT THE HELL, WHY HAS MY BODY BECAME LITTLE!!?!?"

How did this happened, and where am I? Wait, this is not my house, how am I so relaxed right now?

I put my hand to my chin to aid my thinking.

How did this happened and how the hell did I not react to my surroundings earlier when I wake up?

I heard the door open, distracting me from my thoughts. I look over and what comes to my view is a blond girl wearing a brown dress. Their pair of brown eyes are looking right at me.

"Brother what is it, did something happened?"

Brother did she just called me 'BROTHER'
"No, Nothing happened, everything is alright Sofia,"
My mouth is moving by itself, why do I know this girls name even though this is the first time I meet her?

"Is that so, I suddenly heard you scream I thought something happened, so I ran over to checked, well you seem to be just fine, brother, I just finished making breakfast eat it before it goes cold.“ The moment she finished talking, she left.

Sorry, I would personally skip the whole part and start with him on the dining table or in class or whatever conflict follows, questioning himself and his life choices and how he can take advantage of this situation.

Little tip, fix your grammar. It's not so bad that I can't understand it, but damn is it annoying. Use Grammarly if you want to :D

It's better than raws at least.

 

[Jemini]

If you click the 'More Options' Triple : next to Bold, Italics, and Font Size, it offers a bunch of other options for font. Strikethrough is the S shape.

You can also just turn on the BB code and use the [brackets]. The BB code for strikethrough an s and /s.

Um hello can you help me enchance this paragraph or give me some advice how to make it more detail and have emotion in it, I will also take writing tips and can you also say how much wrong grammar I have thanks.

As some other people have said, each author has their own style. I do have a few tips based on what I saw here though.

When you are describing small details like in the opening of your description of the room, it helps a lot if you write shorter sentences and get rid of all the comma splices.

So, to re-write this sentence.

When I woke up I found myself in a room, the room looked so clean, there isn't a single dust can be found, and the item in the wall is perfectly arranged.

But I ignored all of it and a head toward the bathroom to clean my face but what I see surprised me.

I woke up in a room. The room was clean. All the items on the shelves and pictures on the walls were neatly arranged, and there was not a single speck of dust to be found.

This should have caught my attention. I couldn't keep my room clean to save my life, and it definitely wasn't like this when I went to sleep. But, somehow my mind missed these details and I simply walked out of the room and toward the bathroom. The bathroom was located in a different spot from where I remember, but somehow my feet knew the way on their own.

----------------

There are several techniques being employed here to up the emotion. For one, it gives details about the character. This makes them more relatable. The 2 details about the character are 1. That they are somehow unobservant in this situation. I spent a few extra words than you did driving that point in. 2. A detail I added (which you can change to fit your own vision of the character) is that they are naturally a messy person.

Another thing that's happening here is I'm introducing more of a sense of strangeness in describing how the body seems to know where it's going despite the situation being unfamiliar.

So, the important points are giving the audience something to help them identify with the character, and giving some details to drive in the sense of strangeness.

The idea is you want to give the audience just enough to have them draw their own conclusion before the protagonist notices. The act of their brain working and making the connection before the character does will immerse them in the story a little more. At the same time though, you do not want to linger too much or else you will annoy your audience. You want to delay just long enough to give them that moment they need to make the connection.

The 2 paragraphs I wrote there are just about the perfect amount of information, right in the middle between the two demands for speed and depth of information.
