For the past few weeks I've begun to question my writing skills. A test on the Internet said I write at a seventh grade level, I've reread The Forgotten Times and found an unimaginable amount of errors, and I just don't feel like my writing is going to go anywhere. I realize I haven't posted many stories in KaW but thats mostly because im unsure if i should. I feel kinda s***ty about my writing skills
That's it I've read a few comments and though I realize it's constructive criticism I'm not changing. So I quit all my stories. Sianara!
There we go. Forgotten Times, The Damn Patriot (actual name), and Angry Nations all deleted off my computer. Those that have been handwritten will be demolished when the garbage truck picks up the trash outside tomorrow
Don't go too hard on yourself... At least keep some of them and take a break. I do that ALL THE TIME on my stories. And usually ideas come in time.
I've planned out 9 Books 7 screenplays and a graphic novel fully. I had ideas I just choose to kill them now. It's over
Your too stubborn conq, keep them & the best stories are mainly ones based on real life or a character you can relate to because it shows the connect between character & writter, as someone else said, take a break.
Conq, I've written two 250 page books, and although I know that that isn't 9 novels, if it makes you feel any better, I can tell you that people tell me that they hate my **** every day.
Knight all my characters are me. It was unintended symbolism for all the **** I've gone through Winters I realize I'm overreacting but I don't give a **** Let this thread die I found the answer for myself and don't need your guys' answers. I threw it all away and I'll try to find a better hobby if I can find anything at all
There not you though are they? I didn't get 1 subtle charactistic o you in a novel apart from your, too formal-ness. That's not you is it....
Oh come on. I did so much worse than you at writing when it comes to KAW. I've posted what, 4 stories in here and I barely reach 2 comments per chapter every other day.
Oh and no matter how much **** you've been through, there's someone that's been through more, remember that.
No this b**** you see on the Internet isn't me. You don't know me thus you cannot make a connection between me and my characters
That's the point, your reader isn't going to know you, you've got to put yourself across so you make them "think" they know you.
Look, you were practically begging for sympathy in the first post, so don't blame us for posting. Now goodnight. I can barely read what I'm typing I'm so tired.
