Answer 1

If you enjoy writing let nothing stop you in fact persue it even more don't worry you will excel

Answer 2

Your spelling and grammar can improve, and there are books in your local public library that can help you with this process.

Continue writing, even if it's just for fun. In the future, though, don't show your stories to people who will only put you down. Some of your friends might give you genuine constructive criticism.

Famous authors had to start somewhere. Keep going. Some day you might be one too.

Answer 3

Here's a tip, when your writing keep a dictionary or electronic dictionary near by. Also take the criticism in a good way. Take their comments and use them to make your writing even better. That's what I do with my poetry. When someone says "Oh that makes no sense" I read it over. If I see their point of view, then I might alter it, because in the end, if people don't like it or understand it, then your never going to get good comments. I'm not saying every bad comment you get use. But say you get a comment that the plot is a little empty, then you need to read it over and try and see their point of view. Hope I was a help. Good luck with your stories!

Answer 4

First, if you use spell check when you type your story, the spelling will (mostly) be corrected. Yes , people will always be unkind, but, you are young and out of your element on sites like this. And, since you are so sensitive, you're going to have to toughen up.

Think of little fishes playing in a guarded pool, and the day comes when they take a chance and swim right out unto the ocean, all kinds of dangers there, lots of sharks and things that can really hurt the fishie. The fishie learns survival, so she can grow up and be a big fish. If she doesn't, she cowers under a rock waiting to be eaten. You decide what you want to be, little fish. Try again when you can take reality of criticism and rudeness.

Answer 5

You should NOT have deleted your stories! The only stupid thing were the people that put you down and were mean to you. Those are not true friends. They are not helpful to you at all. Keep writing stories. Keep being creative! You may not be good now, since you just started, but to be good, you have to keep practicing and working hard. I think you will be a good writer!

Answer 6

Honey who cares about what people say about your stories. If you have an imagination to write, then do it. There are different types of story writing, so don't listen to people when they say that your stories suck. Actually, people who say that are most of the time envious and jealous. And about the spelling thing, your still young and that's something that you can learn in time. Keep on writting, and write stories in your own words and your own style. I'm a writter myself ;) Good luck!

Answer 7

Keep working on it, surround yourself with supportive people. You can find a writer's club through Books-a- Million or Barnes and Noble, and sometime your local library. People get on yahoo because they are bored and they will be cutting up, not trying to give you a good answer. Good luck with your writing. Write about what you know. My daughter is a writer who has been published and she studied history in college. I read a lot of sci-fi and the best writers studied science. Just pick something you like.

Answer 8

don't be let someone make you sad because you're doing something you enjoy. Consider the source when they put you down. They could be jealous or just plain mean. As far as spelling goes, use spell check. It's a good way to learn how to spell too.

Answer 9

Cheer up...even if you're bad at spelling, you can always improve! Keep writing, especially if you're having fun. I'm sure your story didn't suck, those people were just too critical. I wouldn't be getting all sad just because somebody didn't like it. Show it to somebody like your mom or your best friend who will like it because YOU wrote it, no matter how bad it is. And if people make fun of you on this site, just ignore them. As long as you're having fun, go for it.

Answer 10

Nope, work at and prove all those jerks wrong. If you listen to all that negative from people and just stop trying, you will not grow as a writer. Find someone who will keep an open mind and politely criticize your work pointing out good or bad. If you have a teacher in school that you respect ask them to read it. I can almost guarantee they will help you get better.

Answer 11

i used to have spelling problems myself. my parents bought me a huge dictionary and told me to look up whatever i was having trouble with. it was very very hard, at first. next thing you know, i was in spelling bee's. i suggest trying this method. its long and painstaking, but it makes your vocabulary so much better. as far as your story goes, its not the spelling, its the meaning. if you learn more words and read more books, guaranteed your writing will become much better. i wish you all the best luck! oh and always re-read what you write!!!
