well i just asked a question trying to get support from people. instead i got a critical journalist who had nothing but rude things to say and didnt even think for one moment that i may have checked out the publishing company. i also happen to be a very good writer and pass english the lowest grade i have had was a C. i also happen to be in Beta club and on an Advanced schedule and why would i do those to things if i couldnt even pass english. thank you to the people who supported me though it is very much appreciated i was glad that i got yalls support.

I have no idea what you're talking about. But I am reasonably sure you've not asked a question.

Well, writing is a TOUGH cold business. Prepare to be rejected over and over and over. Prepare to receive many "Dear Author, No Thanks!" letters. Prepare to receive criticism from people you don't know. Prepare to work hard for no recognition or pay. Prepare to have editors, agents, and others in the literary business dismiss, reject and ignore you, rather than support you. Sorry, that's the way it is. Writers are a dime a dozen, and for every 1 of you, there are 1000 more with bigger and better qualifications and experience. Your grade of "C" might be fine for grade school, but "C" is considered average. You're competing with A++ university students. If you aren't prepared to listen to criticism, and possibly learn from it, (or simply ignore it), rather than turning around and bashing the people whose opinion you didn't like, you won't be able to make it in the business. And you might end up being one of those people who quit, but blame "everyone" for not "supporting" you as your excuse for not sticking it out.
PS- I suggest you edit your above "question" for spelling and grammar mistakes. There are many, and any publisher worth his salt would reject you on poor spelling and grammar alone.
Good luck to you and best wishes for a successful future.

Trust me, not all of the people in advanced classes (at least at my school) are what I would consider smart. If you really are as good of an English student as you claim, you would have much better grammar techniques and not consider just passing Engilsh class as an accomplishment. Also, what's your question?

Is your question "Should I capitalize the letter *I* when speaking about myself.."? Then the answer is yes, yes you really should. Also, if you plan to be a writer you might want to look into punctuation - there is more to life than just periods! G o o d l u c k with your chosen field!

I don't know what you are talking about but some people can be just plain mean but if you want to be published you need to learn to accept criticism because it will happen a lot especially if you continue to spell like you do. :-)
