I am useing spell check, everything like that. My book is in first person (from a characters point of view) of a teenager girl though, so I put things in like "Yuck!" I try to put myself in the spot of my character.

You could use a spell check, because writing is the proper way to spell it. I'm sure this wasn't intentional, but it suggests you are absent minded.
Look at everything you do as if examining it. Don't be verbose if it isn't constructive, don't be terse to the point of monotony, and develop a perspective that is compelling to the reader. You should know basics of grammar, but shouldn't torture yourself with every detail, because an editor will take care of it. Don't be so unknowledgeable that your editor is forced to become a revisionist.

Your local Library is certainly the best place to start, for two reasons. The first is that, yes there are books to help you improve your grammar, punctation and sentence construction. But there are also books that help you write novels - ask the librarian for help.
Secondly the library is great because it is full of books and the best way to learn how to spell and write is by READING - yes sir that's the way. As you read you learn to spell by osmosis (and increase your vocabulary).
Congratulations on writing a book and keep at it.

Ahh, come on men, don't be so harsh on the undesirable lady. seem, in case you're fairly extreme approximately writing all you may desire to do to get extra suited is examine and pay interest in school extra! That way you will study the thank you to spell and the thank you to get a reader's interest. by utilising analyzing books you will build your vocabulary which will additionally grab a reader's interest. Ask your English instructor to tell you while to place finished stops in. Your writing is nearly a huge messy paragraph of words. Punctuation is what makes writing neat and hassle-free to examine--this is mandatory. i would not difficulty with enhancing this. in simple terms attempt and write something else and spend various time enhancing it till you think of this is the perfect this is. Then teach us returned and teach us incorrect--which you will easily write. Goodluck.

Practice all the time. By that I mean write random sentences that have nothing to do with anything, but make them good. Include imagery in everything. And if you have a specific story idea, write an outline. It will make things a lot easier for you. And yes, you probably should get those books from the library, too.

First of all, your command of English is at an elementary school level. You've misspelled very simple words and misused simple punctuation. You're not even close to being capable of producing a well-written sentence, much less a book.
I suggest you start READING more -- and I'm not talking about fashion magazines. Try reading classic literature. It's the best way to improve your writing.
Good luck!

That might be a good idea. Also, read some classics, like Jane Austen, to help improve your vocabulary. I suggest reading them with a dictionary nearby :). In my experience, plenty of practice and- and plenty of editing- works as well. I'm a writing a book too, actually. It's a challenge.

To improve English skills, check out the sites I have listed in Sources. Also, once you've gotten your grammar cleaned up, be sure to get it critiqued by peers. Good luck!

Spell check is wonderful...but....it's better to know how to spell yourself.....concentrate on the basics of grammar and sentence structure, all the techniques, for your education....
To improve your creativity, let go and write, editing everything later.

Writing is a process. First you write at least a draft of your book then you read it and revise, then you read and revise it again, then you ask your friends to read and revise it for you, or your professinal friends too then its finished.
