Am i a good writer?

Ok, i was thinking about becoming a proffesional writer for my career choice, but i wanted too know if people thought it would be a good idea?
 
Re: Am i a good writer?

Well you'd have to work on your spelling and punctuation, considering I could spot quite a few in that single post - but sure.

I believe that if you work hard enough, you're able to do anything you set your mind to.
 
Re: Am i a good writer?

Luke, I've read some of your poems, great. I don't think I've read stories or books or anything of yours. you'd be a great poet for sure. I don't quite know about the whole book thing
 
Re: Am i a good writer?

Yes you are a amazing writer and I would probally buy ure books, if it turns out you probally will become a succesful writer. I mean you are like my fav writer on this forum. So you got a fan here :)

My stories are on here as it happens :)
 
Re: Am i a good writer?

I think your someone who shows interest in writing and is looking to improve.

You have potential, I'll give you that much, but from what I've seen you rush. Slowly down. Look up writing practices. Get with your English teacher and explain you'd like to improve your writing. Look for local writing groups.

Things like that.

Here's a website I find useful:
http://www.writersdigest.com/WritingPrompts/

Just a website full of prompts. You choose one and write about it. It's a great way to stretch your creative muscles.

To start, I will admit that I have bad punctuation, and sometimes, I will start a sentence wrong.

i = I and only equals I if I is alone. The end of a sentence ALWAYS has a punctuation mark, whether it be . ? or !.

You also must type the words out...

I can't help you with this one, unless I rip on you a little, sorry..

but i wanted too know if people thought it would be a good idea?
Well, two things I have not covered in there. I will start off with the first I noticed.

I will rephrase:
but I wanted to know if people thought it would be a good idea.
or
Do you people think it is a good idea?
Last thing I can remember.

to = going to something (example,) I want to go to the diner, or I drove my car to Paris. :P (not seriously...)
too = (example,) Too much (that is how I think of it.)
two = 2
 
Re: Am i a good writer?

you guys really do need to lay off the whole "improper grammar" BS, it's because you're on a forum, and it's not like it matters that you have bad grammar on a forum, it's not important if you use proper punctuation, or spelling, and crap like that, because it's not important on a forum

But we're not talking about posting on a forum here - we're talking about being a professional writer. And without being able to write properly, you're not going far in that choice of career.

He's asking if he would make a good author.

As in writing stories professionally.

Read the thread before making stupid statements, please.
 
Re: Am i a good writer?

Tyloric, honestly, you need to lay off a little bit before you be a jerk to people, almost all the posts i see from you are pretty a-holish, and i know what this thread is about, I was talking to dragonmaster21 about his comment on improper grammar

So? It's not like dragonmaster has gone around cracking down on everyone's grammar outside of this thread. As far as I can tell, he has only done so in this thread and here it is a very valid point to make.
 
Re: Am i a good writer?

same response to that as the past ones... P.S are you a humanitarian hippie or something?

I might have done it once before...
Besides, I tried to be as nice as I could about it (this thread)...
 
Re: Am i a good writer?

oh i know he's not saying it everywhere, I just see that so much everywhere, and no, I'm not a hippie, I'm just an egotistic midget who likes him his freedoms, and dragonmaster, wtf, i mess up a single number, and you all of a sudden have uncontrollable laughter?
 
Re: Am i a good writer?

I am sorry, it was (still is kind of) funny... I did not mean to be inexcusably rude
to him. Just helping him get a future job.

As for you, well, that was a new experience, I did not expect that at all...

I should change my xbox avatar to some guy laughing...
