I Believe in Myself
Dreams of becoming a novelist.6 total reviews
Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Credit for enthusiasm, but you say so yourself, numerous times, that you keep repeating yourself. That's not going to fly in the publishing arena. Sugg: edit; be ruthless. The piece will be better for it.

Comment from MAMONIA
I do believe that you have a strong will. But, for your own good, you must tighten this essay so it doesn't sound repetitive. You are writing like someone would speak with run-on sentences.
I believe you can learn a lot from online classes. But, I also believe that we have to be more critical of our work.
Have to read this over a few times? I think not.
You can be a great writer if that is what you wish, but with a little more clarity.
Best of luck.

Dear Mystery Writer,
I appreciate your enthusiasm! I think it's an awesome, important thing to believe in yourself when it comes to writing - because we often find - unfortunately, that our family and friends just. don't. get. it.
We must find a way to keep ourselves encouraged and inspired. Otherwise, it's far too easy to give up and just QUIT. And that is no good. No, no, no.
*smile* I like your attitude. That's a great way to get things done and keep moving forward. AND keep learning. Thumbs up to you!!
Now, I did see a few places that needed some editing - and you said to offer notes - so I'm making some suggestions below for you. Please use the notes you like and then feel free to toss the rest. (Or just toss them all!) hahaha
1.) on my writing, and you (probably) have heard this many times.
2.) But, I don't give up. I keep on/going.
--> on (space) going - two words
3.) if it is any good or help me what mistakes I have made in my writing.
--> (suggest:) if it is any good or help (correct the) mistakes I have made in my writing.
4.) I love writing fantasy and horror stories, I will be making novels in the future.
--> I love writing fantasy and horror stories, (and) I (plan to be creating/ [or] writing) novels in the future.
5.) if you want to help. You are more than (welcome) to do so.
6.) I know that some things here are (repetitive),
7.) We all writers deserve to be read. I hope that a few of my stories wil come to form. Write.
--> All writers deserve to be read. I hope my stories will please readers. Let's write!
Sorry for the lowered rating. Please let me know if you edit and I'm pop back over and take another look! Good luck!

Comment from SHABAMO
I am very glad you believe in yourself, and by being on this sight and writing you are making progress every day!
I am not confidant I will ever be a professional novelist, but I am confidant I will write a book I am personally happy with before I die. I have recently dipped my foot into horror short stories for the first time and am excited fanstory helps me explore that part of my writing.
Best of luck to you!
