It was interesting to read how you learnt writing, and the accessory subjects that were broached. Thanks for sharing all this in the forum of this contest, and good luck with the voters. Kate xx

On line and correspondence courses are both a great way to learn something new. Good for you for doing so.

A few observations:

Para 1, 6th sentence (consist of) should be (consists of)
Para 1, 8th sentence: (sseriously) should be (seriously)
Para 1, 9th sentence: (three act) should be (three-act) Hyphen
Para 2, 2nd sentence (Novels) should be (novels) capitalization
Para 3, 1st sentence: CONSIDER removing (why)
Para 4, 3rd sentence: Remove comma after (But)
Para 5, 6th sentence: (productive.) should be (productive?) Punctuation
Para 6, 3rd sentence: (teachings) should be (teaching) or (has) = (have)
Para 6, 4th sentence: CONSIDER removing (like)

It sounds like you've had good teachers throughout your quest for learning. Keep it up.

I have learned to [first] write the middle of the story, second, the ending, and lastly, the beginning of a story.

When it is time I proofread with [a] fresh set of eyes

I applaud your approach to things - you know what you want to achieve, and you take the steps needed to get you there. Ther best advice I can give any aspiring writers is to read lots - read everything, especially the things that interest you. Before you know it, your writing will improve naturally.

This was a well written article :-)

As none of us here on Earth are perfect, to my mind, the worst kind of person is one who knows he needs to be taught, but will not even try to be better, will not even try to learn. There is little hope for that type of person. Thankfully you are not that type of person. So, thank God for that.

It seems you have learned much from your online writing instructors, the Bible, and your parents. Hopefully what you learned about story writing will help you win fans on FanStory. Please go back and proofread this essay before voting starts. Some words like TAUGHT are misspelled.

    Thank you and for your help! I have fixed the mistakes. Is it better now for a five stars rating? Please check.

    Raul, your spelling is better. Now let?s work on CLARITY. What is this ?literature business? you learned and what are those ?assets of writing? you speak of. I am a former English teacher and a willing to offer help.
reply by the author on 10-Jul-2022
    Okay, I fixed it. I hope that this makes sense. Is it better now?
reply by RodG on 10-Jul-2022
    I?m sorry, but I still don?t know what exactly YOU have learned about literature or writing. Did you learn to analyze literature and look for meaning? If so, what SKILLS did you hone? And are you writing a novel? What have you learned about plotting, building character? I think answering my questions will take too much space.

    Keep working on paragraphs 2 & 3. In 2 you talk about the writing assets you learned and suddenly start giving us your backstory. In 3 you seem to repeat what you said earlier.

    Is this any better? Please help.
