Scribophile

But you have to be willing to give before you get

Write something, right now, a true measure of ability is improvisation.

>>3279431
Or...not at all?

I know people who can't improv anything to save their lives, but give them the time they need and they churn out brilliance. I'll take quality over speed any day.

>>3279439
Nice excuse. You're a talentless hack who's never going anywhere.

>>3279427
Thanks, I'll take a look

>>3279431
Possibly, but really I don't think that would do much, I have a really big database of scenes and imagary/dialogue, or arguments if it's an essay, in my head that I just write when I sit down to write, it's not really improvisation until I finish putting down all those daydreams (not going to happen as I daydream new stuff everyday, to music)

My writing group is more useful than scribophile (and it can be pretty bad sometimes). I recommend you go to school and meet some other lit students that want to improve as much as you do.

School is not an option :/

Write a book, then rewrite and then go to a publisher. If it's shit rinse and repeat.

>>3279814
But I don't want to get published...

>>3279826

Well, then, just write on friend

>>3279829
But I do want to get better.

>>3279838

Just read more. Be your own judge. It's an art that is learned through practice, not through teaching.

>>3279826

Congratulations, your dream is within reach
