Writing - you give it everything you have. Sometimes that's enough, sometimes it isn't.
When I was 11, I started on this story, it was my first attempt at writing, and it was the best thing i ever wrote - so I thought.
I look through it now, and there are a couple sections that I want to burn. The voice is awkward throughout most of it, characters make ridiculous mistakes and do things that don't really make sense - all for honor. As you get to the end, though, you begin to see it change. The voice becomes a little smoother, plot holes begin to mend, and it gets better.
And then I stopped writing it. I stopped writing.
Then I found inspiration, I began writing again. This time, the story was better. And it went on for a few months, then I dropped it. I had become very interested in one of the secondary characters, I began writing about her.
So many versions poured out of that decision, and not all of then were very good.
That characters name was Sorrow Fleetfoot, I am currently on my . . . umpteenth version, and enjoying every minute.
The point to this story? (Yes, there actually is a point to this story.)
Writing gets better the more experience you have, and the more you do it.
