So i'v been wondering if any of my writing is good or should i just try somting else so hears a sample:

She sat, thinking about how importint it must be. All her dreams could come true if she would just trust him. But she could never. How was she soposed to trust someone she hardly new that could posibly be crazy. So why sould she find herself trusting him?

"Are you okay?" He asked. THat was suprising. he hadn't said a thing all day.

"Um... Ya ... Just thinking." She said. He could be so weard. How did he even know her. Oh ya. He had explained his crazy story of how he had come for her because he needed her to save someone, or somthing like that. What was that soposed to mean exactly? That he should go to the nut house is what it ment. How could he even think such an ubserd thing. He was just crazy for...

"I'm not crazy. You just don't have an open mind. THink, why would I tell you such a weard story? Even better, why would you have come with me if you didn't beleive me?" He said. Suprisingly, I new he was right I must beleive him. Na. ther was no way his story was true. Dose he think im sutped or whar, i think...

"I know your not stupid or anything but it's true."

"Quit that!" He must fricken read minds too.

"Sorry you just think so loudly it's like your screaming" He admited to her.

She sat, thinking about how important it must be. All her dreams could come true if she would just trust him. But she could never. How was she supposed to trust someone she hardly knew, now that would be crazy. So why should she find herself trusting him?

"Are you okay?" He asked. That was surprising. he hadn't said a thing all day.

"Um... Ya ... Just thinking." She said. He could be so weird. How did he even know her. Oh ya. He had explained his crazy story of how he had come to her because he needed her to save someone, or something like that. What was that supposed to mean exactly? That he should go to the nut house, is what it ment. How could he even think such an absurd thing. He was just crazy...

"I'm not crazy. You just don't have an open mind. Think, why would I tell you such a weird story? Even better, why would did come with me if you didn't believe me?" He said. Suprisingly, I knew he was right I must believe him. Na. there was no way his story was true. Does he think im stupid or what? i think...

"I know your not stupid or anything but it's true."

"Quit that!" He must freaking read minds too.

"Sorry you just think so loudly it's like your screaming" He admitted to her.


Your are very talented! You just need to work on your flow. Spellings and Grammar are a bit here and there, but with a bit of work, it can be become anything.

I made edits in the quote above, read through and see what you think.

You need to work at it, some people have a wonderful gift just to write, others work at it. But whichever you are, you are still talented.

Give it some time, a lot of work and just stop some silly mistakes, it could go far.

I'm going to post a bit of my story later on, read through it and see what you think.

It may help you a lot.

Your homophones are all over the place, and your spellings don't look like they've ever seen a spell check. Your grammar doesn't fair up too well, either. So on the technical language side of things, pretty poor.

On the literature side of things, your writing isn't too redeeming either. You don't use any metaphors, alliteration or other poetic devices to create effect. The character speech is pretty life-like, which just makes it boring - there's nothing interesting going on, and nothing about the passage particularly grabs my attention.

Writing requires thought and lots of practice. It's useful, if you want to write successfully, to read lots of books and keep on getting feedback. Look up lots of poetic devices so you can get more imagery in your pieces and capture the reader's imagination and attention.

Like anything - playing the piano, poker, software development or making tea - all writing requires is practice and dedication. You can get there with enough work, but you need people to help you out. Think more actively about what you're writing.

Like Jon said ,it wouldn't hurt for better grammar and spelling check,and you could be a little more creative.

Oh,and the practice, practice,PRACTICE!

You need practice, but it's not horrible.
Sounds like you're writing one of your characters to be psychic, you're not displaying that well. That is, it's too obvious. "Loud thoughts"? I'd've written it to be more subtle, that he "had a feeling", rather than being so blatant about the knowledge.
