Hello,
I'm not entirely sure whether this is the correct place for this, it looks like a "general discussion" sub-forum.
My question, as you've already guessed from the title, is this:
I have tried to write a short story countless times, I never liked the result so I never got passed one thousand words.
But this one time I though that this one might not be as bad as the others. So I continued, but I took the A Clash of Kings
from my bookshelf and opened a random page. I needed to read no more than one sentence to remember why I never finish a story.
Of course and I don't expect my stories to be able to match one of the most famous fiction books but still, I feel like I'm wasting my time.
Can you reach the level of writers like George R. R. Martin or J. R. R. Tolkien by practicing? Or you're either good or bad, and no amount of
work can change that?
Again, if I'm writing in the wrong section I'm sorry.
