hello - I just found your account and your stories are really something ❤️ I wish, I could write as good as you, I inspire to be like you but I never could because I obliously haven't the talent and I also struggle with mental health issues. any advice or tip? how did you started?

firstly, you are welcome!!! secondly, wow... you actually spent time replying to my comment and even encouraging me? I can't believe that :( people aren't that nice, not often. but, I don't feel any of that - I don't feel smart and surely I don't feel loved but seeing your message made my day!!! I struggle with mental health since elementary and I'm in high school now. I started getting passionate about writing since middle school but I was already ill, I could barely stand or live through the day. I knew back then that I want to start writing and be a writer but I could never do something more than outlining. I write a lot in my free time, but I never wrote my stories even when they are outlined and planned from the start to the end. I'm sure that I'm uncapable of it. now things are a bit different, I got sick of being sick and I want to achieve my dream. I want this to be my month of progress but I'm already failing :( it seems so untouchable and impossible to achieve but that what I ever dreamed of and it won't leave my mind. I appreciate you. you aren't just a good writer. you're a person with a big heart too ❤️ you care, you gave me your time to reply and you give me such useful tips. you're precious and you're unique

@lovelyocean_22 Thank you so much for your kind words and support First off, never talk yourself down! You are so awesome, so smart, and so deeply loved. You can do anything you put your mind to! When I first started writing, I definitely wasn’t too good. But with every new chapter I got a little better. Whenever you’re feeling down, or maybe don’t have much motivation—power through it! I believe you can write great things. Second, before you start the story, think of ways you can make yours different from others. You want to try to make sure your readers don’t feel like they’ve read your story somewhere else before. Third, use capitalization, punctuation, and grammar as properly as you can! Like I said, I believe in you! If you want to write something, just go ahead and start. Then I believe you’ll fall into a nice groove and write something awesome :))
