Well the only thing I've ever written that I
actually take any amount of pride in is
something of a short story titled "Smother".
In my opinion it's quite good, and I am my
biggest critic. I'd like to post it I'm just slightly
nervous about having others read it and judge
or steal or misunderstand. Haha, and all the
rest of the possible outcomes other than success.
I know I'll have to get over that but I'd like to
know how one is to know their work is worth
showing to others.

The story is about a young woman recalling life
living in a very cramped apartment with her druggie
mother and the key points in her life. I left the
woman nameless for reasons quite obvious; I
simply couldn't think of the right name to describe
her. As she remembers all these terrible things I
felt inspired to write it is as a full book, seeing as
how it was meant to be a mere assignment for my
English class. I never did make it any longer then
some of 7 pages.

Leave some advice if you have any. It would be much
appreciated.

You should definitely post it! That's how we writers get better. And everybody around here is nice. Plus it sounds like a really interesting idea and I'd love to read it.

If you're still up for the novel idea, there's plenty of people here can help you, myself including. Just ask.

Good luck, and let me know if you post it.

Never be afraid to post something.
All of us fellow writers can understand what your thinking and going through and it's not, like we'll full out bash your post...or even semi-bash your post.
haha, no. I'm kidding. Everyone here is nice.

If the idea of a novel is still on your mind, but you can't draw it out long enough, just PM me. I'm great at making things longer and more complicated than they should be.
And I've already written four novels of my own, so, you know, I can help.


Good luck! PM me if you end up posting it!
