I just finished this science-fiction story, The Priceless Bounty, and I'm thinking maybe I'll do something with it. What do you think? Worth a try? Read it and tell me!

Hey Cuni! I took a look at your story; I generally stay away from science fiction. Not my thing.

If you have something you think is worthwhile, get it out there! There a loads of contests, for young writers or adults, that you could enter, or magazines you could submit to. Sending your writing out, even if to certain rejection, is an important part of being an experienced writer.

Just make sure you check your story carefully. I noticed a few spelling/grammatical errors in it (I'd be happy to go over them if you send me a PM). One thing you can do is have a teacher or friend read it; others will often catch mistakes reading your work for the first time that you'll miss.

Great job!

Cade is absolutely right. If you like it, get it out there. It has promise, but as I've said, needs something more.

The only way it's not going to happen is if you decide not to give it a go. You never know until you try. But, that's entirely your decision. :)
The beautiful part of writing is that you don't have to get it right the first time, unlike, say, a brain surgeon.
