@DeathToAllReligions
The reason to avoid writing a novel that’s already been done is precisely *because* no publisher will touch it, and then you’ll have wasted all that effort. The point was *really* subtle, I know…
I wrote a novel that’s historical Fiction
My inspiration was :
Crime and Punishment
My novel is here :
lulu.com/product/hardcover/les-punis-les-exonérés/16339993
Punished and exonerated
also, it’s in french.
I want to do a Historical Fiction type book.
My Inspiration:
The Count of Monte Cristo
i ment link
Santa Claus is coming to Youtube.

An appeaser is a person who feeds a crocodile,
hoping it will eat him last!

@AlextheGreat011 ‘parently not…
@jayrunningbull Not in the UK…
@Sm00th727 Stop worrying – you’re a teenager. Not a lot is going to “purely” interest you right now. And teenage years are the wrong years to write a memoir – you’re changing all the time because these are the years you’re becoming an adult. What you’ve written probably hasn’t become lies so much as it now describes a different person to who you are now. Don’t worry, live your life a little bit longer and then think about writing

He told a joke. That does not mean he is a joke.
@allxtar How is he a joke?
Please explain what you have don ein your life, what you have achieved that makes this guy here a joke in your eyes.
the novel inside you needs to come out… this guy is a joke
@costateguise I can take it.
@AlextheGreat011 No problem. Additionally…dont be a writer if you can’t take constructive criticism
@costateguise Oh just be quiet
@AlextheGreat011 If you want to be a writer…I would learn how to spell properly. 1) Woulden’t is spelt wouldn’t. 2) Relistic is spelt realistic. 3) Cought is spelt caught. 4) Atention is spelt attention. 5) Writeing is spelt writing. 6) Pice is spelt piece. – You would have thought that someone that has been writing for years would know how to spell the actual word ‘writing’.

@costateguise It will take me about 2 years to finish. I got a LOT of time to edit. So, I woulden’t correct me yet, and by the way, this is a fiction story, so it is, well relistic fiction. I am not even close to being done. I still need to work on it yes I KNOW I AM NOT STUPID. I COUGHT THE ATENTION OF HALF OF MY CLASS BY ANOTHER WRITEING PICE. YES I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS!! So yeah, um I am not done with it yet. You might still like my others though, my story is going to be way longer.

@AlextheGreat011 It doesnt actually make sense. 1) First of all you dont write with numbers. So it would be fourth grade not 4th grade…2) “But we still get to play math games, But also algebra.” This sentence doesnt make sense and you have put a capital letter after a comma. 3) “Is here for. We made this little spy group.” I also can’t see how that sentence makes sense…Its not going to be something that interests people. Especially if your writing to publish a book. Very limited audience.

CHAPTER 1…
Being a 4th grade student s very tough. More of this, more of that,
more of everything. But we still get to play math games, But also algebra.
Is here for. We made this little spy group.
Thumbs up if this is a good story so far.

@GilliganKrueger0829 No not at all. It would help a lot if you began to start reading but just because of poor grades in English class doesnt mean anything at all. English courses limit you to one way to write and try to deprive you of personality and character. Listen to guys such as this man who is a genius and join some online writing clubs. And again, it would help A LOT if you would start reading. Literature is the best art form besides music if you ask me so don’t give up on it.

Thank you so much! This was very helpful, but I have a personal question. Since English was always my weakest class in school and I was never that big of a reader, should I give up on writing and forget my stories?
