    Your writing is very good from what I can see, a lot better than people I do know who's first language is English, and without dyslexia, or anything like that. If you're worried, get a beta reader to check your work for you - a lot of people on here would be happy to do it for you.

    I would keep at it, and to be honest that lin thing coes up with loads of stories anyway, probably over the slightest imperfection. And you could always ask someone to be an editor for it anyway, if your worried about the English in it not being perfect.xx

    Seriously, if you write stories like you write your journal, you'll be fine. I think the only way a story will get deleted is if the title is decorated. The story itself just gets suspended until the problems are fixed. But from what I can see, you have really good grammar and spelling. Or at least, better grammar and spelling than loads of people here. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

    And stories don't have to be perfect. They basically just have to have effort put into it. Basically, if you try to spell everything correctly and you try to have good grammar, you should be fine.

    If your stories are anything like this journal, you should be fine. You didn't make a lot of mistakes at all. Hell, you actually write better than half of the older teens on here who DON't have any learning disabilities.

    The thing about the stories is for people who use chatspeak or who are just being lazy with their typing... like not using punctuation, correct spelling (like spelling cool as 'kewl'), or using chatspeak abbreviations (like 'wtf?').

    If you're still really worried about your writing, you can always get a beta reader. They'll read your story and fix problems they see. :)

    If it's something you enjoy, something you like to do, then you wouldn't even question stopping just because your spelling isn't amazing.
