  • I haven't read any of your work, so I can't comment on your status as a writer. But I can comment on being called a bad writer, because it has happened to me a number of times.

    I know it's hard, but you can't let those people get to you. If it's constructive criticism, fine. People are trying to help you. But when it's people just plain saying that you're a bad writer, it's wrong. Mostly they're people who are jealous. Otherwise they're just people who like to make you feel bad.

    Never give up. If you're passionate about writing, these people's opinions shouldn't matter to you in the end. Keep posting. Because even if your work is terrible now, I know you're doing it to get better. And that's what matters. Just keep writing, no matter what they say.

    I used to write Harry Potter fan fiction, and somebody hated my work enough to pose as J.K. Rowling herself and tell me that I sucked and I needed to stop writing straight away. But I kept going. And six years down the track I'm better for it. I grew as a writer, made some fantastic friends along the way, and now have more readers than I could ever have imagined.

    So never give up. I know it's hard, but ignore the haters. I'm sure your work is fantastic. =)

  • I'm so sorry that happened. :/ If you keep practicing writing, and love it then you'll be fine! Never stop if it's your passion, I never have and I don't regret it. :)

  • I'm terrible, and I mean terrible, at sewing. But you know what? I still made a bag out of an old pair of jeans and it looks half-decent. If you like to do something, keep doing it. You're not going to get worse at it, but better over time. I'm sure whoever said that was just having a crap day.
