How much would you say you've improved as a writer since you started writing?
I started writing when I was about...8 or 9! I tried writing a book in a Marble notebook around that age. Sadly, that notebook is long gone and lost, so I definitely cannot start from there...
So, I'll just say that, well.
Recently, I read my godawful fanfictions from ten years ago that were literally just talking upon talking. Yikes! That was a pretty awful read! But, we've definitely all been there where you're not an experienced writer. We've all been there.
I say I've definitely improved a lot from that. In 2014, I wrote a horror novel and it had a lot of description. I had a repetition issue (but most of the repetition was written that way on purpose anyway) and tense issues here and there, but I definitely had improved from 2010-2011 to 2014.
Now, in 2021 I'd say I'm a pretty good writer, but I feel very egotistical saying that. I want to post a side by side comparison of my writing from ten years ago to something I wrote last week, but I don't want to spoil what I'm writing but maybe if it's cool I'll post an excerpt.
I also want to say that apart from writing a few RPs with a close friend, I hadn't written much of anything seriously since about 2015! Despite that, I still feel like I got it and didn't lose my touch.
Anyway, I look forward to people telling me how their writing's improved! I encourage all of you to go dig up your old fanfics or original writing and read it. Also, read something you recently wrote, too, to compare from then to now!
