Lol. Melanie, you're not untalented. Writing is not something someone is just good at. I've been writing since I could hold a pencil and if it makes you feel any better I couldn't write any good at all until about 16 years old. My writing used to suck really bad.

As for drawing, practice makes perfect. And my drawing sucks. I can't draw anything I see in my head well. All I can do is look at someone else's art and copy it. That's not talent Mel. Anyone can copy someone else's work if they work at it long enough.

You should finish reading chapter 1 though. And if you can start on the other chapters.

P.s. I read your story remember, it wasn't bad. Just continue to write. Writing is a one way art form, the more you write the better you get. There's no going backwards with it. And the most important thing is never write just for your fans, write something you WANT to write. As Christopher Paolini, writer of Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr, told me, writing is for the obsessed.

Stop pitying yourself. It'll do you no good. Okay?

And don't ever refer to me and Nichole together, ever again. That girl makes my stuff look like stick figures. -_-
