Inspiration to write...

I had asked my friend to read over something I wrote and to fix the grammar a bit but she went and changed up lines and added some and I'm just...? 

I mean it was my piece and I was really proud of it but I guess it's no good and I had just gotten back into writing and that kinda all the insoirinspi from me and now I just feel... I don't know? Ashamed of what I've been writing? Like--- damn I knew I wasn't amazing but still. 

I don't know I wanna hold onto the inspiration I have for my readers because they're so loyal and amazing but... God.

Heyyy its alright! There is always a room for improvement! And i checked some of your stories and theyre good! We all have flaws and we aint perfect gurl. Even though ur writing isnt on some John Green level- who is even in asianfanfics anyway? Just keep writing and you will improve by time and youll show to that friend how amazing u can be!!

That's why I don't show my writing to my friends, they can read the story if they're curious once it's posted. The thought that the story may have been different or you could have chose a different path is just sad.

Hey buddy... Don't worry ... You should continue your writings and there is nothing to be feel ashamed... We all have flaws and we are not good in everything but that does not mean we can't do that thing... Keep writing and your inspiration is there in your heart...

Have you asked your friend why she changed lines and not only the grammar? She is the only who can answer your questions... Sometimes (It is my case) because I am not à native english, mysentences are wrong and doesn't really make sense. And above all, as soon as a beta reader had revised a story of mine, I got more subscribtions. So, It worthed the pain!
And no link with your inspiration. Making grammar errors and bad sentences don't mean the writer is not gifted. Writing and editing are two different tasks! Hope my say help you.

Don't give up just yet. I am not good in grammar too but it is something workable but inspirations, they are like blue moons.
