My Writing...

Is my writing good? Is it bad? I know many people say my writing is decent, but sometimes I wish I could read their mind or something and find out what they REALLY think of my writing. I know this sounds silly but it's true. When people say my writing is good sometimes I have a hard time believing them, because I look at my writing and think 'Oh I could've done better then that' or 'No this is nowhere near as good as so and so's writing'.

Having low self esteem really sometimes -__- I'm thinking about taking a karate class or something, but I'm so damn shy and not very commited to certain things so I'm really thinking about this one. What are some ways though to make me feel good about my writing? I've never really gotten a bad review before..well on fanfiction.net I have but mostly by anonymous users and I consider them cowards for not using a real account to bash my writing at least so they don't matter.

But what are some ways, to make me feel good about my writing? If I say my writing is pretty good, I don't want to sound like I'm boasting about it or anything so yeah...any tips?

I personally like your writing. Everybody has their own opinion on everything so some may disagree. But every writer needs improvement; even the best writers. So to me, you're writing is good but it could be better, just like everyone else ^-^

Honey, I do that every single day of my entire life. That is why I'm rewriting stuff in the first place. You'll get there where you know you're good but you KNOW you're better and you produce what you know represents you better. I happen to like your writing very much; it's good. But keep in mind that the people you are comparing yourself too probably have a lot more experience then you. My favorite writer, K-chan19, has been writing for 16 years; and you can see that in her writing. Everything she writes is near perfect. it just takes time and dedication. experience is key.

Honestly for me it's constantly an ongoing battle. I guess having people who are honest give you good comments is one way. As you probably know, I ____ at English (like I'll always get an 89 >.<)but it's actually my grammar and my logic that . Once I wrote this nature metaphor essay thingy and my friend peer reviewed it (SO MANY GRAMMAR MISTAKES but she liked the metaphors XD) and my teacher gave me a 99%. The same teacher who always gave me Bs or lower.
So honestly, I've learned to accept that yes I ____ at grammar, but I'm awesome at ideas. My teachers and friends who excel at English have told me this after seeing my writing (that's NOT a research essay -.-). Even my mother has told me this after she translated an essay of mine from English to Chinese, after my dad complimented her for her peppy writing style. (Right Mom...)
Honestly though, if you have a general understanding of what you're good, what you're not, and that even if you aren't the best writer you at least know what's good writing, I would say you have the right to say that your writing is pretty good ^_^

I know that feeling. It really to have low self esteem. -___- Don't worry. Your writing is pretty good. :)
And you should take karate classes. I took them for the last 4 years. At first, your body really aches but then you get used to it. XD
