How can I improve my writing abilities?
I hope to one day publish a novel and I guess I'm "Okay" but I'm just not at the ability I need for putting my stories to paper.
Write every day.

Everyone hates their writing.
Just write godawful trash, post it here and get it torn apart and repeat until you aren't shit.

solution: write in a notebook. psychologically much harder to cross out with pen than hit delete.

if you don't hate your writing then you have no hope of ever becoming good. You still have to be reasonable though, if you have no talent at all don't waste your time.

At the risk of sounding narcissistic, I think I do have a little talent, especially on the creative side. At least thats what everyone tells me. I guess I can write too, even though thats the thing that comes with time.
