I found a workshop at the local library. Then a group of people I knew (people who wanted to improve their writing) got together and created an informal workshop with a leader. You want to be careful that the people you listen to know something about writing, but often just having readers explain to you issues they have with you piece may be helpful. It's not always easy to put your stuff in front of others and listen to them tear it apart, but it is helpful.Hello @jazclassic,
I encourage you to find some place to practice. Here is good, but not enough. You do have the spark. That's all that's necessary to capture the attention of an audience. It may take a couple of years to get to where you want to be. Personally, I'm still learning :)
That's the problem I don't really know a place were they can encourage me like that, hive is the very first place I have ever shared my work.
And I just read other people's stories and try to improve by myself. But I know I really need to improve, I wish see those type of people online, you know, like post some of my work and they help me with the correction. But I'm not giving up, I love to write so I won't stop practicing. Thank you for replying too.
