    is this a good story?

    ok, so i wrote this little story. im wandering if i should make a book??? i know i have a VERY long way to go and its not very good, any tips would be very appreciated.



    Code:
     Sweat was pouring down my forehead. I could feel my heart pound like drums.
     I ran like a crazed animal running from its predator. I felt the hand grab my neck, I thought I was going to die right there.
     As I lay wet and cold on the cement rain pounding my face he slammed his knee to my chest. As the wind was forced out of my chest I let out a loud scream.
      In one last attempt I flung my fist at him. I felt the pressure of his jaw break under my fist like glass.
     He fell white as snow to the pavement. I sprung to my feet and was long gone within the minute.
     I needed to get to Zekes house I knew I would be safe there. 3 blocks away from my destination I heard the tire screeches, I froze and with a sudden burst of adrenaline I bolted to the left, flew over a fence into an alley way.
      Within minutes I was safe inside Zekes House.  I had no energy left and I was pretty sure nobody was at the house so I just fell on his couch and slept blissfully.

    is this a good story?

    Ok I must admit, I did not read the story. But.

    If you really really want to be a write, you will have a passion for it and will be able to find inspiration for a story. Writing isn't one of those things that one goes "Dude, I wish I was 'cool' and was a writer. I want to publish my own story".

    Yes you can learn how to write properly from many online sources, but if you don't have an inspiration for it then it ends up just being a waste of time or a big frustration.

    There are many free online writing courses out there that can teach you how to become a half-decent writer, maybe check them out.

    good luck

    Not sure if you are referring to my post or not, but I also said that writing is not something you can simply learn how to do and you will be successful/enjoy it.

    But let's face it, most popular writers and successful authors have taken courses or studied languages to help improve their writing skills and capabilities.

    Sure you can say you have never taken any courses, that you are dyslexic and that you are a good writer. Have you published and books or stories to be printed?
