I am working on a novel. It is the third novel/story I have started since 2016. I will probably abandon it before completion but I am practicing and improving my writing. Eventually I hope be able to write a complete novel. I haven't had anyone review the writing as I am still at the point where self diagnosis and correction is fairly obvious (I make a LOT of mistakes). There is plenty of good writing advice and exercises on the Internet; my writing problems are extremely typical for new writers.

Like my early software, I expect that my current novel will eventually collapse under the weight of inherent lousiness. I will then start again and do better.



Don't abandon it! Keep writing! Then publish it so I can say I cheered on a budding writer on HN :) I'm sure it's a wonderful story!
