Some people are perfect; Obviously I'm not, as stated in my post.
I never finished high school so I write at year 9 level. I think the main points come through in my post though.
The internet is full of people willing to point out other people's faults so I assumed someone would find something wrong with my post. You get the prize for being first. Maybe in different circumstances I would have had the chance to gain a better education, but through circumstance I was forced to find my own way.
I've never pitched myself as a good writer or someone whose example others must follow.
Yay I get a prize! I don't usually get prizes XD
Don't feel bad, I know plenty of people who have finished school and compared to them your writing looks top notch. And if it's any further consolation I did finish school but you'd probably never guess it from the way I talk XD (Discord is generally close enough to how I talk, with asynchronous conversations like this one I can pretend I'm much more intelligent than I am).
You don't need to pitch yourself as a good writer, your storytelling skills do that for you. And don't take me teasing you too seriously, I'm a brat :)
I don't feel bad, I'm a reasonably successful person when most of the usual metrics of success are considered and am proud to have acheived that through hard work and effort, somewhat against the odds.
So yeah, there's not much of a prize I'm afraid...You win a 1 week subscription of Woman's Weekly magazine...From 1987. Congrats. 😂
