You can do it!!

I totally get the English isn't your first language dilemma. I give you and everyone else a lot of credit for writing in a language other than your first. I used to help beta for a few people who needed help with the english and what I always told them was it doesn't matter about any of that. If you have a great story and believeable characters, no one will care about the small mistakes they may find throughout due to the language barrier. I can usually tell when someone is writing not in their own tongue and very rarely will that detract me from reading it if it's a good story.
Mersey, Maria and Swenglish (going back awhile for Swenglish lol) are three great examples of that.
As far as reviews. I think even though we all say not to write for reviews, we do all look at them as a barometer of how well the story is doing. I should put that in the unpopular opinion thread because I really do believe that's true lol But reviews can also freeze you from writing if you start letting how many reviews dictate how your story is going. Not everyone who reads reviews. Just remember that!

Good to hear you'll have a new chapter Tracy!
I often keep paragraphs I've written too, they are down at the bottom of my word doc for Rewind.
I'm almost finished the next chapter now that I've had the chance to concentrate on it.
mare:
Yay to Both of you Tracy and Steph!
I am about halfway through a new Lurks chapter myself. This is the point of the chapter where my characters start having a mind of their own and wanting to do something I dind't have planned! This is where I need to take yet another break! lol
Carter-Orange:
I hate it when the story takes on a mind of it's own and doesn't do what I planned for it!
mare:
I know! It's annoying but I think this time, Nick wins lol
