Things you can do:

-Avoid cliches. Original stories are more intresting.

-Lead your story in an intresting way. Make your reader WANT to read.

-Cut out unnecessary details. You don't want to bore your reader.

-Practice dialogue. This one is hard, so don't worry about it too much.

Everyone says we were being harsh, but it was just friendly advice. Sometimes a story just doesn't work out. Just drop it, and move onto a new idea. As a writer, don't get too attached to your work. I can't count the number of stories I got maybe halfway finished and never uploaded. I really appreciate the feedback. I know I seemed harsh but I really want to make this work even if it means changing details. I was just frustrated when I was told some ways to improve it and then was told it needed to be scrapped. So I'm sorry if I was over defensive
