Well Mr.Top Hat, Honestly, looking back on some of the things I wrote in 9th grade, I can say I wrote that poorly at one point(Maybe in like 7th grade) Mainly because In school we were never fucking taught how to express an idea or basic grammar. Throughout middle and highschool we only wrote 3 stories, that's it.

We never even got feedback from the teacher. One even had to be a Greek story, but I made it into a sifi story with video game characters because I was like 12 and got a D, but A for creativity.

It's honestly fundamentals, you can either learn them by the book or through reading things like I had to in time. As, with more practice, I was able to form characters better and what not. I do have to say there's good and bad to both.

For example, people who get all A's and have had actual training in school, can't seem to write characters worth shit, while the only redeeming thing in my stories are the characters. (Just my personal opinion, ofc)

However, given they cry like little bitches, I have a hard time thinking it's as simple as not learning basic grammar, fundamentals, and pacing, but rather their own laziness and never being told they can't have/do something without effort. Keep in mind they're all most likely special snowflakes who haven't even went through the angst of puberty that blossoms all writers.
