User blog comment:Dorkpool/"This Is My First Pasta"/@comment-26490050-20150627174435

I agree. Before I posted my first pasta, I did a lot to develop my story and writing skills. I checked it three times for grammar and spelling, had it reviewed by Deviantart, and then posted it on here. Even before that, there was a lot of writing experience both in and out of school. Right before, I researched literary technique like character development, imagery, etc. Writing takes time. At first, it can be an idea scribbled on a piece of paper in a few sentences, but by the end, it should be an artful piece.

And as I go, I try to improve my techniques and skills. People should try out different things and practice before throwing in on the internet. In my second story, I tried first person instead of my usual third person. Now, I'm developing characters of all levels for my next pasta. It's all about improvement, not becoming viral or popular like the famous ones.
