Stories

I have two or three stories in mind but to be honest I have no confidence in my writing and am scared to write and put them up that and i don't have a per-reader and editor.is there anyone that can give me advice?

hmm....
Well. I can link you to something someone else posted about this particular topic.
And I can help pre-read... I guess...?

Well you'll never know until you try.

Me, I never have proofreaders. For one or two stories I have prereaders to look it over and make sure everything makes sense. (Last Brony is not one of those.) If you ask me, the best and quickest way to rid your writing of typos and grammar problems is on the spot, as you write it. I have backspaced and corrected 5 words in this comment already, and now I won't have reread the whole thing before I post it.

Other than that, all I can say is: if you get the itch to write, do it. Just pour it all out on paper. Don't worry if it's bad or not just do it. You can look over it later and decide if it needs tweaking.

Then... you reread it. And reread it. And reread it. And keep rereading it, until you have changed absolutely nothing in it this last time you reread it.

Then reread it 2 more times.

Then spend a week picking a good time and day to post it.

Then knock on wood. Cross your fingers. Carry a horseshoe and a 4 leaf clover around with you. Throw salt over your shoulder. Walk into 7 Chinese restaurants and rub their Buddha statue's belly. Pray to a deity if you like. And remember, if no one reads it, it doesn't mean it was bad, that's just bad luck and how fimfiction works.
