CPM3 Is Cancelled.

Guys, I'm canceling my new story, due to hate comments and my constructive criticism listening doesn't seem to be working. I give up. I just can't do it. I can't get better, no matter how hard I try. So I just give up.

Well, to be honest, merely listening to criticism doesn't make you an author any more than listening to music makes you a rockstar. You have to apply the advice you're given and practice the skill. It's tough going and it takes a lot of newbies many weeks or months to get any good at it. If it's too much for you to do, and the hobby just isn't for you, then so be it, but to my knowledge you've not:

-heavily edited your own work from the ground up
-sought out an editor or prereader of any kind
-practiced writing beyond this ill-fated series
-attempted to write anything other than OC self-insert fiction

There's quite a bit more you could be doing to get better; you're choosing not to. That's an important distinction to make, I think.

You can try reading other stories first and learn from them.

I can help with writing as well. I'm, by the looks of your youtube videos, about a year or two younger than you. Now, even though this is true, Look at my story,Twilight Nomele(Shameless self promotion yay), and read through it. After your done, look at the like/dislike ratio. Now, though this may seem like an experienced author having normal success, my only other story, Change in the Forecast, Has a much worse ratio. Look back to Twi Nomele.That story, took over months to write, edit, and publish, all on my own. by the looks of how fast cpm3 got out, you barely had any time to even edit the biggest mistakes. I recommend that you sit down, and edit the entire story,or at least get and editor, even if it takes time untill June. Think, How can I make this story better? as some people say, There is always room for improvement. And, if no editor steps up to the plate, I'll be happy to edit your stories for you.

I'm going to quote myself (because nothing is more cooler than quoting yourself! [that was sarcasm if you couldn't tell]) and basically give you the same advice I gave someone else on this site.

1st) Read some of the high-rated stories on this site and see how they're written. Don't copy them outright, but try to see how they write and try to compare it to your own to see what you can do to change.
2nd) Ask people for help, both pre-readers, and if they're willing, other authors on how they write their stories. This can be a great way for two things: Getting to know people better on this site, and learning on how to improve yourself as a writer overall.
3) If you want to get into the business of writing, the very, VERY first thing you need to learn is that all criticism needs to be welcomed, whether you hate what the criticizer says or not.

That is all.
