Should I try to write a story?

Post by gimli »

Hello,

English is not my mother tongue, so I am really not sure I should try to write a story. In case I once decide, would anyone here be so kind to check my grammar and help me with that? I don't want to publish any total crap.

Thank you very much.

Hi, [mention]gimli[/mention] If it's not too long, pm it to me and I'll give it the once-over.

Hi,
English is also not my native language, and although most authors are native speakers, it isn't necessary. So just give it a shot!
There are numerous tools out there to check grammar. The most well-known is Grammarly. The free version can track all big errors. Moreover, Scribens can be used to make your text more readable and find synonyms. I also use Thesaurus to find more accurate synonyms and a dictionary to translate some uncommon words.
So I wouldn't be scared of the grammar. If you want me to proofread anything, just send me a pm. But note that English is also not my mother tongue.
