I have the doubt if I should try to post some of the stories that I had made in this site, they are fictionary, I still can be considered some amateur in writing and my english is not the best.
Still this could help me to get feedback and improve. My idea will be to so some tug stories with a dual pov or a solo pov or a combination (example: one pov from the one tying and then the pov of the one that try to get free).
I will like to hear your opinions. Thanks
Should I upload some of my stories here?
English is a difficult language if you do not speak, read, or write it naturally. It has two variations - Continental English, and American English, with one distinction being spelling. "Neighbour" would be Continental; "Neighbor" would be American.
The first thing you want to do after writing a story, is to decide whether you want to present the story in Continental or American English. Then find someone on the board, proficient in your preferred variation, who can proof it for you.

Absolutely, I too don't speak english as good as I'd like to yet I'm currently publishing two stories here. The only thing you need to do to post your stories here is commit to them, keep the parts going if the story has multiple parts and don't be afraid of making edits once the story is published.
Thanks, yeah I most of the time first write them in Spanish (my main language) and then passed to english to understand morebanshee wrote: ↑3 years ago Absolutely, I too don't speak english as good as I'd like to yet I'm currently publishing two stories here.

Of course, share your stories. And don't worry about your English too much, people here seem to be pretty good about not being jerks about it. Also, your skills will automatically improve, the more you write.

...and don't get dismayed at once! Many good stories here that getting not much or nil comments. I blaim myself for several 'silent approvals'---
Go for it. As a Spanish speaker, your presentation of dialogue will differ from that of native speakers but you will not be the only writer on this site who uses a hyphen (-) instead of inverted commas (").

The answer to your question seems fairly self-explanatory.
We are all amateurs here (the vast majority of us anyway). Lots of the stories you're reading/will be reading are written by authors who only have English as a second or third language.
As Felix pointed out, practice is one of the best teachers.
The one suggestion I'd like to add is that you install an English language spellchecker on your computer or tablet.
The spellchecker is not completely foolproof, but it will pick up on words that don't exist or that are not written correctly.
Ex: "Fictionary" is not a word in English. A spellchecker will pick up on that right away.
I hope you do share your work with us.
That's what this place is about.

Making words up is half the fun - it seemed to work for Shakespeare! I quite like the sound of 'fictionary' - "What fictionary is this, that confuses the mind of man?"
You should definitely post your stories. I quite like the idea of telling the same story from different perspectives.

A pup is for life but especially for bondage so get out the sleepsack and muzzle.

Tend to agree with [mention]Pup Wingletang[/mention]: neologisms are fun.
Think of Terry Pratchett's great "Embuggerment".

Thanks for your opinions and words. I will likely in the next days upload the first part of my first fiction story (most of them will be divided in 3 parts) and hope that someday had a true experience to share. Thanks again
Looking forward to reading them. I suspect your English is way better than my Spanish 
One other thing: SpellCheck is your friend. Use it. But keep in mind that it won't catch homonyms. (Words that sound alike, but are spelled differently.)
Consider:
"I have a spelling checker.
It came with my PC.
It plainly marques for my revue
Mistakes eye cannot sea.
I've run this poem threw it
And I'm sure your please to no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My checker tolled me sew."
Run that through your spell checking program, and it will tell you there's nothing wrong.
That's why you get it proofread.
