Re: How long did it take you to get good at writing?

I actually wrote a million word story over the course of several years. The difference in the beginning of the story and the end was startling. The beginning was definitely more stereotypical of teen fanfiction where the ending felt more realistic to the characters. It was a really great learning tool as I learned all sorts of things about pacing, character voices, unnecessary filler, how to finish, etc.

It's hard to judge one's own work but if I am good, I think I realized it when I wrote a pastiche of an 19th century author. I had several comments that I had managed to emulate their style to where they could see the author having written it.
