first story dosent have to be bad. I seen a lot of first time writers who has good stories and directing.
I have also seen some who has multiple stories out and there directing still looks bad.
I also feel some are just to lazy to learn. I seen stories where I just sit how come your story is so bad.
my first story did not have good directing. if I wanted to write I had look at my phone to see how the script look. we did write on the internet we could just not see what we made on the computer. I did not have access to the forum and joseph evans had not started on his youtube videos.
but I made sure charaters enterd the right way and faced the right way. and when I see stories who cant even do that I just feel like they dont put effort into their work
