@4xoxoxoxo3 Greetings fellow writer! I stumbled graciously upon your Sanegiyuu fanfic "Sticky Notes." I'll be honest. I haven't read it yet, but I do indeed plan to pick it up later today once I have some more free time.
            
            Now then! Why I'm here? I just like to check out authors who are into the same ships as me. I also wanted to tell you something.
            
            No one judges your writing but you! It'll only "suck" if you say it does, so naturally you just need to feel good about it. The only way to get "better" is to keep practicing. Practice doesn't make perfect, it makes progress as you continue to write. (Coming from someone who genuinely had some very concern-able issues in my writing journey. I used to add "-ing" to the end of every adjective thinking it sounded cool haha.)
            
            Another note! Descriptive words can 100% enhance your writing, not to mention using the right tags on your book. But back to the whole descriptive words thing. Take the bland sentence "He danced under the moonlight as the wind blew by." Its a cool thing this guy is doing and all...but that didn't pull you into his action, did it? It tells us what happened, but it doesn't tell us how it felt or what it looked like. 
            
            Here are three different ways to rewrite it, depending on the mood you want to set: 1. The Romantic/Ethereal Vibe: "Bathed in a wash of pale silver, he swayed, his movements rippling like silk caught in the night’s gentle breath."
            
            2. The Intense/Wild Vibe: "He spun beneath the moon’s cold glare, a whirlwind of motion that sliced through the howling gale, daring the wind to knock him down."
            
            3. The Melancholy/Sad Vibe: "Under the ghostly gaze of a waning moon, he drifted—a solitary figure letting the biting wind dictate his rhythm, as if he were nothing more than a falling leaf."
            
            Now, the "Cheat Sheet" for doing this yourself! Kill the weak verbs, add texture, and give your actions a personality. See how the mood changes entirely just by swapping the descriptive words?
