I've no doubt that, if you keep writing, you'll become as good as you want to be. Judged on the admittedly small sample size of your TNG application, you're probably already ahead of where I was when I first started.
******^ lol jk...ish my application is a short story. So it probably won't get too much of a good rating, really it's just to give me more time to get farther into my long story...
Hey poller, If you ever get around to reviewing, (we all know how slow continents move) I'd be willing to help review for the guild. If not, that's fine. Just thought I'd offer my assistance.
