Please reply and tell me if I should continue this story:
The last of the elders
This journey starts in the the far lands of Darr'Mos. A land ruled by cruelty and hatred. Darr'Mos had no king and neaded no king for all the laws were inforced by a council of ten men. Allthow this council was in charge of keeping the peace between the setlements the ten chosen men desired nothing more than power. What was once a mistical land full of humans, gurls, dagwerfs and many other amazing creatures that respected each other was now a 'Dark Kingdome' as the council liked to call Darr'Mos. All the cittyes of Darr'Moss were ruled by the council, except one. The citty of Lup'Durr manged to win a batle aganced the council and for one thousand years it managed to keep it's freedom.
It is sayed that thousands of years ago strange wolflike creatures came to this land and built Lup'Durr. In there tongue Lup'Durr means Houce of the Wolfs. Some say that they built this citty as an offering to their gods but nobody knowes because not even the oldest books speek of how they built the citty or why. Legends say that the ones who built Lup'Durr were buried under it but out of respect no one attempted to find them. Lup'Durr was an amazing setlement with buildings made of stone and marble that were taller than the tallest trees. It was filled with the moast beautiful plants and trees you would ever see in any forest in the land or in any other setlement in Darr'Mos. The people in Lup'Durr loved each other, cared for each other and moast importantly they respected each other. Moast of the laws in Lup'Durr were built on respect and spoke about respect. Some keep wandering how come the inhabitents of this mistical citty managed to live this long in peace and harmony in a land so cruel like Darr'Mos. Another legend sayes that after the citty was built they casted a spell apon it that keeps the peace but some say that it's just because the people that live in Lup'Durr know how to keep that peace. Others think that it's because of the great walls that suround it. These wals were built whan the elders and the inhabitence of the citty decided that it is becoming too dangerous to be so vulnerable aganced any atack that the Council might launch on HER. Moast inhabitence like to refer to Lup'Durr as a SHE. They treat the citty like "The Daughter Of The Land" as some poets call her. Some say that "Lup'Durr is the flower that growes in the hot cruel desert. She is the potion that gives us life and hope".

Sounds like a very interesting story idea! Definitely something you should continue in my opinion. :)

You should always strive to finish a story. No matter what. If you don't the story will always be lingering around taking up space in your mind for the next project you want to work on. I know not every story will be finished but you shouldn't base your decision on whether to continue or not from someones opinion of quality. (Side note: this is not directed at your opinion dido just a general observation) The reason that you should continue are as follows: 1. even bad writing can be learned from. 2. anyting that you can finish is a boost to your ego if nothing else. 3. never let yourself get into a habit of not finishing things because it is a bad habit to break (Trust me on this one.) P.S. I noticed that you deleted earlier post and this is for everyone. If you don't like the way you worded something edit your post. Also if you question is answered don't delete your post because by leaving it you can help the next person to come along with a similar question. Even if later you think it was a stupid question. Everyone in here is a pretty good person and no one will think you are stupid. The truth is others were probably thinking the same thing but weren't as brave as you for asking. Sorry about that it was just a topic that I wanted to discus for a while. Keep writing.

I suppose it all comes down to your reason(s) for writing, whether it be professional, personal enjoyment or trying to curb your inner demons. I agree with Japes insofar as a person always learns from his/her writing. Also, reading different books, journals and magazines can assist anyone in their writing. While writing can be a very personal experience, you are influenced by many factors around you (society, family, personal issues, etc.). Bite the bullet, as they say, and write no matter what. Iwan
