Is my writing any good or do I suck?
So basically, I am interested in writing, mainly something like Science-fiction. But I feel like I am not such a good writer. I've received plenty of compliments, for an example: "Oh, you write so well! You're probably the best writer I know!" which my best friend said a while ago. While my teacher said that I have great potential and that I should allow my talent to unfurl. Yet, I don't feel like a good writer. I have many, many ideas, but I never have the energy to finish them, I suppose my attention span is that short. I'll show you an example of my writing: "She gritted her pearly white teeth as she ran the cold blade across her pale wrist. A hiss of pain was quickly replaced with a satisfied sigh as the endorphin kicked in. She watched as beads of blood slowly seeped from the wound she acquired only a moment ago and finally transforming into a trail of the dark crimson liquid she saw pouring from her wounds every day. “Sally?” A heavy knock on the bathroom door brought her back to reality. The blonde called Sally stared momentarily at the door and then looked at the tiled floor as she heard drops of her own blood explode when they hit the ground. “Sally, can you hear me?” Her brother's thin voice sounded worried, he once walked in on her cutting herself and forced her to see a psychologist. It worked, for a short period of time, but Sally couldn't handle leaving her addiction so she kept carving her arm, of course keeping it a secret from her brother Bruce. “Yeah,” She paused for a moment. “Just a sec', coming out.” Quickly, she wrapped a bandage around her wrist, halting the blood flow for a bit. She washed the knife and hid it in its usual place, underneath the sink. She knew it was only a matter of time before Bruce would discover it there, but she would have to chew that food later. She came face to face with her tall older brother as she opened the worn door. He was tall enough for Sally to have to stand on her tip toes to give him a peck on the cheek. “Phew,” He breathed, “You had me kind of worrying there for a second.” He chuckled and bent slightly to wrap his strong arms around his smaller little sister." How does that sound? I know it's pretty far-fetched to seek answers from strangers on the internet, but it's really the only option. I am ready to accept critiques.
