Attention grammar pros - "I'd like to RSVP for me and a friend" or "myself and a friend"??
So here's my final version - "A friend and I would like to partricipate in the xyz etc." what I learned from the answers: * List the friend first * Use I to eliminate the me/myself mess * Avoid using the word RSVP so thanks a bunch :)

Am i a good writer? Does this sound good? (p.s im 13 years old trying to become a writer!)?
I'm 17, and i've been writing since I was little. I used to write stories like this as well, and it took me a long time to realize what I was doing wrong. I'm not talking about your grammar and spelling like everyone keeps referring to. You can fix that on your own. What you need to take another look at is your story itself, and the way you bring it about. When you begin writing, you should have at least a vague idea of how the story is going to turn out. Also, you need to begin with something that will catch attention. I would never start out with an introduction. Never. Most of the time, you'll lose your reader right then and there. The way you wrote yours also makes your main character sound very immature. I know she is supposed to be 13, but the way you write as her makes her sound 8. (Also, refrain from using the word "stuck upey"). While I was reading, I got bored pretty early and it didn't get better. There didn't really seem to be any big underlying story in there. A 13 year old girl Brittney who is not preppy and has a twin. Her neighbor is a cute boy named Danny. Her twin sister is a model who is coming home after being in Paris a long time. Danny and Brittney go to a friends house. That's basically your first chapter stripped down. By the end of your first chapter, your reader should have a better idea of what is going on. If you decide to make your story one of those that starts out vague and reveals more as it goes, that's fine too. Just make sure you write it in a way that makes them want to keep reading. Spice up your plot. One thing I personally would change that you don't really have to change is the point of view. My preference is to write from a third person pov. That way, youre not stuck in the mind of one character and you can branch off into anything you want. When you write in first person like you did here, we are confined to the thoughts of this 13 year old girl and what goes on around her that she perceives. Sometimes you may want to get out of that. At least, I do. But whatever you do, don't give up. Whoever said you won't be a writer until you are 40 doesn't know what they are talking about. As long as you want to be a writer, you should keep on pursuing it. When people give you criticism, take it constructively, and let your writing grow. The more you work on it, the better you will get. Good luck!

The grammar is correct, but the rhetoric is faulty. In other words, I have no idea what it means. Please provide the logic: who is addressing whom, what is the situation, and what is expected to happen after the communication is completed?“Grammar is concerned with the thing as-it-is-symbolized. Logic is concerned with the thing as-it-is-known. Rhetoric is concerned with the thing as-it-is-communicated.”—Sister Mary Joseph.
