Well, you're already showing determination. That skill is the writer's best friend.


And don't worry about learning grammar; at school I couldn't understand it at all, but then I read websites full of info on it and bought books as well. Now I've been told I have a very good grasp of the English language.

If you're determined, you will learn.
