Question: Do I have talent as a writer!?
OK, I promise you this is off the top of my head, I am going to make something up on the spot and I want you to tell me if I have talent as a writer!. P!.S!. I am in 6th grade, 11 almost 12 years old!.

"To Anna, life didn't hold much, she went to school, she did her chores , she went to bed!. Nothing changed!. Ever!. She had a couple of friends who she didn't spend much time with, and the only reason she was in school was because she wanted to be a detective!. I know, I'm weird!. But a detective is really what I want to be!. Yes, I am Anna Gorden, detective in training!. I have never really solved a case, and I have never really ever HAD a case that needed solving, but hey, I'm only 12!. I-" Anna was cut off, her mom had interrupted her AGAIN in the middle of her auto biography as the worlds most famous detective, ok so she wasn't a world famous detective quite yet, but someday she would be!.She ran out the door, she didn't want to be late for her first day of middle school!. She had been dreading this day for well, ever since she watched "Middle school horrors" last week!.

'Justme' made some good observations about tense and point of view--but even those points she made, are not absolute!. You write with clarity and the pace is good, so the reader wants to keep going!. Yes, there are a few small errors ('world's!.!.!.) and choices for punctuation (!.!.!.!.nowhere!."), but you show great promise as a writer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well it's pretty good for someone your age!. I think if you took some classes then you could become great!. It's defintately in you but you just have to make it better!. One thing though!.

You make a few big mistakes!.
You change the point of view from third person to first!. "To Anna, life didn't hld much, she went to school, she did her chores!.!.!.!." then "I know, I'm weird!. But a detective is really what I want to be!." It should stay consistent!. also if it's an autobiography it should always be first person!. also you change the tense from past tense to pretense again and again!. It has to stay consistent!.
It also has other grammatical errors which need fixing but it's okay since you've just started middle school!.
I think you need work but you have some talent in you!. Keep working!.also www!.writing-world!.com has some excellent info for new beginners!.
