You have just reinforced what I said to you.

In this response you did not use any punctuation at all. You wrote seventy-seven words as one sentence. You did not use uppercase for "I". You wrote your, instead of you're. You missed a word in front of "just wanted to know..." You wrote "ill" instead of I'll.

You might be capable of success as a writer in the sense that two things are required, and you possibly have one of them. The two things are the ability to tell an interesting story, and the ability to express that story in a way that a reader will find easy to read and understand. You write in a manner that is not easy to understand, your writing intrudes into your story. It jars the reader, it breaks focus, it detracts from the thread of the story.

Some time spent in learning to write well might make all the difference.
