Hey! We don't need negative shit on this thread. Writing is scary enough. Both of you have a facility for language and you both write to mudcat. My bet is that if you both write 3 pages a day minimum, in 6 months you'll have a bunch of good things with images and feelings that you will be able to edit into decent works.

A good book to start with is Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg. Very positive. Good ideas.

If you keep up this negativity I will have to call Praise in when she's finished her sunday church duties to back me up on your underused potential.
