I used to be an aspiring writer. I used to write short stories and poems. I stopped doing it a long time ago, and I kind of regret it. I liked doing it a lot, and I even published some of it on another forum. But it was in my native language and I was quite young, 12-15 maybe, still, people seemed to like them. Some I didn't get any reactions for, but those were mainly intended as a part of something bigger, so they weren't as complete as my other ones.
I think reading good literature is immensely important. For example, after I finished The Catcher In The Rye in one go and tried writing a story afterwards I noticed it my writing improved immensely. But I deleted that one, strangely enough. I did that with all of my best work, with the exception of one poem.
