I was going to make a webcomic with this idea i had, but i am thinking about stopping since i am getting alot of hate, i guess i am just not a girl who could make a webcomic or could reach her true potential, should i just stop making my webcomic?

But Alex's father doesn't believe him, he ask's Alex questions about running away from home for example '' where will you eat,sleep,etc. What are your friends reasons for coming with you?'' Alex answers the questions but is not sure about them. But Alex vows to save his father on his journey and will keep his friends alive, so Alex and his friends goes on their journey from Tallahassee to Miami to save Alex's father.However, with the razors being all around the state of Florida this trip may cost Alex and his friends their lives.

    GAAAAAH THIS WEBCOMIC.

    Do what you want. You asked for advice, you asked if it needed work, and people will be brutally honest with you. In my opinion, your writing isn't the best - it needs improvement for sure - but how are you to get better if you don't practice?

    Don't take it as "hate" and be petty about it, you asked for the truth and you got the truth.

      I was actually pretty okay with the truth, i just hate it when people flame and don't give me any honesty or feedback, for example '' I am sick of you! fuck you! How old are you?'' that is one of the comments i got on one of my post.

    This really isn't the place for advice. Why don't you try a beginners writer's forum? Where they can actually give you the advice you need.

    Or at least give it a break in between posts. Popping one out daily or whatever makes it look like you're not putting much consideration into it. Take the time to work on the draft on your own before submitting it. Sit on it for a week or something.

    WHAT?! No, don't stop!

    I'm sure you'll get fans someday! Maybe this isn't just the right place! Post it somewhere else! Hurry! Don't let your dream die!

    Be motivated by something else. It's YOUR opinion of what to write, not OURS. Because if we like something you dislike, but you just want to get love out of it, you may not be in the mood for writing...

    So, continue! Okay? Yeaaaaah!

    (Don't worry, I love your work! Keep it up! :D)

    BTW Be Alex. He doesn't wanna give up escaping Florida. And YOU don't wanna give up writing! Dooo iiiitttt!

    Not give up, put it aside while you practice writing (and drawing). It's not that common that a child can write a comic (I'm guessing you're under 18, correct?). I know, you probably don't want to hear this, but if you are really interested in being a comic writer, don't give up, but keep practicing on the basics, such as realism and grammar, every day, and when you are a little older you will look back on this and maybe laugh, or be more able to improve it. Another bit of advice- if you think it's good you wouldn't be here every week asking for help- you will know what names, places, etc. work for you.

    I've said this once but I'll say it again:

    Making a webcomics requires both story writing and illustration skills. Your writing demonstrates an inadequate knowledge of grammar and basic punctuation, you haven't shown us a single storyboard and you get defensive when people try to critique your work.

    Put your webcomics on hold, learn how to construct properly punctuated sentences then start looking into the basics of composition. You've got a long road ahead of you.

    I've stopped commenting on your posts because I had nothing good to say about them. However, this time you asked directly, so I'll answer honestly, hopefully without your thinking I'm being cruel.
    First, I'm sure I'm not your target audience, which has it's pluses and minuses. I read your comic as posted. The subject wasn't interesting to me. It was predictable and boring. I didn't feel an affinity for any of your characters, all important things you need to understand if you wish to write. You need to build characters the reader cares about, wants to know and like. Build being the operative word here.
    As Charlie says, a writer's forum may help, but taking a few classes in creative writing at night school or wherever also could help. You sound very, very young and I don't think you should give up on writing, but you need to educate yourself on how to write, if you want folks to read your work. Good luck.
