I applaud your desire and dream to write.

In perusing your post I noticed a series of grammatical errors, not the least of which is ending sentences with a preposition.

I'd suggest you return to the basics, active and passive verb tense, diagraming a sentence, and in the absence of that, don't edit your own work.

Still, I encourage you.

ending sentences with a preposition

As Winston Churchill once said, ending a sentence with a preposition is something "up with which I shall not put."
