Writing is a skill you can improve on over time. I've seen particular elements I've liked from other writers and I've worked on those things. For instance with this week, I asked for Java's step by step help with providing details. It's something I know I need to work on and it's something I make every effort to do. So yes, you can improve your intricate plots and anything else you want to work on. You're a good writer, you have the ability to write in a way that feels real and natural. You have a natural talent there, you just let fear get in the way. I've been where you are... I'm still sort of there... But trust me, you do have talent. Now it's just practicing and polishing up your ability to add in other elements like complex plots, more details (though I think you are great there, I remember the details from our intersection where you described the cafe and the food so well, I could see it!)

You will constantly surprise yourself at what you can do if you try. I didn't think I could write sci-fi until this season. I didn't think I could write fantasy until last season. And guess what? I didn't think I could write fiction at all until Season 6. But by trying it out and experimenting, you learn so much. I know you can do so much, you are naturally talented, you just let insecurities get in the way. I get that, I'm a lot like that too.
