Sure you can. Doesn't mean that you should. Just give it to some people to read and get comments. That's the important part about assuring that you wrote something that's readable.

"Polishing it later", aka editing, is an unavoidable part of writing. No matter how amazing you write it, there will always be mistakes, some words duplicated, some words written wrong and some sentences that doesnt make sense. Thats why there is a business called "Editor".

Since you wont have an editor soon, you yourself and your friends will do the job. I assume you are writing your story in chapters. So when a huge chapter around 40-50 pages finishes, read it again from the begginning.(dont do this until you reach the end of the chapter). You will notice some of your errors or see a section you could have written better.

I myself find my work horrible. I mean whenever I am reading them again, I think "what was i thinking, i am no writer." However I had more than 10K followers 8 years ago when I started writing my first story on a RPG site. They loved my work so I kept writing. And thats when I got the offer to write a book that would be published. So long story short, most people dont like the food they cook. I think it is in human nature.

There's gonna be a lot to polish, I tell you that :D

Aaand I'm stuck again. I keep wondering things like "can charcoal be used as a make up?" or "Does she use leather straps to keep her hair up?" instead of writing the big picture...

I think I need to get a grip.

Well, first you need to get to the Finnish, then you can start with the Polish.

That was actually pretty funny :D

I'll never be able to finish this...

Or so it feels like. I feel like I can never be satisfied with the quality of my text...

You have to let go at some point. Have you written everything yet? If not, don't worry too much about the prose. Easier said than done, but really, the important part is having a finished story, raw as it may be.

The problem for me is that I never can settle on one thing to do. (And of course that I spend too much time on the internet.) I started polishing a story, then moved back to learning RPG Maker, then I play a bit of some game, read a bit of a book, ... In the end I hardly finish anything.

The The 2015 NaNoWriMo Writing Tools Bundle is a nice bundle of writing books at StoryBundle. I will probably buy the $15 tier (there are $5, $15 and $25 tiers), just so I can have a few more valuable reference books I will never refer to.

For the writer who goes by KneeTheCap I might suggest a book from the $25 tier called The Pursuit of Perfection and How it Harms Writers, by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. Note that this book is an edited form of 3 blog posts by the author.

A problem.

Let's think of a scenario, where a hunter saves the hunted, because the said hunter needs the skills possessed by the, uhm, hunted. How would it be possible for those to eventually become friends?

Stockholm syndrome? That doesn't necessarily fit. I think.

It sounds more like a symbiotic relationship if anything. However, it could be that both end up as the "hunted" for a much more prolific predator and in a hostile environment they need to pool their resources to make it out alive.

I suppose the two having a common antagonist could work.

Thanks for the insight. A common enemy might work, actually. But would it be too much of a cliché?

Well, not necessarily. I suppose it depends on your antagonist of choice. It doesn't have to be another common enemy race, but perhaps a common harsh environment or even situation which only rewards both if only there is cooperation.

Maybe they're involved in some space combat in which they both mutually disables each others' ships, far from their home base and each of them holds a piece of hardware on their respective ships that combined could allow them to return to civilization; however, they first need to communicate and then learn to pool their resources to reach that goal, lest they be lost in the far reaches of space forever.

I'm sure there are many ways to put a twist on it such that it becomes less cliché.

Good points!

Okay, let me share some light to this whole scenario.

Person A is a tracker, that works for the group that hunts mages. Person B is a mage, that gets involved with a group that seems to offer mages a safe place to practice their art.

Person A's whole life goal is to open a set of iron doors, located at their home's basement. The town where this home is located, is off-limits to everyone, though some bandits roam the area. By King's orders, no one goes in and no one comes out. Nevertheless, Person A has visited the place multiple times, since Person A is a skilled outdoorsman. But Person A has no way to open those doors. During one mission with mage hunters, Person A has to do something that does against the morals of Person A, and decides to quit the group. The group is led by Person A's close relative, to whom Person A feels indebted.

Mage hunter group becomes aware of Person B and skills that one has and notifies the King. The King orders the group to find and eliminate this Person B immediately. The group has no way of tracking the Person B without Person A's skills, and the King pretty much orders Person A to join forces with the group. Person A cannot but obey, since who would question the king?

Person B is under the safe guidance of the one protecting mages, until Person B learns the reason behind said "safezone". Person B needs to escape. Person A has located Person B and learns that Person B has the way to open the iron doors.

That's the scenario. Would it be possible for Person A and Person B to become friends?
