My grammar is not up to par, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my sentence? わたし の ろんぶん しっぴつ です. I'm just trying to figure out if it's grammatically correct, if I'm missing any particles, etc. Thanks p.s. Sorry for the lack of Kanji, I don't know enough characters yet.

Assuming the ga after ronbun, this would mean, "my paper is a writing." You want a verb, but shippitsu is a noun. Then you have to change the verb into present progressive to mean "am writing."
