patterns; Are you a writer or follower!

I have tried to write patterns in the past and failed, learning from our mistakes makes us better crafters! I wrote a pattern for a dog leash, it is simple and would be great for beginners! I can follow a pattern fairly well, but this certainly challenged me! I would advise any seasoned crocheter to take that next step! I love challenges and doing new things, so for me I need a new project going all the time! How many of you out there are the same way! My husband say's if I don't have 10 things to do at a time I wouldn't know what to do with myself!
                                                        Basic Stitches:
1.     BASIC DOUBLE CROCHET              
Any # of stitches (add 1 for Base Chain)
1st row=Miss 2 ch (count as 1 double crochet), 1dc into next and each ch to end, turn.
2nd row=1ch (counts as 1dc), miss 1 st, 1dc into next and each st to end working last stitch into tch, turn.
rep. 2nd row until desired length is reached


Hint: In some patterns the turning ch does not count as a stitch when working dc. In these cases the 1st dc is worked into the 2nd ch from hook on the 1st row, and thereafter into the 1st dc of the previous row.
