AGH I can't get to D+. Yeah I know I suck. I haven't dropped past 1600 in ages but i cant get over 2000 either. Ima go insane! just when i hit 1950 I go on a lose streak. T_T;
EDIT: Needs more substance. So I just played on iccup again for the first time in a bit. Not a whole lot but a bit. I am currently at 1880 and I will try for D+ YET AGAIN later tonight after band. Should I cheat and have my brother help me out by telling me what to do? (He's a D level zerg but he knows a bit more about the game than me {PvT and PvZ)

Embrace the losses. Analyze them and learn from them. You will soon welcome a loss as an opportunity to learn something new and to improve.

Or mindlessly mass games, that seems to work just as well.

If you know while you lose you will get better.

If you don't know or don't think about your losses you need to start doing it any you will get better, anyone should have the ability to reach D+ if he tries.

Oh and watching lots of progames help, don't just watch the battles but observe every action and understand why they're doing it, and start using their tactics and strategies.

Try to focus on certain parts of the game and you'll hit D+.

Maybe focus on micro for 20 games then focus on macro or try this build for 20 games then switch.
Playing randomly will improves very slowly.

how's your pvp?
just having a few solid build orders on the motw's for pvp can carry you to C- easily.

yeah, you should just do the same build over and over again if you want to improve. Doing random build orders is autofail, same with cheese. I dont know how you play, but my suggestion is to play straight up, and just pay attention to macro and try to read what he is doing.
Really, play for fun!
