just study replays

pick a replay with a solid build and study it inside and out.

practice that build over and over against, against a computer if you want, so you dont miss depots, you dont miss factories

honestly, I spent 3 or 4 days just going over one build over and over again, making sure I could do it without a hitch pretty much every time, that I could adapt it fairly well, and it was probably the single greatest jump in my starcraft abilities.

I would reccomend replays involving koreans though

Yeah, I'm D- at a 0-11 record. But I'm getting better too, just have to weather the storm.

#1 thing is improve macro.

This. Protoss with decent macro can get to D+ fairly easily with just 1a2a3a. Macro is the basics of the game, focus on it first.

Just pick a few ladder appropriate builds and stick to them and learn how to micro the units and macro in that game setting and then move on to more standard macro builds.

for ZvP when they fast expo just go 3 hat hydralisk push.

You'll learn to feel when templars and leg speed are comming. How scouting effectives the effectiveness of the strategy. How to micro hydralisks and how to build on hotkeys while attacking 5sh6sh7sh.

ZvT 12hat/11pool/10gas speed first 10 lings try and rush. If that doesn't do damage and you can't win with 2 hat speedlings make your lair and put a den down halfway threw for lurker/ling. Learning to micro this in small battles against MnM will increase your understanding of the
ZvT/TvZ struggle and once again burrow microling lurkers and zerglings together while spamming 5sz6sz7sh. This build will teach you went terran will get Seige tanks when their +1 attack upgrade is complete, and when the earliest vessels can come out.

ZvZ mass lings every game. Good zergling control is what makes a zerg player good, before mutas you need effective zergling control in all matchups. So learn how to do that!

Good luck, I will also continue checking your blog for updates. You can do it padawon!

You can get alot farther than that if you have perfect macro and poor everything else
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
