My main flaw with writing would have to be my tenses, as in past, present, and future tense.

For example, I'm not exactly sure when you would use "She made brownies," verses "She had made brownies."

Help?

Well, if "She made brownies", then it would be past tense, and if you wanted it present tense it would be "She has made brownies" and then if future tense "She will make brownies", does this answer your question at all?

It helps a bit, but, for example, could I say "She has made brownies yesterday", or would the only proper way to say it be "She made brownies yesterday"... or even "She had made brownies yesterday."

I think I'm still a bit confused.

If you say "She has made brownies yesterday" then..that wouldn't make sense. Say it outloud, or even use word processor.

Past: She had made brownies or She made brownies Yesterday.

Present: She is making brownies.

Future: She will make brownies.
