STAGE 2~Importance Of Spelling and Grammar
OK, let's get this straight. I will NOT read stories with horrible spelling or grammar. That's final.
No, I am kidding. I can tolerate SOME stories, and by some I mean 15%.
So you all usually text on a device when you type, right? Guess what? If your story has jumbled up paragraphs, I will not read it and accuse you of laziness because YOU did NOT think of tapping the RETURN or ENTER key. IT IS THAT SIMPLE!!!
But let me help you with when you seperate paragraphs. So here is an example of a NO-NO Paragraph:
"Why leave me alone?" stated the teen. "I... I want to protect you. Don't you understand? If I stayed, they will know something is...""Then go and never come back... You never cared.""Don't get me wrong, Arina."
SEE?! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS? Probably no. Then that is called an expert reader. But for the majority of us, this is what we will understand:
"Why leave me alone?" asked Arina in sadness and confusion.
"I... I want to protect you. Don't you understand? If I stay with you, then suspisions will rise," replied Katsu.
"Then just go. I should have never stayed with you!" yelled Arina as tears streamed down her face.
"You don't understand the danger we are both in!"
So which one did you like better? Probably the second one.
I may not be a grammar expert like my friend, but hey, no one is perfect. It's just that you need to at least consider your readers.
I received a review on my story Keeper Of The AllSpark, and it stated that the grammar was horrible. So now I'm revising my paper.
You want your story to at least be a 'Polished Rough Draft' as my English teacher says.
There is a motto that I want you to consider: Either readers can read it or no update.
So don't feel rushed about updating, no matter what all commenters say. Just take your time, make sure it's readable, and then go on and post.
I finished placing my gummy bears, and the next stage will be about (roll drumming) RELATIONSHIPS!!!!
ADIOUS!
