Well I just finished my short story. I'm sure it's better than last semesters. I'm actually aware of different things when I right now. I I'm aware of certain words that didn't need to be there. When you talk sometimes you say things that when you say them sound okay but when they are written ..don't communicate well. And I fixed many of those things. This short story wasn't as tedious as the last one. It wasn't as painful. To write. The editing process seemed easier. It was fun. I've paid attention to the to be verbs...& found my mistakes. Also try to stay consistent with the tenses. I tried to make sure every sentence verb ,adverb.... wise... was in the right tense... it was congruent with the rest of the story. I'm sure in the real world there are editors that deal with all the little stuff. But there was questions where to put commas and periods grammar wise. I would do it a couple different ways and the Microsoft Word spell checker did not help. So I'm not sure when you write dialogue if you put a period After he said ....or you put a comma After he said ...and then a dialogue. Anyway it seems to be getting easier the more I write. So I will keep riding more.
