Sorry I took so long. I was busy with studying and writing for my other account.

Anyway, if there is one thing I would like to stress, it's the importance of proper grammar. Now, I understand minor typos and not being a fluent English speaker, but too much improper grammar can distract from the story. Here are some tips.

1. Please, I beg of you, do not write in text speak. It's very distracting, and some of us cannot decipher it.

2. Avoid run-on sentences.

3. Use commas. A comma can change the meaning of a sentence. There is a big difference between "Let's eat, Grandma." and "Let's eat Grandma."

4. Create a new paragraph each time another person starts to speak. Not only will it avoid confusion as to who is speaking, it will make your story much easier to read.

5. Reread your story and check for mistakes. You can also have someone else check your work and see if you missed anything. Trust me, this will help you a lot.
