Ah...I need more caffeine.
So, I'm not quite sure why this has been happening in stories I pick up lately. I know some languages don't use periods in their punctuation so maybe that's it. But if you're writing in English, it's a very basic rule. Periods go at the end of sentences NOT COMMAS.
There's nothing like reading a story and it's just one big compound-complex sentence with one full thought thrown together after another, and there is no real way to pace because, well, there is just one comma after another comma, until the end of the chapter, when several sentences could have had full stops, but no, you chose to join the shit together into one convoluted series of paragraphs and then you throw in dialogue between Chrissy and Jake, "Like why would you do that," Jake has no idea either and shrugs.
It's almost as bad as having NO periods.
