booksie

posted part of my short story on a blog and someone actually liked it! im incredibly happy :) no-one that doesnt know me has ever really read my stuff, so i never really get an honest opinion, except from teachers (but i never really listened when they said its good). so the fact that someone genuinly liked my story makes me really happy. he left me a comment that made me smile all goofy like :P im really not used to compliments and i normally dont receive them well, but this guy was just so nice, and hes an amazing writer too. http://www.booksie.com/Tangible_Word_  check him out if you get a chance. his stuff is on a totally different level than my own :) this site is fantastic for young writers or people just looking to read good stories. well, thats my psa for the day. have a good one! <3

writing

I've noticed when reading someones stories i find the mistakes they are making are similar to those that i make, though i hadn't realized it until looking at their writing. has that happened to you guys? I've also noticed that I tend to repeat some mistakes that I've been making for years. I wonder if that's because I was never corrected on them in middle school, where we were supposed to learn the basics. I'm sure you've noticed I tend to write run-on sentences, ones that sometimes are as large as a paragraph. I really need to work on that... another of the things i tend to mess up is punctuation. i never know whether it's a semi colon or a colon that is used, though most of the time i just use the semi colon :P and of course, who can forget spelling, grammar and sentence structure? the worst feeling is spelling a word right only to think you've spelled it wrong. why must the English language be so confusing?
