Okay I just turned 19 and graduated from high school, I had a crappy english teacher who didn't teach grammer she started in the middle of the lessons which totally got me lost and I failed. You know how alot of people say they can't unerstand math? It's the same thing for me with Grammer, even though I love to write it's my passion i just don't get grammer it's like forign to me.
So when I post stories here I have made it my goal to find an editor before I post and I have found one, Thank you Night owl for taking the time in helping me out.
I don't think half of you know how hard it is to write a story that you really want to see it in writing.
First
1. You have your story line
2 your plot
3. character devolment (You have to plan there thoughts, there actions, there familes and friends etc..)
4. You have to have an imagination and think of something that's never been done before (Which is hard for me because all the stories I wanna write about have already been done before)
5. Like a fairytale you have to have some termoil in the story including a climax.
On top of all this brainstorming you need the grammer, spelling everything you'd expect from an english teacher.
One thing I can't stand is when a reviewer complains about small errors and then goes and reviews another saying "One thing I like about your story is you have perfect grammer and spelling, well done." But they say nothing about the story itself if they liked it or not.
Authors are taking the time out of there day to write a story for the enjoyment of doing so and for your entertainment, it sucks when you have no clue if people are enjoying the story or not so they know there not waisting there time doing it. When all you do is complain it brings you down and if you try to improve and they still complain well I don't know about you but it makes feel like nobody's enjoying the story so I just give up and write it for me.
All I ask is before you review a story don't head straight to the mistakes tell them what you think of it and if it's not an inconvience tell them the mistakes they did make in PRIVATE maybe through an email, because of course we need to hear what mistakes we've made so we can go back and fix them but do it in private please. That would be awesome!
