As you notice that was not really a question but a statement, and that is one thing that I have been learning to do. Puncuation is my worst grammer problem, as I tend to use " ' " after every " s", and I also tend to use "?" marks after every sentence that asks a question, even if the question is really just a statement. Did that make sense? But by writing and allowing other members to read and rate my work, I am slowly learning to either eliminate all puncuation , or to correct myself becoming a better and more clear writer. I have been practicing, so I thought I would also encourage all of you to take a look at your work, and decide if you could have used a comma here, or a different word, maybe even eliminating a word, and of course those little things I do believe are under the heading of "proofing" your stuff. If you are even remotely like me though, you just start writing in a feverious "is that a word?" state, and save it, going onto the next thing that spring's from the depth's of your creativity. And that my friends, is why I love Writing.Com. Because if I forget, a gentle reader will help me go back and fix it!!! Again, welcome to all of you, do not hesitate to ask a question, get some help, practice something new! Wind beneath your wings amawitch Highlighting Newbie BioBlocks Welcome to Writing.Com, Newbies.
