shanda lee: So confused when I was taught "writing" I was told to use commas after words like (and,but,as well as,however,etc.) also use commas after a persons name.I have been told on here to add an extra space after commas, and when you are separating two ideas that run from the same topic. I don't mind getting criticized, but I am confused when I get different feedback from people in how I should use my punctuation placement.Almost seems like everyone is on different pages... |

I can imagine a sentence where I would use a comma after "and", eg, She leapt in the car and, with one final look at the old house, hit the accelerator. I'm sure Red's recommendation is good. There are also lots of useful articles on the internet if you simply google "use of commas". - | ||

shanda lee: A little advice to those who do reviews, reviews are based upon how well written,if the writer painted a clear image, if the writer displayed their thoughts in a comprehensive manner, and so on. Reviewers should not be rating pieces ( and low balling writers ) simply because they do not like the topic.Your judgement should be on how well the interpretation was understood from the nature of the writers piece.If you do not like the topic another writer has chosen then please just skip their work,rather than low ball it without some "constructive criticism". |
||
I feel that we have people's precious lives in our hands when we review and we should be careful - | ||
| ||
|
shanda lee: If a person gives you are bad rating simply because they did not like the subject that was of no interest to them, then why low ball it..Just skip it and move on.If a piece I wrote needed improvements and that to me is a valid reason that I could accept that,but to rate because you don't like what I wrote about seems to be quite unfair. |
||
If the reviewer was from a 'standard' member, those are non-dues-paying members, and sometimes they're drive-bys. If you don't want standard members to review your work, you can block them in 'advanced options' when you post. - | ||

shanda lee: Some people are just Inspirational through the tragedies, and life experiences they have endured. I have met two people so far from FanStory who are Inspirational. Their stories really have opened my eyes a lot, and have much empathy for what they have had to endure in this crazy thing we all call "Life". I wish them nothing but happiness, and peace within themselves. |

shanda lee: Thank- you to those who have reviewed,rated, and commented on my poems. My main focus in writing is Poems of all kinds,I am currently in the midst of writing two books, one non-fiction, and the other is fiction. I am looking forward to seeing all your feedback on anything I do submit on this site. Also, when I rate, and review others work I am looking for how they get their point across to the readers, if their title coincides with their outcome of what they have wrote. I do try to judge fairly on reviews. |
