I appreciate this. like a lot.
thanks for sharing "guides" in writing a good story and in becoming a good author :)

You go!

Thank you for writing this! I believe it will make mine as well as many other stories better written! :)

AMEN!

Thank you for writing this. I hope it spreads awareness and self-reflection to our fellow writers. I think I might be guilty with one or two or more of these. Toodles!

I think this is the most accurate rant on anything accurate ever in the history of accuracy. In all seriousness, you've pretty much taken all of my pet peeves and put them into a wonderful commentary. I swear, I see this not only on Fictionpress, but Fanfiction all the time. It's really sad. Really.

THANK YOU. This was refreshing and funny and so very true.

Thank you! Thank you so much. I could not have said it any better myself.

I laughed and was inwardly prideful that I don't make these mistakes and haven't made most of them since I was in elementary school. That said, how does one tie their shoelaces both quickly AND lazily?

This will help me a lot in the future. Thanking for ranting. :)

Haha, this is a pretty astute guide. I cracked up reading some of those examples :)
You're absolutely right about the reviewing part; sometimes it feels like there's only a point to reviewing if you know the author will see the review, and pretty much the only way to know that is if the author shows some signs of life!

I love you. You have a low opinion of men, but who cares? You are my new idol. Thank you so, so much.

This actually helped me. I'll keep it in mind. :)

Oh my god. THANL YOU! I've realised that I should read over my work at least 3 times. :) This was also very amusing to read.

If half the stories on FictionPress were as engaging and hilarious as your commentary ON these stories, why, the world would be a better place. (Though of course my world involves a lot of sub-par internet writing.)

Truly though, this is great! YOU are great.

Well are romance novels the olnly type of stories on earth?
