Punctuation Smunctuation. Can anyone help me?

Sep 17, 2009 08:11

I tend to struggle a bit with punctuation when writing, especially in dialogue. I just finished the first chapter of a new Twilight fic I'm writing and it's almost 7000 words, definitely the biggest chapter I've ever written. I submitted it to my favorite Twilight fanfic site but it was rejected strictly because of "Punctuation errors in and around ( Read more... )

Well hello you!

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond to you, life has been crazy.

anyway, I love for you to look through it when you have the time. It's really only the punctuation that I need help with, are you good at that? Because apparently I suck at it. LoL.

Are you a Twilight fan? I can't seem to remember...

Anyway, let me know when you have the time and were I can send it to.

xox

Hi there!!

Heh...I can completely understand...mine's been a bit hectic too, though I imagine for different reasons ;)

If you give me till the middle of next week before you send it, I should be able to look at it pretty quickly...I'll PM you with where you can email it to. And yep, punctuation is one of my strong points!! I'm not really a Twilight fan per se, but I don't mind it...and I love your work so I'm really happy to have a look see!! (I'm very glad you're still writing!!)

Best,

You're probably going to find this quite sad. I've had the final chapter of BITYN three quarters of the way finished for, like, EVER. I just cannot seem to write the last couple hundred words. I don't know why. Every time I sit down to finish it, the words just don't flow. It already contains the happy ending, I just don't know how to wrap it up, ya know?

But I'm going to keep trying. Cross your fingers for me. LoL.

I did get your PM with the email address and I'll be sending it soon!
