Comment on Correcting People’s Grammar by Cassandra

Cassandra — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:33:03 +0000

My boyfriend and I got into a fight last night about my habit of correcting his (and anyone else’s) grammar and usage mistakes. I appreciate when someone tells me I am pronouncing a word incorrectly or if I make a spelling error, and my mother corrected me also. I know it’s a nasty trait and I would like to stop, but I don’t know how to change my perspective and behavior. Suggestions greatly appreciated!

Between me and my wife we would have to say this is an extremely informative post that deserves mentioning elsewhere. This review is for 2 types of people: current writers who are considering a new career, and people trying to decide becoming a writer.

I’m doing NaBloPoMo, but not NaNoWriMo, this is definitely something I will prepare for next year. I’d love to read some people’s novels, but I don’t know how I’d go about doing that, other than asking people, which I think is almost as bad as asking how much someone weighs.

You know I am.

It’s going well for now. I expect ups and downs. I expect to not want to write some days, but I do it anyway. I know how disappointed I was in myself the last two years when I didn’t make 50′000 words (I gave up), and I want the opposite this year. I want to be proud of myself.

I agree with ryan and dissapointed, what the fucks the big deal with writing in text/internet speech. Those who say that its a degrading our language and lowering our intelligence, are you being serious? the english language has always been changing. Do you think not using such words puts you in a ‘higher’ culture then others? its so silly, you people make me LOL.

Comment on Discussion Question: Do you plan to write a novel? by Trish

I have been trying for the past year to get my first novel on paper. It’s incredibly complicated and the deeper I go into the world and it’s characters the more complicated it gets. Still, I have fallen in love with that story. It has such a hold on my mind that I will not get any peace until it’s on paper.

I wonder if its that way for other twenty somethings?

I have just started writing more of a memoir of sorts from my past 6 month trip to Ireland/ backpacking across Europe. I want to make it into a book, but I’ve never really done anything more than writing essays for academic purposes. I have a lot of good stories, but Im having trouble describing them in a clear, discriptive fashion and forming it into an interesting plot. Any suggestions?
