Talk:My problem with girls

Hmm...

Not much to say, but Put comments here seems kind of mechanic...

So yeah please comment.

Please??

Don't feel too put off if no one comments. I got about three maybe even four storys in when I was just starting before I even got a single email.

What I will say though is that theirs not really any meat on these bones. What I mean by that is theirs not a whole lot to comment on besides basic grammar and spelling.

We had won. Barely.

We had won, barely.

Later after dinner I decided I would get Lace

Later I decided

or

After dinner I decided

would work better and look less cluttered

Lacey came running into my room. She held up my spider.

When you use two sentences like you did here its supposed to be describing two events of note but the way it is writen it could be put as just a single sentence.

Lacey came running into my room holding up my spider.

I'm also noting a lot of use of the the word 'then'. Its nothing really major but listen to these two sentences.

Scott left. Then I waited. A few minutes later I got out and did the deed. All that was left was to wait and then go to lyods house.

After Scott left I waited a few minutes. I got out and did the deed. all that was left now was to wait before going to lyods house.

A lot of these sentences can be merged together to form single more fluid sentences. Try saying them out loud when you write them.

Other than that not a whole lot I can tell yah, besides that commentary is good but nowhere near as helpful as plain old practice.

Oh and if you REALLY want commentary another trick I learned is to to go to great lengths to comment on and edit other peoples stuff in order to guilt trip them into doing the same for you*joking!*. XD
