More Grammar, More Agony.

Today I've been doing more grammar on my book.  And I've come to a frightening encounter.

R.A.H.Thacker:

Meet your new arch nemesis:
That's right, comma splices.  They are so hard to detect, it's like looking for a crayfish in a school of sharks.  Yeah, that hard, maybe not that dangerous though.  Anyway!  I just wanted to tell you to be ware of comma splices in your own writings!  Look out!

In my last (and first) comment to you, I gave you the wrong website address. Corrected, it is "supernovatwilight.roxer.com. I now digress. Not to be discouraging, but I have noticed many comma errors in your posts. Although I have not read all your posts yet, (I plan to) meaning that I don't know if you have obtained better grammar yet, I will post one example. After this example, I will again post it, that time with corrections. I hope these help you in your writing. By the way, I agree and very much like your ideas in your posts!

Maybe to start writing you need sometime away from the crazy world. Time to relax and think. Maybe, or you could just write anywhere from the park or your office, but I suggest shutting the door, distractions can really mess up your writing, especially your beginnings or writings. Beginning a writing, whether it would be a novel or just a short short story, is hard because you can easily lack direction, that's what I found out in writing my first novel. And if you do continue writing, it will be much harder because you have to re-write a lot more. But if you lack direction at first then you can easily be discouraged, I was. But then I started to re-write, and once I finished the second draft I could see my whole writing was significantly improved. So you see that when you are writing from the beginning it is good to have some direction already in mind.

There is a slight chance that some of my corrections are incorrect, but I don't think so.

Cool website! :D

Also, about grammar; I shall try to improve upon it. I'll hopefully do better in the future, as I know what you mean, it's hard to read whenever there are a lot of mistakes in something.

Again, sorry if I sound discouraging or something. Other than that, I love your writing. I hope you and your family are doing well.
