Noticing Newbies

Ashley, I won't lie to you. When I review, my main problem is with poor grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Maybe this is the frustrated teacher in me. Believe me when I tell you my reviews are meant in the friendliest way possible. Oh yes, I constantly harp on newcomers like you to always use a spell checker to catch as many errors as possible.

However, and it is a big however, my belief is to we all need to improve our writing in some way. After all these years, I'm still working on removing passive verbs and long, run-on sentences.

Please take that scary first step, Ashley, and post something in your portfolio. Learn from the helpful reviews and delete the rude ones. That's what I do.

Lastly, welcome to Writing.com. You really are among friends here.
