Re: Re: Your Weakest Link Mechanically?
Okay, since I still struggle to grasp comma splices, I probably got that one too. Now because I've had quite the history with run-on sentences myself, here is the advice a young friend had six years ago that helped me a lot. "One thought per sentence; one topic per paragraph." Not sure why, but that simple piece of advice resolved (mostly) a thirty year writing problem for me. May it help you some.

Now now now, no getting into top Three weaknesses, because then I have to get into what my writing group calls my "story creep" problems >_> Which by the way I decided to do something about by venturing into novels. Which could literally end up magnifying the problem by an order of magnitude, ahahaha >_>
