Now that I understand it can be not only unwelcome, but downright annoying, I will cease and desist!
I hope my comments didn't leave this general impression, but if they did I want to clarify and apologize, Vicki.
I love to tell a story, plain and simple. But I suffer from Comma Placement Syndrome (there is no cure, the harder I think about it, the worse it gets), readers could cut themselves on my jagged sentence fragments, and Wendy won't BR for me because of my ellipse dependency.
Therefore, a close, grammatical reading of my stuff would no doubt turn up a treasure trove of sins. That's fair, and I'm open to being corrected, absolutely.
What I wouldn't want to see, not in mine or in anyone else's feedback, would be comments that focused
more on grammar than on story.
I hope I didn't hurt your feelings, or make you feel unwelcome. I'm speaking entirely from my own insecurities, especially when I read this thread and see how many on here consider themselves picky!
