Many are having problems giving critique properly. Many don’t know how to spot the errors, or how to tell the writer, without being too harsh. This guide is the more serious one that will give you a few hints on how to do these things. This guide may be used by anyone and I take no copyright in this work. It is advisable to ensure the following errors are avoided, so have a read-through your story before publishing.
This will also include a short on ‘how to give the comment’ too. I want to ensure you are never afraid to give critique, as it is very useful for the writer to learn of the mistakes. At the same time, it is always nice to see the work in a better shape, instead of having to read the same errors as the one before. Writing correctly will ensure that your message will be delivered correctly without confusion, obviously enough.
As of the new structure, I have several parts to this piece. Since I expanded it so much, I’ve divided it up into:
BASE
Words
I
Their – They’re – There
Your – You’re
To – Too
It’s – Its
Were – We’re – Where
Effect – Affect
Who – Whom
Bare – Bear
Here – Hear – Hare
Then – Than
Lie – Lay – Lie
Adverse – Averse
Lose – Loose
Symbols
commas (,)
semi-colons (;)
period (.)
ellipsis (…)
dash-hyphen (– -)
"speech" symbols (" ')
apostrophe (‘)
brackets ( ) [ ] { } .
Miscellanous
splitwords
abbreviations
long sentences
conjunction words
fragment sentences
paragraphs
giving the comment
rereading.
Prepositions
American/British
IN PROGRESS
This part will serve as the “base” to the rest, for introduction as well as reference to the rest.
I think I’ve mentioned the most basic things in here so thank you for taking your time on this; I really hope “life on Booksie” will be easier for us all in the future.
Good day, happy writing and happy editing.
