HEY - Writers out THERE!!

PLEASE, please DO write and post more blogs here and keep this site 1/2 interesting.
Here are some simply overlooked writing hints:

The Basics

Follow these few basic rules and you will cut out 60% — 75% of your errors that make your perfectly good writing scream "He's a dumb ass."

Spell check! Every computer has one. So use it!

Some words are not picked up by spell check. You just have to use a dictionary once in a while. Forget about the so-called 'accepted usage'. Accepted usage is a lazy person's way of refusing to accept responsibility for their writing, or for proper grammar.

These are directly from SOL stories. I Swear!

The words their, they're, there. These are VERY frequently misused in our stories.
There - An adverb meaning "at that place" or "to that — As in, "OK missy, take your tiny little tail over there and get ready to get your box reamed.
Their — A pronoun not including you or the speaker. — As in, "They were identical twins, but their labia looked different in the bright lights."
They're — A contraction of they are. - As in, "Please lie down. They're going to screw your brains out now.
In summary:
Their bed is over there, and they're going to use it!

When you stopped you ceased — not seized.

Write out numbers under 100. Thirty-six — not 36.

When her twat is tight you don't get stuck in a vice. It's a vise. The vice is screwing in the first place.

Her heels punched out your k**neys while you did it. Heals is what a doctor does.

"Then" is defined as "immediately or soon afterward" - "Than" is the word you want when doing comparisons. But if you are talking about time, choose "then" — As in: "At first he decided Jill's quiff was prettier than Beverly's, but then he changed his mind."

If you are using dye to change your favorite T-shirt from white to blue you are dyeing it; but if you don't breathe for so long that your face turns blue, you may be dying.

Sit vs. set — sit your ass down - set the tray down.

Lightening vs. lightning - Lightening means to reduce the weight. Lightning is a flash in the sky.

There is never ever a usage for the word ANYWAYS. It is not only improper; there is NO such word.

Just so you never forget: There is never ever a usage for the word ANYWAYS. It is not only improper, there is NO such word.

Your vs. You're ... Your is showing ownership, as opposed to you're — the contraction of you are.
As in: You're going to have to give me your virginity tonight.

Bear vs. bare: as in: losing her was too much for him to bear. Or - Lookie Momma! She's bare nekk** out chonder! - While we're at it — it's Teddy bear not teddy beer.

You shuttered the house in case the tornado came. You shuddered when she touched your ding-dong.

Let's put this one to rest one final time. DISRESPECT IS A NOUN. It is not a verb. You show disrespect. YOU DO NOT DISRESPECT SOMEONE. I don't care how often you've heard it, where you've seen it written, or what the asshole at the office told you. This is a no brainer. Spoken or written it is grammatically incorrect when used as a verb! Always.

You scream until you are hoarse. You saddle up and ride a horse.

To allude is to hint or suggest. To elude is to escape.

Assure vs. ensure vs. insure - Assure is give confidence to someone or assurances that something is true. Ensure is to make certain something will occur. Insure is to make a financial guarantee.

Everyday vs. every day - If every- is used as a prefix, the meaning shifts to "common" or "average" instead of the adverbial every as in "all" of something.
Though she just had an everyday twat, he ate it every day.

Flounder vs. founder - Flounder means to struggle, founder means to sink or fail.

Irregardless — No such word. No accepted usage. This is a totally a dumb-ass word.

Grisly vs. grizzly, Grizzly means gray in color, and is a type of grayish bear. Grisly is "horrible or gruesome" sights. As in: The grizzly bear attack resulted in a grisly scene.

Shoestring - One word!



Hung vs. hanged - Hanged is proper for executions. Items are hung - people are hanged. As in: They took the well hung vagabond out and hanged him.

What ever vs. whatever - Use what ever in questions, whatever in other instances.
"What ever are you doing?" she demanded.
"Whatever I wish," he replied.

Petite - Petite refers to height, not a complete smallness. You don't have petite breasts.

Ph.D. - The correct form for a Doctor of Philosophy degree's abbreviation.

Unhuman vs. inhuman — Unhuman is possessing no human traits, as opposed to inhuman, which means cruel.

High quality - Items have quality, or they do not. Don't use modifiers, such as high or low.

Immoral - Immoral means contrary to accepted standards. Amoral and unmoral mean without regard to moral standards. Actions are immoral, people are amoral.

word-of-mouth - Always hyphenate, as a noun or adjective.

This is nowhere close to being all of the common errors. They are the most common I have found though.

Good luck, good writing, and may your keyboard not glue up.

I have only started writing my posts. I'm not very good at it, but learning how to explain my history and present submissive life in a more dramatic form. I'm sure most of it would be terribly boring to you. I only have a high school education, but I am terrific at fellatio

till Six_gun : One of the Best Stories [now removed] I read had one of the people in it was mentally challenged, but the dialog was very easy to read and follow, tho the Grammar program would have given it fits and try to fix all of it. [sometimes 'stupidity' needs to be on display to get your point across]

till Six_gun : NOPE > Hardly, I do have a Grammar Program, and every single blog that I have pulled and saved on here into that program comes back with 'errors'

BUT, that does not mean that you can't write a decent tale with some strange accents in them: "Y"ALL"

till phillymark1 : Ya think so? I have a program for that and none of the ones I have found on here is 100% the King's English and shows me the things needed to be fixed, but the best way is to use the Narrator in FireFox for the ultimate in handsfree Proofreading

A basic understanding of the English language and it's grammer rules should be a prerequisite for posting here.

I DO have a Grammar program I use -- BUT some booboos miss the mark, and that is where the Narrator cums in for the final read-thru
