I broke even! · 7:56pm Sep 13th, 2016
After making some edits and taking in the criticism and advice this community offered to me, the like bar is even, and some favorites! even if I have done it a thousand times already. But this doesn't mean I won't keep an eye out for any more mistakes I will make, in fact, I submitted chapter 1 to a proof reading group to ensure I get any errors, and I'm sure the people in the comments will be vigilant too.
Just goes to show that even a little editing can make a huge difference, be open to critiques and it will help.
It might not seem like it but consciously correcting your spelling and grammar when not writing a story will help your writing. A lot. If you don't care about your grammar, capitalization, and punctuation while texting or blogging, then your actual writing will take a hit. The converse is also true.

I'll keep that in mind and break that habit of casualness. Thank you.
