My writing normally has a lot of dialogue, because that's what I'm good at. <br /><br />Sadly, it appears to be a trade off. I have to work at description and the scenes between the dialogue. <br /><br />Thanks for the link - it helped me clear up a few of my own punctuation mistakes. :-)Jamie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05486427517423813962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425647508377193757.post-64575040776913330772009-05-06T06:16:00.000-07:002009-05-06T06:16:00.000-07:00LOL!

I'm constantly spelling out write instead! LOL! Which is sort of funny, when you consider I'm usually talking about the right way to write. LOL!

I wish that habit would go away after writing many works. The good thing is that I think it is easier to catch them with edits, the longer we write. :)Patricia S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16584628435706742701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425647508377193757.post-69943500114821019812009-04-30T22:52:00.000-07:002009-04-30T22:52:00.000-07:00I LOVE Grammar Girl!

Also, check out Rewrite Right! by Jan Venolia.<br /><br />My common mistakes? Pet words (don't we all have them?), lack of clarity (referring to something as "it" or "they" without reference to what "it" is or "they" are) and repetition.Dawn Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291423272908722351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425647508377193757.post-85026140841642898052008-10-24T16:25:00.000-07:002008-10-24T16:25:00.000-07:00:) Thank you so much.
