Hi there.

I read your first additions - The Fisherman. Excellent - your grammar is good and, although the plot is simple, it is quite well written.

A few comments for improvement:

~ Write cardinal numbers, for example: '2,' in words. So '1000' should be: 'one-thousand.'

~ When someone is thinking, don't use speech marks. Just add 'he thought' as a subordinate clause.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the input Torpeh.

I usually write thoughts in italics, which I can't do here so I put it in quotations for lack of any better ideas.

And for the life of me I can't figure out why I didn't write those numbers out in full as I usually do.

Ok, everything spoken is now in double speech marks, everything thought is in single quotations.

And going back and editing them I realise I have at least two story posts that are EXACTLY 2000 characters. I wonder how I pulled that off?

You spelled weird wrong :p

And yes, Journeys is my main project, though I've gotten in the habbit of adding my graded asignments from the Academy here, since they're short stories, and I put short stories here lol.

However, if I get any other ideas, I will add them here. But ya, not my main project at the moment.
