Tips, Tricks

Grammar is not your enemy. It helps people understand what you have to say. If you don’t follow proper grammar, people get can get confused and not understand what you are trying to say. Besides, it’s fun to break those grammar rules to make a point. If you follow proper grammar for most of your story and break a rule on purpose, then people are more likely to get your point and think you’re brilliant

Today as I was writing a sad scene, I started to cry. It reminded me of how I write emotionally charged scenes at times. Sometimes when I write I will stomp up and down and yell the dialogue (not too loud though) or pace as I speak the words my characters say. So, if stomping up and down your house helps you translate emotion into your text, go for it! Just be prepared to explain it to people who pass by. =)
