The Art of Writing
By John Baker
Correct usage will help you're reader follow you're words. Misusing words will confuse the reader, and they're will be a problem.
Sellping is impotent. Mispelt words will disingage your reader, and interupt the flow of your work.
An importance in your words flow is Grammar.
Prepositions should not be used at the end of sentences, if this happens, your reader will lose the context of your sentence, and they will not know where they're at.
Substituting 'good' for 'well' will do you no well, and not serve you no good.
Punctuation will help give your work structure making it easier for the reader to understand the context of your sentences the order of events in storytelling and how your sentences break down.
Misusing or interchanging possessive "it's" and "its" can be confusing to your reader. Its a very common mistake.
The word 'it' is also tricky, if at no point in a sentence you attribute a noun to your 'it'.
Multiple uses of the word "it" is too non-specific and it will become unclear as to what it means, making it almost impossible to understand what it is and how to interpret it. Eventually, it will become so confusing that your reader will lose interest in it and stop reading it.
Misuse of apostrophe's is a common problem. This is something I learned at Sleuth's.
Double negatives are a stumbling block. I can't hardly believe that people make the mistake so frequently. using double negatives will prove that you don't know nothing about writing.
