Learning grammar completely by ear.

[Grandpa Gohan]

Heh, I know all the basics, in 2nd grade, I had a 9th grade reading level, and looking back on it, now that I'm a senior in high school, I ask myself "wtf?!". As I know how much of the paper I read in the short ammount of time.

But I'm not gloating, I usually help my friends with their papers, as I can whip up a good english/social studies paper in the span of about 45min, if that.

As for the breaking down of what people tell you to work on, don't feel bad as I have to same problem. I learned to use a lot of description in my writing, and not neccisarily an inward look at the character I was portraying. So, when I do write, most of it is outward description(Thx Vegeta). I myself have difficulty applying stuff to my writing, the humor thing that I added in one of my lasts posts, it was completly random, but from what I hear, at least a few people besides myself got a chuckle out of it, and that makes me feel good.

The only advice I can offer, and I should take the same, apply yourself. Reread your work before you post it, type it to where you feel "I think this is good", and then let it sit for awhile(Props to Rad for the advice), come back to it and reread it again; Chances are, you will find something you overlooked. Correct it or whatever you wish, if your in a personal saga, maybe do it agian.

Hope that helps a little, if you need me to break that down or whatever, Ill try to. =)
