Wow I didn't expect a reply, especially so quickly. Thanks Yamu for the advice. =D
And yes it was very helpful.
Description has always been what I consider to be my biggest flaw. When I first joined I wasn't putting enough detail into a post and now I seem to be putting in too much. I'm trying to find a medium between the two, but I think it's something that will only come with time and practise.
I seriously did not know you were supposed to capitalize speech even if it wasn't at the start of a sentence. Thanks, I'll make sure to work on that.
If anyone else would be so kind to shed some light on where I'm going wrong and what not, it would be greatly appreciated.

Quote:Originally posted by Yamu The major grammatical flaw I found was the lack of capitalization at the beginning of spoken word. When ever you started dialogue not at the beginning of a paragraph you usually left the first word lower-case instead of capitalizing it.
