YES!
And Chelsea...
"Do's"...
It doesn't need an apostrophe.

On a more serious note, keep checking back to the original post. It's bound to be constantly updated as we think of more pointers for you to consider.

Aye, indeed.
I thought of another earlier, but, as I do, have forgotten it.

I mean, I knew about the whole plurals versus ownership thing.
Typing the word "dos" sounds like I'm speaking in Spanish.
Google search and my writing program keep correcting it.
Is it possibly a preference?
Ah, well, it's just a video.

I really like this guide.
It made me realize that some things in my story are, indeed, incorrect or misinterpreted.
This definately makes me want to go back and revise my grammar and spelling.
Kudos to both of you!!!

Sarah!

Hahaha, Chelsea, that was wicked funny. xDD
I loved it! x)

One thing that also annoys me is that when a character is introduced, there is a full paragraph right afterwards saying something along the lines of:

Chelsea is 18 years old. She has a lip ring. She put on her black ripped jeans and worn out converses, her favorite black shirt, and her lucky hoodie. She put on heavy black eyeliner and brushed her black hair with pink streaks. She has a sister named Mary and Mary is 16. She has red hair blah blah blah blah blah.

How to fix this:
Space out your descriptions of the character. It's not really important to know what they're wearing every moment of the day. You could get -insert band member here- to compliment something, like their shirt or something to get sort of a feel of what their wearing. We'll eventually find out their background story but don't just shove it into one paragraph.

Haha thank you !

Wow.
This was a really good idea.
Except now I feel like I should go back and change everything.

..Not really. But yeah, I definitely could improve my fanfics ten times more. I feel like mine fall under the overuse of the same plot line. :/

Too late to change it now. At least I plan on finishing all of them!

Thanks, girls. I'll most likely look back to this when I start a new fanfiction. It really helps.

P.S. Chelsea: Cute Video. I learned from that as well.
