写作 Article: How to Avoid 写作 a Sentence Fragment

posted by IloveMyLord

Using correct grammar and sentence structure is vital if 你 want to convey your thoughts accurately. 你 also want your 写作 to hold the reader's attention. Nothing is 更多 annoying than 阅读 a manuscript littered with grammatical errors. The error of 写作 sentence fragments is a common error. Sentence fragments are incomplete sentences that don't express a complete thought.

tips:
1

Have a subject for every verb. The subject is the actor in the sentence. The verb is the action taken in a sentence.

2

Make sure all of your dependent clauses have a completing thought. An independent clause contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. A dependent clause may have a subject and verb, but it does not express a complete thought. Thus, dependent clauses need to be joined with an independent clause. Sentences that begin with after, when, because, before, since, etc., need a completing thought.

3

Proofread your writing. All writers benefit from proofreading. Make sure that each sentence makes sense when 你 read it back to yourself.

4

Read great literature. When 你 read great literature, 你 learn how master's of the craft write. 阅读 great literature also teaches 你 proper sentence structure and style. 由 knowing what good 写作 is, 你 will recognize the bad.

Evil, Darkness & Light

Did God Create Evil?

The 大学 professor challenged his students with this question:

"Did God create everything that exists?"

A student bravely replied, "Yes, he did!"

"God created everything?" The professor asked.

"Yes sir", the student replied.

The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are, then God is evil".

The student became quiet before such an answer.
The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once 更多 that the Christian faith was a...

Character Development!!!!

Although JP doesn't really describe his characters that much, he gives enough about Iggy to know he's blind, a pyro, and has 草莓 blonde hair!

Although JP doesn't really describe his characters that much, he gives enough about Iggy to know he's blind, a pyro, and has strawberry blonde hair!

So, we have the plot line and idea prepared. But what about the thing that makes it all come to life? The characters. This is a little 文章 on character development.

Appearence!

你 know the old saying, "Appearence is everything."? Well, it's not! But it IS important when writing. As 你 go along, think about what your character looks like. What's thier hair color? What kind of body type do they have. What's thier eye color. I'll admit i'm not a big 粉丝 of the "Hi. My name is _____ I have brown hair and blue eyes." What I do is describe the characters subtly. Like if one character describes...

你 and Me-Chapter 3

posted by Twilightluv3r

For the past three weeks Taylor and I haven't been getting along so well. All we do is argue about every little thing. Most of the time it's because we never have time to spend with each other.
He's still acting, but he's only getting small parts, so he thought he needed to practice his acting. It was so hard trying to be a bestfriend on his schedule, so we decided to distance ourselves, a little, for a week. The first two days were like hell. I did't want to talk to anyone except for Taylor. I would have talked to Amy, but she was sick.
But then everything turned around when Mark and I started...

ALONE

posted by odekanmi

I told someone once,
"You are alone".
The person refused to agree,
"Why?",
"What for?",
"Why should i be told I'm alone"
Those were the words most probably flowing through the fellas mind at the time,
Think of it,
Stop,
Take a deep breath,
Think again,
Who were 你 with the last second?,
You, yourself and you,right?,
Look around you,
Are 你 sure this is where 你 want to be?,
I look,
Right now,
And,you know what I see?,
No one.
Nada Nada person,
Well that's my own language, forget it.
There's no one there,
But I do what I do best,
Suffer in silence.

Dizzy:

As I weaved through the crowded hallways, I focussed on the rhythm of my footsteps. I was lost. It was as if I was a new student 或者 something. Now that Annabella was gone, the hallways made me dizzy with fear. When you're with your best friend, nothing matters. When 你 know you'll never see her again, not even a faint light of happiness appears at the end of the freight tunnel.
I'm still me, I reminded myself. But who was I? Before knew it, a bib of tears flooded down my chest. I hear red-headed Abigail whisper to Elisa. Faint words saying, 'They're actually crying?' I wished those...

或者 was someone threatening me? Signs of threats weren’t the ones I had.
Maybe just warnings.
    “Glorious, Have 你 ever, had signs before? 你 know, like something warning 你 not to go on 或者 go some place?” I asked myself. I shivered in the coldness of my room. I liked it cold.
    “I don’t understand you,” a voice rang to my left. There, in the middle of my doorway, stood Looi, my older brother. He was leaning on the door frame.
    “Hey, do 你 mind? I’m getting ready. Don’t 你 have your own bathroom?” I asked...

A poem; Humanly Mistakes

posted by InnocentNoMore

Feel like falling,
    but sure to stand fast.
Feel like letting go,
    but afraid of the rash,
Feel like giving up,
    but afraid to sleep,
Want to jump,
    but afraid to of falling off way to deep.
Sometimes life takes me in weird directions,
    but knowing me, its all imperfections.
Sometimes emotions 云, 云计算 every single thought,
    and knowing my actions, I’m here to rot.
Forever will my mistakes continue to haunt me,
    standing here, I now see.
What if things could be different 下一个 time?
    Would it then, take a lifetime?

Ripped Chapter One

posted by amethyst44

The one thing that never freaked me out before was when the teacher got mad at us, especially Mr. Donnahue. But watching him shred up each and every paper that he touched on that dumb 台, 办公桌 of his...well...it made me shiver a bit.
That's when I saw it; my paper, neatly written in my cursive writting, only with 粉, 粉色 gel pen instead of the standard pencil. Under my desk, I crossed my fingers, hoping, waiting, praying. I shut my eyes.
Then I heard it; riiiiiip.
I opened my eyes, blinking as I followed Mr. Donnahue's hands, which held my torn paper, throw the scraps over the edge and into the trash...

A Passage from my Manga; Naoko: Hero of the Seas

(Before 你 read this, remember that this character is a student at a sailing school, and can fly.)

I woke up. It was cloudy. The green sea went into ginormus waves the size of sharks. I went outside.
My 船, 小船 was shaking in the weather, and it was all wet. I sailed it anyways. I grabbed the steer, raised the anchor, and went out.
The sea was hard on me. The waves pulled my white, small, wooden 船, 小船 up and down the great seas. I felt great. I felt brave. I felt calm.
Rain started to fall down as the clouds got darker. It was amazing. The wind blew...

It was early morning the 下一个 day; Tristan had woken shortly before the sun, though he appeared quite different from the golden-haired blue eyed god Rosalie had seen: his hair was dark brown, his eyes a hazel color with a tad of green. “Today, I’m going to visit two of the ones I changed oh about seven, eight years ago. Then, we will head home, east through Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, then south to home. Sound good?”

Tristan nodded. “Very well. You’ll probably be back before we are.”...

由 then, the two had stopped fighting, though Alice was still fuming, not that Rosalie could really blame her. Once again, Alice was unsure what came next: half of her wanted to just run and run until she had left it all behind and the other wanted to stay though this was mostly to see what Rosalie meant 由 Jack meaning so much to her.
Tristan, Jack, Michael and David waited inside the carriage. Tristan was in no hurry and Jack would have jumped off and followed Rosalie in a second. That 吻乐队（Kiss） had sealed the deal and answered the 问题 that had plagued him so many years: had she...

She had silently placed a small bag at Rosalie’s feet and sat down 下一个 to her again.
