dream_beyond, now that I have edited my recent book review (for context on why I'm saying this, let's hope my reply to your comment came through), please re-read it, as it is now accurate to how I actually write, thank you.

Ohh, ok, thanks!
Yep!!
Fun Fact: Red is the first color a baby sees.
Huh, I did not know that! What I saw as a baby is long forgotten.... But thanks for the fact!
fun fact: Disneyland serves 2.8 million churros a year. like the comment for more fun facts
That's so fun!
I can imagine! Churros are pretty darn good!
If only the sugar stayed with the churro and didn't always stick to your lips xD
Oh my! XD
That's true! Come to think about it, they're somewhat like youtiaos (chinese doughnut sticks).
Oh yes, those are gooood! Very crunchy and oily!
I've never had one, but now I want one.
Helloo! I have a question directed to anyone and everyone! My writing and punctuation skills are in dire need of help, any tips and tricks? Recently, I read @doggiechristmas's book review for "Pegasus: The Flame Of Olympus", and I was beyond impressed (I wouldn't have been able to fashion something close to that)! I'm eager to hear from y'all! ~dream_beyond
I was in a rush, so I couldn't edit it myself, I've edited, so now it's how I edit. But thank you! Tips, are to try to keep it formal, but not to formal, and try to use semicolons, along with re-reading your review after, to change it to something that will sound better.
I was in a rush and had AI edit it, but otherwise I edit it myself, and I've updated it now, to how I actually edit. For tips, read through it, after you've said what you want to say, remove any extra commas, fix any incorrect grammar, and for short, related phrases/sentences (you can't use a semicolon to connect a phrase and a sentence, that would be incorrect, it's one or the other), try to use 'bigger words,' but be careful, you don't want to always sound bussiness-like, if you can remember exactly what someone said, and it's relavent to your review, try to quote them, if you have a word that you have repeated multiple times, espicially very closely, open MW Thesaures, use descriptions, use personal and impersonal words (personal creating a closeness; impersonal creating objectivity), use time-and-sequeance words, for numbers greater than ninety-nine, use the actual numbers, while for numbers less than 100, use the actual words, plus a dash, hence the dash in ninety-nine, double-check your spelling, make sure to use dashes in the correct places, and think through what you want to say, before you start typing.
Just an explanation on the whole number thing, in school papers—like college/university papers—that's how you properly write in them. Also, try to keep sentences from getting run together, like they were in that reply.
Thank you so so much!! Much appreciated!!
Yes!! Sorry for the repeat!! It took a week for them to come through....
I totally understand; it's a pain...
1. Read a lot of books to expand your vocabulary and sentence structures 2. Follow the classic writing tip: "Tell them what you're going to tell me, tell them, tell them what you told them" 3. Just have fun! Follow your own writing styles! I hope this helps!
Thank youuu!
You're welcome and good luck!
I know this is a little late, but it sounds like all of your last days of school are so early 😭. My summer break doesn’t start until halfway through June :| .
You'll get there!!
Mine starts in July! :P
Yup that's Taiwan schools (although we do get almost a month off for Lunar New Year :))
I can only say, you are in luck, my summer break starts mid july ToT And next year is even later, sometime in august! I wouldn't even call it summer break anymore... Hang in there, it'll come before you know it!
Oh wow, that’s crazy!
Yikes, August?!
Apparently so
