Hello.
I am looking for some help in the form of proof reading my first ever attempt of a story.
It has been rejected for having too many run-ons and i would like some help to break the run-on so that i can be published.
If you would like to help me please send me a message.
Many thanks in advance.

If you're writing it using Microsoft Word, I strongly suggest you use spell check as it will not only check for spelling errors, but run-ons and other errors as well.
Rule of thumb - one idea per sentence. That one idea may be made up of a string of two, three or maybe four associated actions, but the key word there is associated. In general shorter sentences are easier to read so don't think you need to make your sentences longer for them to be better. (There's a cock joke in there somewhere).
Send me an excerpt, if you like, and I'll take a look.
i understand your pain. i've had three stories rejected. One, i understand ... too violent. The other two ... debatable. i have, of late, restructured my writing style, but i honestly hate it. i want to write about what i am into. i am in no way vanilla (for the layperson that is normal or average sex life, non-BDSM). i came to Lush to share my creativity and have hit a wall, it seems. Are there any moderators who are familiar with BDSM etiquette? i would hope i am not alone, but if i am, i will stand by myself. Every voice should be heard.
