Hello Kylie
There are many threads in the Writer's Resources that may help you with punctuation and other editing issues including run-on sentences.
If you want more information. there are both books and websites available on style/grammar for writers which are helpful.
For a humourous look at all of this, I recommend a small book called "Eats, Shoots and Leaves".
As a mod who edits and verifies stories for this site, I thank you for persevering and asking for help before submitting your work.
I know that I have asked for this before but would like to renew the request for the ability to mark several messages at once to be put in particular files, just as we can to delete them. It would save a lot of time. Thanks, Gav.
Alphamagus and I posted a new Robert and Juliana story today. It is a little more adventurous than the preceding stories, so we hope you like it.
I would try therapy with another psychiatrist - one you relate to better. The other comment I can make is to acknowledge that there are some things that can never be fixed. You can make the decision to get on with your life and have that be the best life you can design for yourself. Perfection is not possible for you or anyone else, but the situations and people who damaged you cannot be allowed to impact the rest of your life.
Just do the best you can each day. It will get better with time and as the hurts fade into the past. They may never be entirely gone, but you can be happy again.
I dislike being called dear or honey by people who do not know me. Actually, I don't like dear from anyone.
In a general context, I hate when people use the word "like" constantly in their speech along with "goes" instead of "said", e.g. So he like goes to me......
Glorious sunshine - a perfect late summer day.
And, a new Robert and Juliana story will be posted shortly - recently finished by Alphamagus and me.

Bad boys hold their allure when you are young, feeding rebellion. When you realize how badly they treat you and you grow up, they lose their attraction. Give me the nice guy every time.
"What fresh hell is this?" (Phone calls, emails, catching up after time off. With credit to Dorothy Parker. It is her phrase, not mine.)
There are three:
Nothing is forever, so enjoy the good while it lasts, and when things are bad remind yourself that it will pass.
You do not always have to respond or show how smart you are. Sometimes the best thing you can do is just be quiet and listen. You learn so much that way.
A sense of humour will get you through almost anything.
I wonder if we could select a number of files at once to move to a particular file folder, just as we can select and delete. This is possible in each email program I have used, so I suspect Gav can figure it out. It would save a lot of time in dealing with messages en masse rather than individually.
Thanks in advance.
A private thank you would be the polite thing to do and appropriate. A public one might be too much to expect.
All of it. I hate it. It is lazy anywhere except in that context and I am not sure I like it even there.
