Curses 101 page 2

*sighs in total frustration* I've often heard it said that an artist is his/her own worst critic. At the rate I'm going however, I'll be labelled mentally insane before my critical side ever has the chance to be satisfied. Literally driving myself crazy it seems.
I can't stop myself from going back over pages, that incidentally I just upgraded and finding… yes, more mistakes. Nothing major. Just little things here and there. A typo. An omitted detail. Dropped dailogue… Grrrrrrr…. I so need an editor!
This is why I have a great deal of respect for the skills of writers such as Dust traveler, Ronson and Chris Brudlos.
First off, cuz I ain't got any (and yes that was deliberate). I can't spell. I haven't a clue when it comes to proper sentence structures. What the hell is a dangling participle? I dunno, heard that phrase in a movie years ago.
My comedic delivery is cheesy at best.
Ohhhh help me please!
Hmmmmm… Sorry I didn't mean to go off on my little tangent but I was in desperate need of venting. Not just about my whimpy-ass skills as a writer but my total lack of time to do anything other than work. Which is more than likely the reason I keep making all sorts of “little” mistakes like the fore-mentioned.
I guess rather than whinning on DD about my short-comings I should just do something about it, eh?
Anyone know any good remedial writng websites? Knowing myself I think starting with something elementary than working my way up is probably my best bet.
Do'h … I'll google it!
Ughhhhhhh!!! I have no time! Please… *sob* someone help me.

*screams* OHMYGAWD! Zoe! You're still here too! That's wonderful. I was gone for so long and with all the new changes to DD as well as new members I didnt think I'd find any of the old crew still hanging about. This is great! Bah you dont owe me anything. So long as you're still doing EB... all is good. :D Thanks Nekko ... I'm just being a whiner. However this doesn't change that fact that I do in fact suck at writing. ;P
