I've dabbled in fiction writing. It is good to spell check and grammar check as you go, any time you reach a stopping point, look back over what you just wrote before you save and quit for the day.The only other thing I can suggest is to watch out for inconsistencies. Sometimes I would get carried away in a description of someone or a back story and say something about them that contradicts what I said when we first met them.

Writing is a great way to express yourself, and is a lot of fun.

I respect anyone willing to post their writing in an open forum; so please note that permission to critique is implied.

Forum postings should be subjected to reasonable levels a grammar/spelling scrutiny. Blatant errors take away from the poster's message, but they are informal, and are due some leeway.

Actual, literary compositions are fair game, though. Creative license is allowed for personal style... but poor sentence structure and incorrect punctuation can be rightfully picked to pieces (and will be).
