RE: The Ink Well Prompt #74 - Plus Weekly Challenge and Prize Announcement

in The Ink Well2 years ago

Hello @cool08,
I am hoping you mean that you don't want us to micromanage your stories. I personally (and when I comment as Inkwell) don't see that as my function. Sometimes if I think a writer can benefit from technical advice about structure, or POV, I will try to help out. However, mostly we don't correct grammar. Perhaps one or two words in a story that otherwise is intact.

Many of our writers are new to the English language. Many use translators. It wouldn't be practical to try and correct usage and grammar in such situations. So, besides making general suggestions, and offering one or two tips, I will comment on readability, coherence, adherence to prompt/skill, and overall engagement value.

I hope this addresses your concern. We value your participation and interest. Looking forward to your 'lost' post this week.

Thanks for your keen explanations.
