A Writer Who......
I am a writer who doesn't understand punctuation? Ever since I was in middle school, and we were doing, punctuation worksheets, I could never understand it. When I write an essay people tell me I write very long elaborate sentences that should be broken up because they are confusing for other people to read. Also commas haunt my dreams. When, do I use a comma how, do I use a comma and how often, do I use commas? The only punctuation I comprehend is exclamation points. They are my favorite! Punctuation and I still fight, that is why I am a writer who doesn't understand punctuation.

I find punctuation tricky as well. I laughed after I read this because I can totally relate to your situation! I love the "commas haunt my dreams." Haha!
ReplyDeleteI like how you show punctuation difficulty throughout this piece. And I promise that I can help you with commas. Come talk to me during tutorial sometime.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem with punctuation. It is the worst! Whenever I do use commas they are usually incorrect.
ReplyDeleteI agree Elizabeth! Punctuation wasn't that hard for me, except one thing! COMMAS! They were extremely hard! I always put commas in places that sounded like they needed one. Now that I think about it, they were in random places! However, over the years, I've gotten better! (Hopefully, I haven't put extra commas!)
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I have always been really good with punctuation. Seriously, when I'm thinking in my head, I subconsciously say the word, "COMMA." It's super weird! Anyway, if you ever need me to proof read a paper or whatever, that's fine with me.
