"aw jait, and I was hoping this could lead to so many things. The little house in the country, you mowing the lawn, me polishing the aspidistra. Perhaps a bbq on weekends. I am bereft.
ah well, I shall have to console myself with reading this fun story :)"
"Well, you caught me Jay Jay, I speak a little spanish, and yeah, you're definitely on the ball there. That babal-fish or whatever seems pretty accurate. Usually with short form sentences like that they are pretty accurate. So no worries man."
"I'm not sure of the Spanish here. Hopefully someone can confirm in the next hour, while I've got a chance to edit it...It should be a translation for "I love you. You are my everything. You are my beloved. I love you. I love you." I used babelfish.altavista.com Can anyone confirm or suggest a better translation?"
Great start to something big. You seem to have a knack for good ideas here, but you still have some work to do.
We all started there too, though, so don't get deflated about it. Things take time to accomplish properly and you or anyone, really needs to look over anything you write and say, is this correct. Am I seeing issues somewhere here?
You'll be able to see problems with structure if you read it allowed to yourself the way its written now. If you find yourself putting breaks in between a sentence, you should probably put a period there, and if you find yourself taking a breath before starting a new sentence its probably a new paragraph.
Granted this isn't a perfect practise, but its a good way to get started. The best way too is to take anyone's opinions and also see where they might put periods or commas, or a new paragraph. Generally when you see a pattern in what they're doing you'll pick up on it.
Doing great though so far, I like your ideas, just keep working at it and read everything over to yourself. You'll see what I mean!"

I have a better way to deal with mid-story deletions in-mind for down the road, but it's not quite ready to go live on the site yet. Apologies for the heavy-handedness for the time being."
"I'm sorry... I just couldn't resist the sing-song style of this story... It reminded me of a Dr. Seuss poem... and I just loved the idea of trying to tell a teenage romance in that form..."
"Hey Allie.. just a quick tip, but you should probably run posts through a quick spell-check before putting them up. I realize you're new here so just giving you a friendly tip as you get started.
If you're using Firefox, there should be a built-in spellcheck... if you're using Internet Explorer, you can just hit the spellcheck button on the text editor's toolbar.
