Work harder please

Hi Jose,

This is your webmaster. I really like your stories, and I'm anxious to see your upcoming ones.

I encourage submissions without requiring perfect grammar or spelling, but I am having to make extensive changes to correct virtually every line in your stories.

Please pay more attention to the use of quotation marks ( xxx. "yyy) instead of (xxx." yyy)

Watch your capitalization... I versus i and proper names, Zack not zack

Watch when one person speaks then a different person speaks. Finish one quote and start another like xxx." "Yyy." Note the capital Y.

Then spelling and the ever-confusing there, their, they're. These can cause a story to breakdown.

Please use a spell checker so we know you are trying. Study my pages regarding grammar and spelling etc. Go to the Site map for help. Read it and re-read it.

I know you are able to do better because your stories are fairly involved. Put your best foot forward. If you want to submit many stories that's wonderful, but I cannot be publishing my work (corrections) instead of yours (good work).

Overall, and this goes for everyone, your stories, will be on the web for a long, long time... give me your best efforts, please.
