I understand that grammar is not everyones cup of tea. So if you are going to write a story and you hope that people will read it, edit your story or get someone to proofread your creation. I have had enough of the lazy and lame excuses of "I didn't edit my story. I just had to update." That's bull. If a subscriber has to ask the author if this character is a man or woman, because author is not reading over their work and then tells you "You must be confused." Yeah cause author you have just confused me. I am tired of reading these poorly grammared stories. If you can't spell don't write a story. We have all been to grade school to spell and I am not referring to writers from other countries even though you all should get a beta reader for your stories too. I see it like this if you can spell "" or "" well, then you should be able to spell and know the difference between heal and heel. Waste and waist. Come on writers raise the bar on your stories by editing the story, letting someone you trust to proofread, a dictionary with a thesaurus or use spellcheck if you have WORD or Google docs.

Heal= a term used to rid someone of a sickness. Cure to all ailments. Ex. "She can heal the sick."

Heel= the back of the foot. Ex. "I bought a pair of Manolo Blahnik heels."  "I am head over heels in love with her."

Waste= whatever is left that is no longer edible, usable etc. "Please put the carton in the wastebasket."

Waist... need I say more???

I am ranting about this because I look forward to reading the stories that have piqued my interest. A story that could possibly receive an upvote from me. A story that I can refer to someone else to read. But simple grammar is the requirement. All you subscribers that read these stories need to say something about it. It's like getting that chocolate pie that Octavia Spencer made in that movie "The Help" that her clients loved and then come to find that it has in it. 

I am only saying this with tough love.

XOXO ~ oceans of it.
