Posting Checklist
Here are my suggestions on what to do before you post something in the Literary Forums.
1. Have you critiqued at least two things by other people?
That's a forum rule. Don't worry, it's not hard. ^_^
2. Have you read through your entire story/poem at least once?
It's amazing how much one more read through can catch. If your work isn't full of little mistakes your critiques can focus on the important stuff.
> Is it entirely free of typos?
> Is it spellchecked?
3. Have you formatted your work?
It's really, really hard to read prose that's all in a bunch.
> Are your paragraphs frequent and double spaced?
> Does all your dialogue have a new paragraph?
> Are all your sentences a reasonable length, not extremely long?
4. Is your story/poem/other punctuated?
If you don't know how to punctuate, there are plenty of tips in the writing tips forum, here.
5. Are you posting things one at a time?
You'll get more critiques if you wait a few days between posting each new story/poem.
If you've done/are doing all that, you're ready to post! He're's a quick link to the Literary Forums. I hope this has been helpful.
