Yay for Christmas story! I think?
Wow. What an impressively long and well worded sentence-turned-paragraph.
Let's cut this up shall we?
'Breathtakingly laced white snowflakes, merry old fake Santa's and melodious beats of joyful holiday tunes. They should've equalled a wonderful, truly merry holidy extravaganza for any Average Joe Schmoes.
No comma
So this girl/guy says X-mas not Christ-mas?
Or just spell it that way? if she says it that's fine but if it's just the spelling don't bother with the clarification because it's pointless
No hyphen just do a space
Again, quite some sentence!
'While yelling at an old man wearing a ridiculous Santa Clause hat flashing with a fifty-colour-assortment of lights, I saw the murderer of my Christmas spirit shoot a smirk in my direction. I saw him open his mouth, preparing to say something to reflect his idiotic personality.
New line for dialogue.
"Hey, what's up?" I forced out.
No comma
Instead of 'that' put 'how'
No commas after either first word
Just one ? does the job fine. Her words do the ! for you
Isn't he her boyfriend?
--
This is quite cue. But everything is so slow in the beginning to fast at the end.
Also, new line for dialogue so readers cannot miss it. This has a good setting but I'm not feeling much. Is it freezing? Are they soaked with snow? Is it snowing? Icicles anywhere? Slippery roads?
Be specific! And read out those LONG sentences to yourself. That way you can see where a comma needs to be etc.
Good writing and this has a nice set of joyful characters
Hey there,
I really liked this piece. It was easy to read and just enjoyable.
There is one or two things that bug me though.
This sentence is way to long for my liking. I would write it: Breathtaking snowflakes, merry Santa clause and melodious holiday tunes should have equaled a wonderful Christmas. Well, maybe to any other Joe Schmo that populated this little planet called Earth.
That's really the only thing i can nit pick on. I really enjoyed reading it. I'd love to here what the outcome was.
Thanks for writing it.
