What are we doing wrong

gurgi · Sep 17, 2002

alsih2o you gave me an idea to put some articles directly online so I like constructive critism or critique as you prefer its how we improve.

beating the point into people just gets them angry so suggestions are always appreciated

Hello all,
I am a senior staff memeber of Backara as well as one of the writters for the Herald. I write the Piece by Piece column every month and other articles as well.

I, personally, am proud to be associated with the Herald and with Backara. By the definition given of mundane I will admit that it is mundane as opposed to magical or fantastical. However, I find the challenges of writting for such a place intriguing.

A few comments, first on grammer - I'm not the editor so they are not pointed at me.

On Aserial - What you got was Aserial the man. From this portion of him I can understand why you do not see the point of him. Aserial lives in the bottom floor of the world's largest library that boasts a catalog of every written work in the known world. There are also scribes and journalists who work for Aserial all over the world. There is a suppliment under development that is completelly devoted to Aserial's library. Yes, if you hadn't guessed Aserial is my baby. The reason he is epic level is becuase he's spent a couple of centuries locked in a basement studying arcana, that's enough to learn a few things don't you think?

Hello, Editor-in-Chief here of the Herald.

Hmm. Seems grammar became the issue here. When all we wanted to know was why no one was entering the competitions.

By the way, deadline for the competition is September 20th.

Concerning the grammar, this will be take care of for the next issue.

I'm learning to do proper editing as I go along, I've never done this sort of work before.

Any tips would be most welcome.

Okay, I'm ssrry, but I have to say this - one of the most silly and ironic things you can do is to commit a very basic language error while discussing other such errors.

The word is spelled G-R-A-M-M-A-R. Talking about "grammer" is talking about the mother of one of your parents.

Thus endeth the rant.

Try perusing all of the forums found here.

Also take a look at The Elements of Style.

I hope these help.

Best of luck!

Interesting. You talk about my spelling, what of your spelling? ssrry for "sorry" .

Thanks for the link, Khan! The forum should help a lot. Strange, I do have a copy of The Elements of Style, recently bought it, but haven't had a chance to sit down and read through it.
