[Holby]

...... Yes it is very good, but y'know. I take my book writing very seriously and right now I just want feed back.

Grammatical things that are important:

a/an. You use "an" if the next word begins with a vowel sound.

An interesting explanation. A bad explanation.

your/you're. "You're" is a contraction. If "you are" doesn't make sense in the context of the sentence, you probably want the other one.

You're right about that one, Holby. Your turn.


Any writing you do will help make you better. Like anything else, practice is important.

George Orwell said some interesting things about writing:

   

Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

    Never use a long word where a short one will do.

    If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

    Never use the passive where you can use the active.

    Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
