On another note @AceTrainer14; So What exactly do I do for the review like the whole thing cause 8 steps is crazy long. Or just some later chapters?

Since the writing academy has languished, I thought of a possible idea for a new installment: sentence structure. Something like this would be incredibly helpful to me, as I often read back my sentences and find that they're awkwardly worded and phrases are put in the wrong order. Not because of a fundamental lack of understanding of the language, but because of how people talk in our local areas. An example would be:

One seems grammatically correct, while the other is how I speak on a daily basis (curse you, upstate new york!). Which would be right? And would anyone else be interested in such a thing, or am I just being dumb and worrying too much?
This is not me volunteering to write such an article; it would never be finished because I'm honestly kind of self-conscious about this kind of thing when it comes to writing.
I'm one of those heretics that holds that grammar is the servant of understanding. Once it gets in the way of art it can be cheerfully ignored
Know exactly what you mean, LK. There's a reason there hasn't been a new 8ES for about two months now - have no idea how to connect one scene to the next, and it's driving me insane.
