I have been taking Beta-reader tests from this site called Perfect Imagination. This is the fourth time I'm going to take this test and I really hope I'll be able to join. First time, I got a 43 percent and it was not enough for me to become a beta-reader. On the second time, I failed again. On the third time, my e-mail was somehow not submitted and I thus, have to take another one.
I admit I am not very observant and hardly notice little mistakes, but I am very constant in detecting "The Homonym Mistake" as I call it. It is where a homonym of the intended word is used instead of it.
Example of the Homonym Mistake
This movie is to scary for me.
The 'to' there should be 'too.'
I always read stories of amateur writers and I tell you, most of them have 75 percent wrong grammar. It's frustrating sometimes, but I have gone used to it and, even though it still annoys me some times, I can tolerate it more peacefully now. I also sometimes give advice to these writers.
But there are some amateur writers that are strikingly good and I admire them. My first story in Fanfiction.net was very bad and I am very glad I have deleted it. I think it is in this blog though. Some of these have been my friends and I salute them all. I have met a girl my age and her stories are really good, unlike mine.
But I am still proud of my stories. I was always, always am, and always be, proud of them. :)))
