^ see that stuff that guy is saying is kind of unimportant as long as you don't have the iq of a fish. Grammar is imporatnat, but it's not an issue that should be looked at so indepth. Know your tense, but don't think about it when writing a story. Editors that I've know tend to not care as much and its there job to point it out so as long as theres not a shit ton of errors and make a good story, its normally fine. (aka re-read) People who tend to focus more about grammar, voices, persons, etc, tend ot be the "Kids who can right, but not write."

Aka the Honnor role students who can write a paper with perfect grammar but there story will put you to sleep. I swear, during senior year when we were writing memwares(can't spell it) I fell asleep every day simply because it was either a boring family story, or some girl be gang banged by 9 guys. Then some horrnor role kid came up to me, bragged his story had better grammar(Even though, as a side note, mine got tons of cheers from everyone and is even the teachers highlighted story to this day.) and bragged about hes going to spend 80k a year in a 4 year college to write books...

Like...Ok..You wrote about your fish dying...Good luck with that man..
