User blog comment:ShadowFlash83/Should I start writing pastas on paper before typing them?/@comment-35711173-20181130072019

You mean, like writing them down with a pen and pad of paper? I haven't done that since my Freshman year in High School! I got a (hold onto your hat) manual typewriter.

Writing longhand has been out for decades.

I advise writing off line in a standard word processor like Open Office or Microsoft Word. Use the grammar and spelling check tools on that word processor, but the built in versions are usually quite limited. Once your story is complete, read it out loud to yourself several times. Then use the various on line web sites to detect spelling, grammar, punctuation and other errors. Once you have corrected them, read the story again out loud to yourself several times. If parts don't flow well, correct them.

Once you sincerely think the story is marvelous, post it to the Writer's Workshop in the forum. Hopefully people will review it and tell you everything wrong with it. Carefully evaluate that feedback. I know you got a lot of negative feedback with The Death Valley Drive and The Red Man in the forum, but that was people taking time away from their writing to try to help you.
