Chao- This was fun to "fill out", and there were some good laughs, but at some point, this meme seems to stray away from stupid things to random things. Oh, well.

Contractions and Possessions

Chao- These two things that require an apostrophe can get confusing. They also give readers headaches if used incorrectly. After all, how many times have we stumble upon in either our own work or another's and read you're when it should be your or vice versa? Talk about a face palm moment.

YChao- You made such mistakes before, even now.

Agent Daisy- (opens very old fan fics) (points at flaws)

Chao- Yep, not gonna deny that. Anyway, here are some websites for people who may need a refresher.

Apostrophe (Oatmeal)

Guidelines for Using Apostrophes Correctly (About.com)

The Apostrophe (Purdue OWL)

Chao- And even if we become aware of what we write, how can will cut down on these mistakes? Try this little exercise.

Exercise: Try writing without using either apostrophes. Write out the possessions and contractions.

Example: Instead of "he's" write "he is". Or instead of "you're" write "you are".

Consider this: While examining your own work, either for clarification or if you are at the revision stage, read every paragraph backwards. All sentences should stand on their own, and it will give you a better way of seeing mistakes.

Chao- FF.net and FP.com have Previews available. You can try reading your story in that format, so it will give you a new view on the piece. Sometimes it's easier to catch mistakes if you see your story in a new format.

Free Writing Exercise

Chao- As writers, we want to do our best in illustrating our stories to our readers. But what if we struggle with writing something like, for example, action scenes? How do we illustrate a fist fight or a car chase? In a past entry, Chao had suggested trying to take a story or one shot and focus on one aspect while writing the plot. But there are other exercises to experiment with as well. Like with artists and how they practice the fundamentals, like character expressions, writers need to always improve their own styles.

Exercise: Take a blank document. Write a scene only with your character interacting with something you want to improve.

Chao- And keep these documents in a folder either in your computer or real life filing cabinet. You may want to save them for something else. You can also compare the first time you wrote something to how it is now, like with athletes and comparing times.

Take on a Word Count Challenge

Chao- Hi, all! Here's an idea to try out for writing!

Exercise: Write an entire story  a certain word length. Depending on where you're submitting your work, like a magazine, you may have a word limit. Try out what you typically have for one story and decrease it from there.

Example in Usage: Summaries in FF.net and FP.com permit 384 characters, which includes spaces.

Chao- While attending a writing club meeting, Chao  reviewed someone's work, and she had a word limit of 800 words. 800 words, huh? When we reach that number, some of us aren't even close to finishing a simple chapter! Having a word limit may help you construct carefully written sentences and find ways to appreciate any and all words in that work. It may heighten your word choice and how you want your work presented. Anyway, it just seems like an interesting exercise.

Updates for August

Chao- It's been a great summer so far--doing nothing but working at a summer job while finding time to finish up fan fics. Hard to imagine it's already August! School starts the 22nd for this author/blogger. Dunno what can be accomplished during the school year, but let's take a look at a few updates this month.


Yu-Gi-Oh!: "Offspring of Heroes" is just about done. It's got about three more chapters left. Hope you all have been enjoying the latest one shots! Although a sequel to "Present with You Always" was aimed to be published in a previous update, the date for publication is unknown.

Chao- Sorry about the wait for that sequel. It's under work, but not much got to be written. But it has been promised, so it will be out one day.

Phineas and Ferb: "The Value of a Smile" will go under another reconstruction. No other current news at this time.

Chao- Gonna do some catching up for the new episodes this month. Don't spoil anything!

Cats Don't Dance: No current news at this time.


Chao- Can't believe it's been about a year since Chao has started this blog. Hope any of these entries have been helping those who have been stopping by! But on a side note, Chao is gonna delete the Livejournal account; it's just too much work to maintain two blogs.

YChao- Lazybones.

Chao- And for those who are starting school, have an awesome year!
