@kballen Grammarly is an online website/program that helps you point out your grammar. Since my school gave me an account, I’m not sure how easy it is to access it, but it will point out easy to miss grammar mistakes (although not sentence fluency). It’s good for finding mistakes that you yourself may miss.

@kballen If you’re entering this into a contest, I would suggest putting this through Grammarly or having someone check over this for grammar/punctuation, just to polish it up.
Great concept!! I love how you vividly describe each setting, especially in the opening sentences.

This is really funny! I like it. Just a couple of suggestions:
#1: The story sounds like something your main character is recounting from her past (e.g. the sentence “Anyway back to the story”). I think it can be improved with some tweaking and rephrasing to lessen the distance between the readers and the narrative so that the first…[Read more]

@kballen This is pretty funny! I can imagine Harold having an evil smile. As far as wrapping up the ending, maybe you could describe the running away a little more.

@dekreel Haha, I’d forgotten I’d said that already, too!
@kballen Greetings Kylie! It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. My favorite food is a leg of goat roasted with sage and rosemary. My least favorite would have to be … chickpeas, maybe? I am easily pleased 😀 Which is your favorite house in Harry Potter?

Rochellaine replied to the topic Comic Poems I Wrote in the forum Poetry 6 years, 10 months ago
@perfectfifths and @kballen Thanks! I think my favorite is actually the giant one because the story is more unusual (can I use that as a synonym for “totally weird”?), but I do like a couple of lines from the dragon poem a lot, such as “I faltered for a moment but/began to argue with the nut,” because it’s so crazy.
@itisastarrynight I’m glad…[Read more]

@kballen Hi! The Chronicles of Narnia are some of the best books ever written 🙂 And Harry Potter, since I see it in your signature. Those books are so underrated, but they actually have a lot of depth and are just awesome in general.
Favorite foods?!!! I have no idea. Shrimp, definitely. How about chocolate? Does chocolate count? And a lot of…[Read more]

@KBallen Awesome! I’m Gryffindor with a lot of Hufflepuff tendencies. XD Both my brother and my sister are Hufflepuff so I blame them for that. 😜
