Pick verb tense
Excerpt from "I wanna be a real writer too so gimme"

"I was turning into a turnip. I like movies, too."

Huh? Even if you're writing from a first-person viewpoint, you must pick a verb tense, you know, past/present/future? I won't even mention the imperfects. Never mind. Also, look up the definition of "non-sequiter", please. Don't even try to tell me you just type slower than you write. I don't care. Proofread your work before you post it!

Posting crap like this says you don't give a damn about my time, or the value of my attention. If I'm doing you the favor of looking at your work, the least you can do is complete your work before you post it! And yes, it is hard work. That's why it gets paid for, see?
