Why are there so many rules. Adverbs, pronouns, proper-nouns, and yuck. Someone critiqued chapter 2 for me, someone I met at the writers conference. He loves my story, my characters, and he thinks I convey emotions really well. I couldn't believe, however, how many punctuation errors he pointed out. It was a little embarrassing but very helpful.
And when did the spacing rule change? In high school I was taught to put two spaces after a period. Now only one is needed, which was pointed out very frequently in the corrections.
So lesson learned: no matter how brutal it may be to see all of those marks and changes it is worth it if you really let yourself learn from those mistakes.
