Weekly Grammar Tip: Power of the Period (Literally)

Ever wondered how a tiny dot can make or break your writing? That's the power of the period! This punctuation mark does more than just end sentences. It adds rhythm, clarity, and even drama to your prose. Here are some tips:

 Keep It Short and Simple

Long sentences can confuse readers and water down your message. Break up complex ideas with periods for bite-sized, easy-to-digest chunks.

Example:

Before: The alchemist worked tirelessly in his dimly lit laboratory, mixing potions, consulting ancient texts, and conducting experiments late into the night.

After: The alchemist worked tirelessly in his dimly lit laboratory. He mixed potions, consulted ancient texts, and conducted experiments late into the night.

Dodge the Run-Ons

Run-on sentences happen when independent clauses are strung together without proper punctuation or conjunctions. Periods help you avoid these and keep your grammar game strong.

Example:

Before: Lady Isabella entered the room she surveyed the scene with a keen eye.

After: Lady Isabella entered the room. She surveyed the scene with a keen eye.

 Spotlight Key Points

Short sentences can emphasize important details and add a dramatic flair. Periods create natural pauses to let your key information shine.

Example:

Before: In the heart of London, amidst the chaos and noise, a secret meeting took place that would change everything.

After: In the heart of London, amidst the chaos and noise, a secret meeting took place. It would change everything.

Mix It Up for Rhythm

A blend of short and long sentences creates an engaging rhythm in your writing. Periods allow you to control this flow and keep readers hooked.

Example:

Before: Elizabeth Thorn, a skilled herbalist, used her knowledge to heal the sick during the Great Plague, her potions and remedies providing much-needed relief to those who were suffering.

After: Elizabeth Thorn, a skilled herbalist, used her knowledge to heal the sick during the Great Plague. Her potions and remedies provided much-needed relief to those who were suffering.

Does Grammarly Really Make Your Writing Perfect? Review from a Pro Writer and Editor

As a writer, it’s hard to know which resources are actually useful and which ones are just a fad. “You have to use this software to outline your book!” “This is the only word processor you should use to write your novel!” “Everyone can tell if you don’t use this tool. . .” Heard it before? There are so many writing tools and resources available nowadays, and that fact can either be extremely…

I just think it's funny that anyone has ever used any kind of grammar software to much serious extent.

Spellcheck is one thing, and at least it's useful. Grammar checker, though? You already have to know what you're doing to use it. You can't use it blindly. MAYBE it'll be helpful in catching one or two errors you spaced out over. Usually you end up keeping what you originally wrote.

I haven't used grammar software for any kind of serious effort since high school. Even IN high school it didn't provide much value. You don't need it.

Thanks to intrusive AI implementations turning most grammar products into a festering bucket of inaccurate shit being used to steal our work and feed the yawning maw of technological enshitification under corporate greed, I've pretty much disabled all of my editing software and am just raw-dogging the writing experience like it's 2012.

But sometimes, even the native Word editor makes a suggestion that's so fucking dumb I have to pause and pinch my nose and ask, "Baby doll, are you fucking high?" as I mark the suggestion as wrong.

What I had written: He tipped his head back, baring his throat to those sharp, gleaming teeth.

Word's suggestion: He bore his throat.

That's it. That's the suggestion for "clarity and conciseness." Just remove three-quarters of the sentence and use the completely wrong word for the implied action.

I miss Clippy.

do you think it's okay to use ai for editing?

oof, i don't really care one way or another? i don't use it, but that's not really a moral position, i just don't like my writing being meddled with and am generally kind of a luddite. to be honest though i don't think this should be as much a question of "is this okay" for you as "does this help me and am i comfortable with it"

Am I losing it? This should say "What is the basic nature and activity of the business?" right???

Human Editors Vs Editing Softwares

If I had a rupee for every time some writer inquired about my editing fee and then reverted with an “I think I can do this on my own using (XYZ) software,” I’d probably be richer than Mr Ambani. Well… maybe not, but close enough. Though, I’d still be writing and editing 😉 Today, there’s some software for everything, right from the useful ones like powerful word processors to insanely useless…

Latest blog post - click the link below! I'd love to know your thoughts!

Have you ever wondered what tools I used to write my book? Well, you’re not alone. I’ve received several questions about my writing process, so I decided to share it with you in this post. You may remember from a previous post that I started writing in Google Docs. The reason was simple: I had an old laptop that couldn’t handle the latest version of Office. It was barely able to go online and…
