Im writing this without using any punctuation
Why
Well people dont understand how important editing is do they
The writer me used to think punctuation could be fixed and didnt really matter We should just write the story and worry about that But what if punctuation or lack thereof changes what we intend to say
Would anyone notice
Im going to the store running to the gas station then grabbing lunch
Although we know the store isnt running to the gas station thats the way its written And if youre writing fantasy people might actually believe the store is running to the gas station
Just like you might think I meant you are writing about fantasy people rather than people confusing your lack of proper punctuation with where your store is running
Did you go back and read to see what I am talking about
Are you confused
I am
Writing without punctuation is annoying
Im a submissions editor for Curiosity Quills Press and although I dont reject books based on punctuation having your commas semicolons and periods in the right place helps
To end I leave you with a telegraph joke
