Okay, here's what you DON'T want your post to look like:
"Iluvfiyero2446 steppd int teh oub. she wuz esited becuz there wuz goin te b a party. Iluvfiyero2446 stepped up to Finniare 'Hey u esited bout te peatry' se sed."
The above has several things wrong with it: first, "Iluvfiyero2446" is not an appropriate character name; second, there is no grammar usage or correct spelling; third, there is horrible sentence syntax.
Or this one:
"Arya floated up the gravel walkway leading to the pub. The cornfeilds sayed with thier rows of barley stretching beyond the golden grasp of the gods. The barley danced like emrald fairys wightless to an unkown rythym only known to the gods who came before the reaches of time. The silver stars twinkled above thier heads like the shining eyes of a mother about to put her young babe to rest in a cradle of grass of gold and..."
This one's a litle better, with more correct spelling and better sentence structure. But get real people, who wants this much description?! Make it short- maybe one or two uses of imagery, but keep it to a minimum, please.
