[quote="Ed"]Mention the noun in every paragraph to keep the reader focused on what is being talked about. In addition, use the noun in any sentence where it could be unclear what the pronoun is referring to. Confusing: The cat liked the toy. It was fuzzy. The cat, or the toy, was fuzzy? Cl...

Not quite sure if I should put it here or on the thread meant for this. You forgot a space on the second example, second sentence: Theyalso live a long time. It should have a space between They and also. Anyway, to the question. I was wondering how long is it fine to use a pronoun instead of the nou...

[quote="Nessiee"]I just wanted to mention that I've downloaded and tried out ReadPlease. Not only does it help me to find mistakes (because sometimes you can hear a word spoken that just sounds wrong) but it's also helped me to improve the flow of my articles. Sometimes I just don't notice...

Now I have finally reached a time where I can write as much as I want to, for a while. The biggest problem I have with writing is that...
