bad HAbits die Hard I know but I have one question, how do you get rid of a bad habit through out writing something, anything
I keep on doing the same bad habits over and over, which includes the puncuation, and some silly sentences that sometimes don't make since?!
how can I get rid of such a bad habit?

julilly:
English is your second language?

I suppose for something like punctuation it's just a matter of learning and practicing the correct way. Same as you would for school.

If you have particular sentences that you use that you don't like, or don't make sense, then make a list of them and don't use them, make a point of trying to find a different way to say it.

Purpura Lipstick:
The only suggestion I have is to make an effort not to make those mistakes anymore. I know that is easier said then done, but take julily's suggestions. Also if you can find a beta reader or a friend who is willing to help, they are a great help for puncuation and if you let them know about sentances you are unsure about liking I'm sure they will try and help you make them sound better.

ryanna:
But sometimes Finding a beta reader that is willing to help is not easy, right now I have a couple of them but both are busy right now, and I feel bad trying to asking them to read stuff while they are too busy, I registered for my second english course, which is now a writing course ,not grammar, but the teacher is making us do those stupid letters and paragraphes that makes me feel bored, opps forgot some letters here and there but I am enjoying the fact I am writing that is why I am asking for advice

julilly:
If it's a writing course then there should be grammar involved
