Review Detail of Clara_the_fish in Lyricist: Her Revenge

I really like the way the story is going but there are various grammar mistakes the author keeps making. For example, the placement of punctuation marks. Here’s a small lesson. A. [“Where are you going?”, she asked.] this is not correct. If you have a question mark in there already, there is no need to have that comma there; it’s implied. Correct examples: 1. “Where are you going,” she asked. While this is not my favorite way, it is correct. 2. “Where are you going?” she asked. This makes more sense to me and is also correct. The same theory can be applied to exclamation marks. The second issue I’ve noticed is that the author combines words that shouldn’t be combined. Or rather, that have certain times when they should or shouldn’t be combined. For example, “I had better get going.” This sentence is grammatically correct, though some people may also say “I’d better get going.” This is also correct. However, author sometimes has a sentence where combining “I had” is not correct. An example is: A. [“I’d that ice cream flavor a while ago.”] That isn’t right! While it may seem correct because you’ve seen occasions where it’s been used that way, it really isn’t grammatically correct. Here’s the correct way: 1. “I had that ice cream flavor a while ago.” There are a couple more minor details (like the usage of emojis and &s) but I won’t get into them. This seems like a whole boatload of criticism for this novel, but NO, IT IS NOT. I have enjoyed this novel immensely so far and am looking forward to future reading. Thanks for coming to my Tedtalk.
