How much have you contemplated it as a writer?

Writing is certainly not an easy piece of cake. It is not just about commanding tenses, subject-verb agreement, vocabs, and other technicalities revolving around writing. Rather about being aware of little minutiae, one of the most intriguing being punctuation.

Punctuations are like pauses in speech and flavors in food.

Punctuations soften the ambiguous sentence to a comprehensible form.

Punctuations can make a statement exciting, curious, interactive, and suspenseful, and elicit so many other emotions.

However, poor command of punctuation can indicate totally a different meaning from what you are trying to express.

Punctuation is a power to a sentence. However, overusing it or misusing it can kill the entire essence.

One comma can either make or break a sentence.

Here are two statements:

1.       Let’s eat Andrew.

2.       Let’s eat, Andrew.

See, just a comma can cost people’s life.

Excelling at punctuation is a lifelong process. We somehow get a miss no matter how hard we try. It is all about trying your best, learning best, and being mindful during the writing process.

And lastly, thanks to Grammarly. It’s been a savior. But still, it might miss.
