With both my current, and old laptops, and my two USB flash drive backups, AND a few that I've finished, but have yet to release to the public, I have almost 500 works to my credit. From short stories of less than seven thousand words, to two novels in the range of about 40K-65K word count, to the inspiration quotes and quote banners I create, they all have certain building bricks to better develop the story. These proverbial bricks are essential for creating not just that perfect story, but one that captures the imagination of the readers. Writing anything is like painting or a puzzle--your words have to come together to form a complete picture, and even one minor detail could throw someone off. Or, better yet, if these bricks aren't all fitting properly, the entire wall of the story becomes weak.

Think of a written piece as a wall. The stronger and more well-designed it is, the easier people will follow it to whoever you want them to be concerned with. And, as with all things in life, if it is sturdy enough, it can withstand opposition, something many writers fail at--taking criticism. One bad comment or review can crack the wall just enough to bring it down. That's why it's paramount to go over your work a few times before publishing. Best way I've found is to think of your piece as a movie, and you are the voiceover person. Would anyone keep their eyes and ears glued to what you've created?
Also, Speck Checker & Grammar Checker are your "Save My Ass" resources. You don't want to have a piece rejected just because you put "teh" instead of "the."
