reviewing bad writing.
by Alala
I decided to start doing reviews again. In the past I never reviewed bad writing.

I have a review started on another page. It is an excerpt from a book. There is nothing wrong with the story, in fact I kind of like it.

But there are little problems on every sentence. I don't want to point out just some of them. I also wonder if the writer really wants to know all of this. I copied the text on the review section and tried making the suggestions on the lines between. Then I stopped. was going to delete it. Quit reviewing bad writing. Find something else. But I kept it open on another tab and came here. I'll do it. It is time consuming. It will look like I am a school teacher. Is this really what they want to hear? I don't know what to do. Could someone review my review? How do others handle this? It would be so much easier to just skip the bad writing, but I love this website and want to support it and new writers.

Please advise.
