I have to say that I’m probably on the opposite side of the fence when it comes to grammar. I can deal with misspelled words here and there, misplace commas and other mistakes, mostly because I don’t see them and do it myself. Not on purpose.

For me a story can always be improved. I don’t have a beta and hope some day I do, if I continue. I think that it is important for each to know what to expect from each other. I think there are some writers who want the betas to do all the correcting, and to me that is not right. A writer has to learn to look at their own work. I personally think that a writer should look at their own work at least three times before handing it to a beta.

And as for that not right sometimes, for me, has to do with style. I know there are a lot of stories that have great ideas and are grammatical correct, but I don’t like how it is being told.
