10 mistakes
Posted by Derek at 8:41PM

We play fast and loose with the grammar here in Fray. After all, when you're telling a story, voice is important. That's why our Seven Steps are more about living than editing. Of course, once you've done the living, the editing is good, too. That's why we encourage anyone interested in submitting go print this essay and hang it on their wall: Ten Mistakes Writers Don't See (But Can Easily Fix When They Do).

Remember, everyone has a story to tell. The first and most important step is to just get it down on paper. But once you do, and you want to polish it up, see if there any of these mistakes you can correct. Your readers will thank you.
