Narrator: So you think you’ve finished your latest spooky story do you Frank?
Have you checked it matches your original purpose?
That your sentences flow nicely, the words are in the right order, and double-checked your facts?
Frank, Frank, Frank.
Imagine the errors you might’ve made. Does it even make sense? Here, let me take a look.
‘A witch that casts a terrible smell.’
There’s a spelling mistake!
‘A werewolf that howls moonlight.’
Couple of words missing there Frank!
‘A vampire wakes up in the sunlight.’
Vampires during the day!?
Clearly you haven’t checked your vampire facts!
‘The vampire got a steak to her heart.’
You won’t be defeating any vampires with that kind of steak!
And it’s not just your spelling… have you checked your grammar?
‘Stop scaring, little children.’
You don’t need that comma. Let’s remove it.
Spot on Frank, checking your writing before you show it to anyone is as important as watching where you’re going.
FRANK: ARGH!
