Grammar
could you please check this for grammatical er. it's an essay i made. thnx!
quarter-life crisis. questions, answers and more questions. "what is the meaning of my existence?" . i ask this question every god given day. since i was a kid i've always thought of life as peaches and cream. you just live your life as it is. i was wrong. i felt like i had to do something. but where do i start? questions, answers and more questions. this has already been a cycle, a wheel that never stops, a thought that will never turn. My life has always been stirred by money and and a deep longing for power. money and power- at one point in my life i thought i answered life's hard pressing questions . but, it didn't make me happy or more of a person than i truly am. something was lacking. it felt like my being wasn't complete. now what is the answer to my question?. passion. it is that single thing that makes us want to see a dusk and dawn. it is the driving force to strive for more. an ungovernable feeling that stirs us to do beyond what is imaginable. more profound than money and power. it embodies my whole being. questions, answers and more questions. i hope i have found mine. now what is yours?

Hi Dante, This is interesting, thoughtful and honest writing. You need to put a capital letter after each period. Are you supposed to be writing this in correct grammar, where sentences have subject/verb/object?

thanks, clive. that was just a syle i guess. do you think it would be better with more "formal writing" style?

I'm not Clive, but I like the style. And I agree that you need some capitalization.

thank you for the reply. I guess that's doable. I'am struggling with prepositions though.

Hi,
do you think it would be better with more "formal writing" style? Not necessarily. You called it an essay, so I just wondered if you are doing this for your own pleasure or if you are going to submit it to a teacher for a mark. If so, what do you suppose the teacher's expectations would be as regards conventional versus unconventional writing?

Here's a link to the classic style guide, The Elements of Style by Strunk and White. If you use this as your only style guide, you'll be able to produce good, American English style. There are other style guides out there, but Strunk and White is very good.

it's for a creaive writing course, clive. Im pretty sure she wouldn't mind. thanks for the reply. Your efforts in this board are greatly appreciated.
p.s. i should practice my capitalizations. it's more of laziness rather than being technically correct really. on the other hand, it's bad example, i know =)
