Run-on sentences seem to be a common occurrence for the author of this blog; the reason for this seems to link back, as stated in a previous posting, to the fact that the author of this blog writes using a very "stream of consciousness" type of attitude. At the same time, due to the fact that the author knows that run-on sentences are a problem for him, he tries to proofread everything in order to assure that he does not use them during his writing.
It was interesting in the Grammar Girl episode number forty-nine, which had to do with run-on sentences to hear the different uses of punctuation and how they affect the overall tone of the writing. It was definitely something to think about and to make good use of. The author of this blog enjoyed the information that was presented, and would recommend listening to or reading the podcast to anyone that enjoys writing, or is in a writing class.
