RE: How Life Defines You - Part 8 - Endurance
I especially like this paragraph. It is very descriptive and flows well:
She hobbled more than ran coursing deeper and deeper into the dense covering of trees, the further she travelled the hotter the day grew but the darker her surrounds appeared - she glanced up as she continued forward, the canopy of massive trees only permitted faint beams of light to penetrate it's dense coverage.
Here's how I would punctuate it:

At the end of this paragraph you could also add a reaction from Mila (emotional reaction would be great). That would really suck me into the scene even more.
I'm really enjoying this story so far @krystle. Next post please!
Hey thanks so much, yeah punctuation and grammar have always been a weak point for me - but I think the other issue is I talk really fast lol.
I have also been adapting how I would normally write a paragraph since joining steemit, I now write smaller sentences generally - if they start to go long I do this, it is just visually easier (to me at least).
I'm glad you liked it but this is literally the first draft of this story, so there is a lot of work still to go into all of it - I plan on doing a full edit and rewriting it once I finish the story, or at least this part of the story.
Cheers for the comment.
