I also have a problem with one of my pieces, awkward sentencing, I wondered what that meant, and I was hoping you guys know.

Can you give me an example of awkard sentences? and what makes it so bad?

Every sentence in your post is awkward.

This is a run-on sentence.

I have a problem with one of my pieces. (the word also comes after a previous statement. There are no previous statements in this post, so also sounds awkward.)
My sentences are awkward. (The next sentence needs a subject and a verb. "my sentences" (subject) and "are" (verb).
Can anyone tell me what that means? I just took the last part of your sentence (12 words) and asked the same question (7 words). Never say with ten words what can be said with five. Awkward sentences tend to be long. Shorten them.
Can you give me an example of an awkward sentence? Make sure that if you start out with plural or singular nouns, you compliment them with plural or singular pronouns or adjectives. "an example"(singular)+"of awkward sentences"(plural). See how this sentence misses the mark?

In the end, a sentence is just a subject and a verb. Don't think too hard about it. That's all a sentence is: noun, verb.

I (noun) ran (verb).

When you simplify your approach, your sentences won't be so awkward.

A book on sentence structure can also help you out in ways that a writing forum can't.

Good luck.

Some awkward sentences address singular subjects with plural linking verbs.

Sorry man, but you had it coming.

But seriously, the best way to tell if a sentence is awkward is to just read it out loud. If it sounds awkward, chances are it's an awkward sentence.
