    First off there is a link to the rules in my signature, bottom of the post, they are not long or difficult so please take a moment to look.

    As for help, well that tends to be what we do, look through the creative forums and decide which suits it best, for an essay possibly non fiction, then post it there with a suitable title (see the rules and guidelines) and see what people say. If you want to increase your chances of getting a response become part of the community so people think "Cocktail, yea they helped someone the other day, I wonder what they write?".

    Meantime I check my posts every so often, I shall keep an eye out to see if your post count goes up.

    Cocktail - You indicate you only want people who write 'literature' to comment. By literature do you mean fiction?

    I don't mean to be rude but is English your first language? If not there are excellent resources available on this site and throughout the web on proper spelling, grammar, and capitalization.

    I think what Cambyses was trying nicely to say is that people would take you a bit more seriously if you actually composed a post with actual English instead of text speak. There is a large difference between being bad at spelling and text speak. Your random capitalization and cutesy creative spelling make it seem like you are just trolling around joking not actually looking for serious help. If you want someone else to take you seriously you need to first take yourself seriously.

    Oh thanks Kat. I am so sorry. I am definately not joking or trolling. I just got too used to writing like that on the net. I just want someone to help me with my essay.

    If it's for school and not for possible publication then Non-Fiction would be fine.

    If someone shows up with an earnest question, I think we could all be a little more tolerant of their way of asking. Outside of a the workshops it is not necessary to comment on someone's writing style.

    Welcome to WF, Cocktail . As the others have said, non-fiction is a great place to put your essay.
    Let's see if my above post is deleted without explanation. Wouldn't be the first time.
