About Alena »

I'm Czech, moved to Houston 9 months ago.

I cannot stay away from my computer, Blackberry and constant learning. I'm working hard at Rice University right now.
My professor Susan is a former private teacher of YAO MING! He had some free time last year when he had hurt his leg, and hired her! No wonder why his English has got so much better. Have you, guys, noticed??

I highly appreciate Bleacher Report because it gives equal chance to anybody who is interested in writing, and getting better.

My favorite quotes:

"It's Not Over, Till It's Over." (Rocky)

"Life's Greatest Fruit Is Always At The End Of The Branch and One Has To Be Wiling To Fall Out The Tree To Get It." (David Bach)

Hello,

Wrote an article on Wimbledon doubles Grand Slam champ, Corina Morariu who defied cancer to battle back into the tennis courts and stun everybody. Hope you get a chance to check it out.

Hi Alena,

Thanks a lot for the edit! Just one dumb question, though. How do you put the big "-" between the sentences? I always separate them by hyphen, but never manage to get that.

thanks!

Is it possible that one editor could do a thorough edit, and then a second one come along and find twice as many mistakes as the first editor?
... something smells..lol

Q:How many times should an article get edited? I just wrote it ten minutes ago and was in the process of editing it myself, and also correcting the things that you had mentioned..haha thanks.
Alena Grove (8 minutes ago)
Good article. Remember that a headline should be capitalized except of articles, coordinating conjunctions and prepositions, and a headline should not end in period. Also, there is a period after No - No. 3. I broke some long paragraphs into shorter ones.

Ryan Winn (17 minutes ago)
Nice piece here, Stoker. I fixed some spacing issues, corrected some spelling and capitalization mistakes, added and deleted commas as needed, and changed a few punctuation things for flow and readability. Take a look at the edits made and keep what you like. Thanks!
