Run On Sentences
So I don't want to brag, but I know that I don't write run on sentences. I have a hard time making a clear statement like that because there is a first for everything and maybe I have written a run on sentence that I am unaware of. Generally speaking, I do not write run on sentences. To me, a run on sentence is just the omission of a period, a comma, or a semi-colon. I said in my last blog about comma splices that I am very direct in my writing. This means that I am probably too direct for run on sentences as well. I like my sentences to be short and too the point.

That, my friend, is a run-on.
You need a comma before the "and" to separate the two independent clauses.
Otherwise, good post!
HAHAHA! Figures that I would create a run on sentence in my blog about run ons!
