Great advice. Try reading some great stories like "On a Pale Horse".

Yeah, Hawk covered it. The combination of length and crappy formatting made this one real tough to read. The writing seemed decent, but don't expect praise unless we can get through it first.

To italicize, [i]word[i/]
To bold-type, [b]word[b/]
To indent, [indent]and then start writing.

It was a trawl through text to read, like wading through ball bearings.

I started reading, but the migraine I began developing after I reached the fifth line convinced me that it wasn't such a good idea.
Two things you want to do here:
1. Paragraphing With Basic Sentence Structure:
This means that you use full sentences and paragraph utilization. Run-on sentences are bad, people don't like to see two or three of them, let alone five in the same chunk of text.
Paragraphing makes your text less of a block-type-thing, and more of a "Wow! I can read that!"-type thing. New paragraphs start after a heavier train-of-thought changes direction, or after a person finishes talking:
"Hey, Bob!"
"Hi, Bill!"
After you use paragraphing and full sentences, your writing becomes readable. Almost like magic.
2. Proofread!
Master Chief, Shotgun, Covenant, and Assault Rifle.
Errors easily corrected through proofreading help make your story more fun. It no longer becomes a metaphorical hike-through-a-field-of-sharp-pointy-objects.
Spell-checkers also help. Feeding it through a program like Microsoft Word or Corel ensure that nearly all basic errors are brought to attention and that consistency is kept. Proofreading further ensures this.
