edit it... as long as youre not satisfied with your work you should edit and edit and edit and edit...... because editing aside from practicing makes something perfect....

Ok when ever i write a story, letter, essay or anything my one time best options is to first write it by hand than edit and then type it on the computer. when typed up it will show you which sentences need to be corrected or not that way you wont have to go through everything but only that particular sentences.
if you dont have a computer than another option is to get it edited by a close friend, parents or relatives if this dosent help and yeh you would need to do it yourself.
i have written a story as well and that particular time i didnt have a computer and couldnt get help from anyone so i redone it myself but at the end of the day it is the mark and hard effort that counts. To get the A+ is the most important.
Well good luck

Split it into chapters, edit/rewrite/revise one at a time, treating each as an individual piece. Novel writing is a grueling process and there's no sincere way to get around it.

Just because it's 120k words long doesn't mean that it's necessarily good. If it's full of run-on sentences then edit it! Or you could leave it and never look at it again if you don't want to do anything with it.

it is not suitable what you form it on. whilst it comes time to deliver on your manuscript for attention, no one is going to care what application you typed it into as long because it in in the format being asked for. If, for some loopy reason, observe can not accommodate this format, you may continuously hotel to a speedy shrink and paste to get it right into a distinctive application, whether it in all probability does not be necessary. except you tell everybody you supply the thick wad of paper and ink to what application you used, no one will ever comprehend. :)

Go from the start. If your story is full of run-ons then it will distract people and make them forget whats going on. Well, most people who actually do care about structure. Also ask your teacher if he/she can help you with it.

part of the writing process is the tedious task of editing. if you have run-on sentences, they need to be fixed. start reading from the beginning and anywhere you can put a period, put one. the book won't edit itself.

well if you really want it to be perfect go ahead and redo it but most people when they are reading don't notice if it is a run on sentence or not so you don't really need to change it
