Something about annotating

@NeoChess9 made a really great announcement some time ago, and while (almost) everyone is annotating, many people are annotating ineffectively. This announcement aims to clarify matters. This is an example of good annotating: (notice how I convey my thoughts continuously, and how I give alternative variations, along with reason for moves I didn't play)

This is an example of bad annotating:

Notice how I state the obvious too much, and how I don't help you understand what I'm thinking? That is the point of annotating: to invite others into the machine that is your brain, to offer others a way to see what you see when you play. Annotating can even help you improve, especially in classical, as you can know exactly what was wrong with your calculations.

This game was submitted in week 1, but due to the unusual circumstances of that week, he didn't win. 

(notice the use of variations)

I hope this helps!
