Hi, my dear friends! You all write many emotional blogs and comments here and often use these words, but you often use them incorrectly. So, I will give you some simple explanations so that you will not make such mistakes in the future.
SO is used before an adjective or an adverb:
The day is so nice! (an adjective).
He was listening to me so attentively! (an adverb).
SUCH is used before a noun or an adjective(s) + a noun. If a noun is singular and countable, there must be the article "a" before it. If a noun is plural or uncountable, there should be no artilce.
It was such a nice day!
You shouldn't swim in such cold water.
They are such kind people!
As usual, there is an exception. If a noun is preceded by the words MANY/MUCH, FEW/LITTLE, we should use SO before that noun phrase.
There were so many people at the meeting there was nowhere to sit.
There was so much rain this last summer!
We have got so little gas we won't be able to pull to the gas station.
And now, I will ask you to write your very short emotional stories (or some sentences) using SO and SUCH correctly.
Have a great weekend!

Thank you so much.
Anyway if you give a writing challange with linking words, I think it would be good for us.
Hi, my friends!
Dear Serene! Here is your corrected story. You can surely ask your questions.
Tom was the only one child of his parents. For long, he had been asking for a chic party. At last, his parents yield to his persuasion. He was so excited and full of hope because there would be a chic party in his house the next day. All his relatives came to the party and gave him such__ great pleasure. Flex told his parents 'Thank you so very much for arranging such a memorable evening”. But, in the morning his dream was interrupted by the sound of screaming and crying. His father got in the car accident while returning from the market. It was such a sad moment, there was no one left lovingly to call him “Tom”. He had never thought his anticipated pleasures would be shattered by such a terrible accident. His mind got filled with such __deep soreness that he wanted to die.
Thanks Danny/Tanya for the necessary corrections.
Hi, Dany!
Then is not drawing room a common thing over there? A separate room where a Tv, sofa, flowers vases are and where gusts usually take seats?
Well, about black berries of our part, ( I will try to draw later because now they are not available in the market, it is a summer fruit, now it is rainy season here.). Yes, they are mostly medium but some varieties are more bigger then usual. Usually they are sweet...though it also vary ( is it varys?) due to different varieties! But mostly sweet and a bit sour. We sometimes like to have them with a pinch of salt. Here is a link, please see.

Please check my attempt Tanya:
She is so beautiful, and when she dances so beautifully, the time seems stopped. That was such a nice day, and her such nice show, when she came to city to perform. When I went to the show, there were so many people at the theatre. But everyone was so peaceful, waiting in the queue to get tickets. To see her dance, the people were so much interested that they didn’t mind standing in the rain. I assumed everyone got the tickets, only a few were left so much dejected.
All respected Teaches, Thank you so much...^.^
Because of You all Teachers, we are improving English Grammar Day by day..:)
But now..I have busy busy daysss-_-
Well, Two days ago while I was writing on my laptop I faced such a mysterious situation that I think I should share with you! It was half past 12 o’clock and as we were in 6 day long Eid holiday so it was quiet calm indeed. Because, most of the city dwellers had left Dhaka to celebrate Eid in their hometowns or villages. Moreover, it was so dark outside. That time I was in our drawing room and I was alone. Literally, I was writing on my laptop and I was about to write the last two sentences. But, suddenly in a wink, all the lines had lost! Anyway I tried again but same situation happened. Then I tried again for the third time, same thing happened! After that a creepy sense came into my mind. I started thinking whether there was someone who did not want me to write or post that blog? Alongwithit, I felt may be there was someone who peered at me through the open window Then I changed my room to write again using my mobile phone. And, finally I was able to post it! What do you think, was it really that much scary?
Dear Peppo! Danny meant it is impossible to correct this sentence, but it doesn't sound English as a native speaker would express his mind differently. For example:
"Instead of writing some sad story, I would rather tell/write about a person with such disturbing mind".Or "I don't feel like writing a sad story. I would rather....". There are a few more options.
