I allowed myself to be pleasantly sucked into Nine Books, the game of selecting just 9 titles that have stuck with you. As I attempted to sample from across my entire reading life, I wondered if readers could sense this readerly DNA in my writing.

"When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. For art establishes the basic human truth which must serve as the touchstone of our judgment."

As it's Halloween week I thought I might post a spooky poem (with bonus picture) that was published in a Halloween anthology.

Thanks for reading. :)

Behind every confident author is a manuscript that knows the truth. The plot holes, the midnight meltdowns, revisions, and the seventeen times (or maybe a million times) they threatened to quit...

Grammar Errors You May Be Making Right Now and How to Stop. Please. | @BadRedheadMedia https://t.co/Q4lqVF9UP2

Twenty-five word crimes that make writers twitch...

Okay, I admit it; I have grammar pet peeves. Come on, we all do. We may pretend we’re far too evolved to judge other people’s word choices, but then someone writes alot, and suddenly we’re pacing around the house muttering, “It’s two words. TWO, dammit.”

Might just be me.

So, with affection and a tiny speck of judgment, let’s discuss a few repeat offenders.

1. Alot

No. It’s a lot. Two words.

You wouldn’t write alittle, abunch, or awholemess. Please stop making a and lot live together before they’re ready.

2. For Free

You received the book free. You downloaded the guide free. You attended the event free of charge.

You can say you received it for free; that phrase is grammatically acceptable, widely used, and understood. I still don’t like it. My dad hates this phrase (former retail guy), and he’s 89, so we listen.

Not every pet peeve is a rule. Sometimes a collection of perfectly innocent words irritates us by simply existing, kinda like your little brother.
3. People Who, Things That

He is the author who wrote the book. This is the book that ruined my sleep last night.

Who is preferred for people, while that is more commonly used for things. Using that for a person isn’t always grammatically wrong, but who usually sounds more natural.

Your editor is a person who catches mistakes, not a helpful household appliance that lives inside your laptop, no matter how convenient. Editors need rest, too.

Animals deserve flexibility. If Pip knocks a glass off the counter while staring directly into my soul, he is absolutely a who because I want to, ya know, live.
