When I’m upset, I write. When I’m happy, I write. When I’m feeling angry, sad, elated, spontaneous or creative, I write.
I am very blessed to be able to express myself through the written word. I always feel the more I do it the better I am. The part of my own writing in a constant state of needing improvement is my grammar. In the world of social media and really the world of technological communication, users type in brevity. And, in order to do that, sometimes grammar is lost. Well I am standing true to the founding fathers of writing and saying NO! I will use its and it’s correctly! I will use apostrophes! And, I will place commas in their rightful place!
That said, even though I love grammar- I still have a lot to learn. What better place to find grammar tips but through social media? There are many modern writers out there who keep up a blog (myself included!), but it’s rare to find such an excellent grammar source online…and for free!
