  • Grammar

    This week's writers podcast is a deep dive into the brick wall called "grammar." Ugh, we get it: everyone hates the rules. We talk about why writers should learn and follow the rules, anyway.

    The deep dive:

    The history of English grammar.
    Moby Dick versus The Old Man of the Sea.
    What did I do 450 times?
    Ideas on improving your writing grammar.
    Turn on the closed captioning!
    Grammarly may not be your friend.

    Have a listen and let us know what you think.

    Over on my Patreon, I finished the the Tucci books elements series (free to  all). This blog post has the links.

    Take care of you. TIA and LYL!
