A Podcast About Writing and Self-Publishing – The Vexations of Grammar

Hello again.  Nice to see you.  Have you done something different with your hair?

You have?

Wonderful.  Who knew that purple streaks could be so alluring?

Anyway – to business.

In episode 17 of this podcast about writing and self-publishing, I discuss the perils of editing our grammar in our work.  How strict do we have to be?

Do we have to know every obscure rule?

Note: I haven't included the examples from my own work as I've subsequently taken my own advice and changed them.

Comments are great – subscribers are even better.  I'm on itunes and there's also a series of very short stories you can receive via email.

Thank you for listening.

And, sorry about the hair comments.  It's fine.  Really.  I hardly even noticed it.
