Welcome

This is the first post on my new (actually reincarnated) blog, so an introduction is in order.

I’m a freelance proofreader, editor, and writer. I love reading and writing and I love language.

Sometimes I will vent about the sad state of spelling, grammar, and punctuation these days. I have a few pet peeves – specific mistakes that really drive me up the wall, maybe because I see them so often (and they break the rules I was taught in elementary school).

Other posts will be less harsh; they will be simple observations or comments about things in the news related to the English language. I love the English language and all of its oddities and intricacies.

Sometimes I’ll just write about what I’m reading and occasionally I’ll write about what I’m writing (I’m working on another novel).

I hope this will be entertaining and perhaps instructive. I definitely hope it will be interesting.

Enjoy the ride.
