My husband texted me the following sentence this morning,”You’re having punctuation issues lately. Even in some of your blog posts (yes, I actually look at most of them).” First, I was surprised he read my blog posts but then offended he noticed errors in a blog and didn’t let me know. I am admittedly terrible with grammar and punctuation. I love to read and I love to write but the technicalities are not my strong suit.
Despite knowing sentence construction is a weakness of mine I still don’t like making mistakes. Just the other day I made a huge spelling error in a blog title, thank goodness a lovely blogger emailed to tell me. I get my homophones confused and my commas are either lacking or overdone. So I did what any self conscious, semi-perfectionist, person would do; I searched the internet for help.
I found this amazing website I wanted to share; I encourage any blogger to take a look. There is a header called Grammar Tips. I started under the homophone section and not only does it explain in detail the difference in sound alike words; it gives examples and easy ways to remember the differences.
The website is called: Writing Forward
A few things you will find that I found useful

Tell me he said something good about your content. How you can tell an interesting story that keeps the reader coming back for more… Tell me he said you are able to speak to the reader as if you are sitting at a cafe…

It’s the thought and being able to tell the story that matters. I can totally get past the errant period or dag instead of dog. You have it with you to tell such tales.

Bookmarked for the ideas. Thank you.
Husbands are so good for constructive criticism I find. Not always constructive right enough. 😉

The website is really well laid out and not boring at all. I hope you enjoy it. Yes, my husband is so intelligent and sometimes gets exasperated with me. However, I am lucky to have a walking smarty pants as a reference guide!

Thanks friend. Grammar is definitely one of my weaker points. And don’t even get me started on comma’s. lol. This will be a great resource.

Never make a long distance call on a homophone… just saying…
And I love that picture of you… cutest cartoony picture ever.
And I may have to check out this website because my using of words is not the best using of words that can be used as words are used and stuff…
