You have a wonderful written voice Steve. I loved every word of your posting. I also own and value the BBGP by Jane Straus as part of my learning journey!

Steve, The Write Road is brilliant! I’m looking forward to more “Mauerisms” (as in “say la vee”). Super stuff!

Steve, my first thought when I read that sentence was: why would a dog eat my bright red sweater? Did I eat a drippy roast beef sandwich while wearing it? Then I remembered that I should read the sentence again. Oh, it’s a bright red SNEAKER!!! It’s before I’ve finished my first coffee... And thanks for that helpful and informative article. Now, I know about Jane Straus and Grammarbook.com 😀

Finish coffee, then read. That's the write order, LOL. Jane's stuff is amazing! I've been a fan for about 15 years.
