Joan McCain has created a new writing blog, Where The Comma Goes: Tips, tools, and techniques to be a faster, clearer and stronger writer. No grammar geek stuff, but fun hints for making your writing correct, reader-friendly and easy on you, too.
There are only three posts so far, but it looks like a good resource. She has a good sense of humor in her writing:
I will not make you learn grammar. I won't even bore you with too many grammar rules. I will share ways you can be a clear, to-the-point writer (of e-mail, of proposals, of thank you notes to your Aunt May) and spend less time doing it--mostly by avoiding the issues that cause grammar guffaws in the first place.Here's how it will work. At the first of each month, I'll post a lesson of sorts. A topic-specific blog on reader-friendly writing. Then each week I'll post a writer-on-the-street perspective and comment on the mistakes and misuses I see. And most importantly, how to recognize and avoid them.
I promise it will be fun. So log on, blog on and write on.
Check it out. (Thanx Chris)
