Spelling, punctuation, and grammar - the bane of many a writer's existence. They're so basic and so complicated, and they can make the difference between a good story and a great story. Why do there have to be so many rules? Why are there so many exceptions to the rules? Why do we even care?
Answers: English is weird. And we are writers.
In this book, I will attempt to demystify the mystifying and share what I've learned about this often painful subject, along with other tips and tricks I've picked up along my writing journey. I am by no means an expert, but hopefully, I can help a little. And if something I say is wrong or could be stated better, by all means, let me know. We're all stuck in this ocean of mismatched letters and punctuation marks together.
