My friend Brent said he was searching for mug shots today, and who should appear before his little searching words on Google but this woman in her mug shot best.
I am so proud. And what a picture for google to show me by. *preens*
Brent is a true digital photographer, and as much or more voraciously consuming life with his little munching shutters as I.
I found a wonderful website on grammar and writing that has made me wake up to my sentences. Sponsored by the unknown group Capital Community College Foundation, it is an education in writing well, in a few packed pages. This section on sentence variety thrilled me by offering concrete writing advise, the likes of which I have not seen since elementary school.
I'm not sure if other students in my classes received more guidance than I, but I never received half of the lessons this website offers. Seeing these long, floridly complex sentences given validation has been a highlight of my week (aside from the dead bird and Mother's Day lunch sans utensils). I'm gobbling up technical explanations of then and than and conjunctive adverbs.
