About writing

HERE ARE A FEW blog entries I found on writing and publishing:

There's a Washington Post column about the demise of the English language. It "dies" every time someone misuses it. In fact, the local newspaper, the Winston-Salem Journal, is mentioned prominently here. Another newspaper is cited for a story on "spading and neutering." Female dogs are spayed, not spaded. Males are neutered.

There's C. Hope Clark's blog on self-publishing meeting the traditional kind.

Here's a visual blog called And the Pursuit of Happiness. It's not really about writing and publishing — sorry — but I enjoy it.

Here's a blog entry by Don Fry on The Listening Pen.

Finally, here's a Snopes.com entry on the Million Dollar Comma.
