Writers and editors

Freelance network: If you're a freelancer, check out the Freelance Writers and Editors network on Yahoo. I think you'll be glad you did.

Followers: I see that this blog has attracted lots of followers. Greetings and welcome to you all. I'm thrilled, and a bit humbled, that you're here. If you have any comments or suggestions for blog entries, I'd like to hear them.

Blogs: If you have an editing or writing blog (or if you have a particular entry you're proud of), let me hear about it. It doesn't even have to be a writing or editing blog. I just like good writing. Thanks.

Check it out: You might look at Funds for Writers, which specializes in grants for writers.

Blocked kick?

I just found a headline online just now that said that Titans punter takes blocked kick for first down.

Actually, he didn't carry the ball after a blocked kick. It was a blocked punt.


I suspect the headline writer didn't want to put "punter" and "punt" in the same headline. So he/she came up with an incorrect headline.
