Day 218 of the "What are you reading, and why?" project and I am reading The Correct Spelling & Exact Meaning, by Richard Jones, because he is one of my favorite poets, and a mentor!
And because I love correct spelling, punctuation, and exact meaning. I like the comma before the "and" in a list. Business punctuation, that trend that took the comma out, destroys the exact meaning. Sigh....
And I love these pencils, posted by Dorianne Laux at Facebook. Another favorite poet.
And I love the alphabet. And erasers.

But I do allow myself the judicious sentence fragment! And way too many exclamation points!!
Sentence fragments are the sherbet between delicious sentences. Did I spell that right?
I am almost afraid to write something because my grammar and spelling "ain't what they should be" but I will anyway.
I see from your older blogs that here is a place I can get ideas for some REALLY GOOD BOOKS to read. Thanks, Kathy.
Hi, Ellen! Yep, that's what we do here: books!
About spelling, fear not! As my sister's yoga book reassures me, "Be yourSLEF!" We are all imperfect in such a lovely variety of ways!
Kathy,
Love love love the pencils posted by Dorianne!
The photo has inspired me to start some kind of creative project. I need to get my paints out of the closet!
Thanks.
