a case for chaste characters



My poor characters will be living the upright, nay, uptight life, with no rest in sight because I can never keep these straight.

(Lexi and I just returned from a field trip to the Columbia River and I am beginning to thaw out, get dinner on the table. Days like these make me wonder why I didn't become a teacher. And no, I'm not being a sass mouth.)

Oh, I totally thought you were being a sass mouth because I dreaded field trips as a teacher!

I love grammar girl but she makes me feel really dumb sometimes. ;)

I know the rules but my fingers miss them sometimes (your, you're and who's, whose)

If you turn your characters into sparkly vampires, they'll never need to lay down.

Dude, I have a degree in English Education and these words give me pause.

I think I need to lie down. Or lay my head on a pillow. ??
