I was very much both inspired and intrigued after reading through this blog. One of my favorites was, ” Moral of the Story: Black Eye Edition” which is one of her newer posts.

She speaks from the heart and keeps it REAL. Gotta love that!
Her throw grammar to the wind way of writing is also refreshing.

This is one of my daily reads.

I had a YouTube video around here somewhere, about grammar, I’ll post it for you after bit!

Naomi hit one that’s near and dear to my heart, too: “I read stuff out loud to make sure I’m not repeating words.” Yes, yes. And to make sure it has a good rhythm and sounds natural. When I write it’s critical to me to write how I sound. So I often stop and read my writing to see if it sounds like something I’d say. That way I’ll notice if I’ve gotten too puffed up and academic for my own good, which otherwise is a danger.

I also like to put work away for a day, then read it out loud. The funniest thing is that a day later, I may not know what I meant. (Sleepy writing, as Naomi says, is usually the cause.) If I don’t know, how the heck will anyone else know?

If I die under the wheels of a bus tomorrow, I *do* want to have spent today worrying about my grammar. That’s the kind of gal I am.

Great interview!

Regards,

Kelly

I learned a great deal from Naomi’s answers. I love her comment about grammar and the bus.
