Strunkianism #3

Our four calendars, two e-types and two not so much, warned us of the approach of Thanksgiving, which equates to relatives. The numbers are increasing. Their nonrestrictive numbers are spread unevenly throughout the four day festivities. The thoughts of a restrictive author schedule, yet again imposed on my writing world, sends my characters, Trevor and Catherine of Gray Lace, into “having a fit and falling in it”, as my mother used to say.

Revising Chapter 13 of Gray Lace, with the appearance of Trevor’s younger brothers, was fun to read. Oh, it was, as usual, full of missing grammatical marks, if anything can be full of missing anything. The pages had room for vocabulary improvements, but still fun. However, Chapter 14 was riddled with deadly head-hopping and Catherine could not make up her mind about Trevor’s exuberant and nonrestrictive relatives.

Enough!
