Today is National (US) Grammar Day, one of the high holy days for language lovers (along with free ice-cream day at Ben and Jerry’s). Dorks like me paint it as a fun time to celebrate English, but let’s be honest: it’s a slyly divisive holiday that’s generally observed entirely by pointing out how.

Fostering a community of creative writers through articles, comments, writing prompts and a healthy, supportive environment. Showing, not Telling. Your work will never be accepted if you don’t learn how to ‘Show and not tell.’. Great, not only did I not understand what it was, but now if I didn’t do it I’d be branded as an ignorant failure.
