LOL<br /><br />Hi Sia, yes, always write for flow first- the edit later. Some people are so hung up on edits they never get the book done.<br /><br />Hi Linda, glad you like the rule. It's kind of cool, isn't it? :) We knew it all along. Cheers~Nancy J.

Many are long forgotten, now. It's easier to remember how it should sound. It helped when that my parents spoke properly and corrected us when we didn't.<br /><br />I do find that when I have to think about using proper grammar, the words don't flow smoothly. I'm too busy trying to access the rules in my head, lol! Usually, I let the words flow and then go back and check them.<br /><br />I have several reference books on my shelf--just in case.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.siamckye.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye's Thoughts...OVER COFFEE</a><br /><br /><br />intuit~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797742184466184860.post-8344632608029972662011-08-23T16:42:01.843-05:002011-08-23T16:42:01.843-05:00I'm like you, I never used to know why I said ...I'm like you, I never used to know why I said something but just knew it sound right.
