Love it! This made my very early morning! đ
As promised, a post about grammar is finally here! (I know, you were all waiting for it with bated breath, right? đ )
Anyway, Iâm sure youâve all read posts about how grammar is importantâvery true, given that youâll be hard-pressed to get an editor to even look at your work if itâs full of comma splices, misplaced modifiers, and dangling participles.
Itâs all fun and games until someone eats grandpa.

âNormalâ grammar looks at the structure of sentences and investigates how words and clauses fit togetherâdiscourse grammar does that, too, though such investigations are handled a little differently. However, one thing grammar discourse does that ânormalâ grammar doesnât is that it looks not only at how words come together to form sentences, but how sentences form paragraphs, scenes, chapters, whole books.
