My life has been shaped by words.
At age three, I startled my family by reading/reciting alphabetically local streets and dazzled them by reading random words in the dictionary.
My grandmother, a self-taught English speaker, furthered my words worship by regularly giving me the Reader’s Digest feature, “Increase Your Word Power” to learn spelling and meaning.
Not surprisingly, my career is in writing words.
Spurred by the diminishing care and concern for quality in writing, I have created this blog and invite submissions to chronicle this unfortunate occurrence—and reinvigorate a disappearing craft.

A serious blunder in the "Wrangling with Writing" catalog for an authors' conference:
Three authors and presenters write:
"I will offer advise to writers on short fiction," etc.
Take my advice. Don't switch the noun with the verb.
