I Write LikeMy favorite book by Margaret Atwood is not The Handmaid's Tale, though, but this one.
JL Lycette MD, author🩺📚Hey everyone! I have exciting #author news. I've been informed by my publisher that my ebooks are now available in #libraries!
If you’re an #ebook reader, you can request them on #Libby, or directly from your librarian. (If you’ve already read them, the act of still requesting and checking them out will prompt libraries to add to their catalogs, or so I’m told). Thanks for considering helping an author out!

RS, Author, Novelist, ProsaistI like the company of authors my writing is keeping. See my emphasis below.
Grammar B is an alternate “grammar of style” that deploys variegation, synchronicity, discontinuity, ambiguity, and other disjunctive devices. Grammar B is not bad Grammar A. Weathers characterizes it as a different game, with its own rules, played with the same deck of cards. Grammar B is not new, nor was it invented by Winston Weathers. Writers as diverse in style and time as Laurence Sterne, William Blake, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, and D. H. Lawrence have played this game.

Yeah, I write. Grammar B. Mostly, except when I revise the beautiful monster out during revision. Not a fan of the classics, but I'm taking suggestionss for an Emily Dickinson novel, now.

@rayckeith Yep, Grammar B is the way I tend to write and have always written that way, even when I started out, though thanks to pressure from my agent, I abandoned that adventure for a decade or two. I have that book, thanks to @jredlund who recognized what I am doing and recommended I read it. Read with caution. It is both an argument for Grammar B's existence and a guide to style. Like any other technique, it behooves the practitioner to understand what they are doing, to mete out its the fabulosity to benefit the situation. Or to not use it. At all. Revision reaps what composition sows. It is where better sense and sober minds prevail.
