I'm a genre-lover and language nerd who likes to write about the fascinating effects of genres (like grocery lists, blogs, and greeting cards, as well as mysteries and romances) on how we read and write and even live our lives. I also notice grammar a lot, both the "proper" kind and the fun kind, like grammar jokes. For more, read my post on "What I Notice." I write this blog weekly to point out what I see and in hopes that you will tell me what you see, too.

Would you like to be notified when I publish a new post?
