On being married to another writer

| 3 Comments

We're working on one of your stories
again, when suddenly drawn into a tangent
(angry?) on it's and its and how their confusion
is a pet peeve of mine. You say you can see
why the mistake, why not possession
indicated by apostrophe -- and I
reply that personal pronouns don't take
apostrophe, his, I rattle, hers theirs whose, and
whose work is this anyway, yours or mine?

I dashed up from the kitchen to write this, scorching the tortillas I left under the broiler. It's not literally true, but probably more otherwise true than I would care to admit.

Interesting! Pat and I get into similar arguement and I am NOT a writer.

Yes, but your husband has done a bang-up job on fixing my blog. I feel not unlike I've been rescued from the Forces of Evil (no, not the Bush White House....). I'd hang onto him if I were you! ;0)

Oh, I intend to hang on tight. The man's a catch. And I'm bonkers for him. I even intend to keep helping him with his writing, and letting him help me as he can.

(...but....)
