NaNoWriMo Writers! Keep going!
Today is day 12 of National Novel Writing Month. Week two is notoriously difficult for those participating in the marathon of novel-writing. Don’t give up! According to NaNoWriMo.org, by the end of the day, writers should be at about 20,000 of 50,000 words.
What are your writing goals for today? How are you doing?
Which punctuation mark are you most "thankful" for in your writing?
Throughout this week, we are running a poll on our Facebook page. With Thanksgiving Day coming up in the U.S.A., we want to know which punctuation marks our followers most appreciate when writing. Let us know what you think by visiting the poll on our Facebook page.

Recently, Cheryl Conner, a contributor at Forbes, wrote the article, “I Don’t Tolerate Poor Grammar.” In the piece, Conner outlines how poor grammar and writing have become common among the millennial-age work force and how some companies are beginning to crack down on these problems in the work place. Initially, the author was concerned that the “epidemic” of poor writing was a new inevitability, but—in learning about Grammarly—found some hope for the future of grammar.
Do you or would you tolerate poor grammar in the workplace and under which circumstances? Is poor grammar inevitable in today’s world?
