On Writing

This page is intended to list topics I intend to address, or have already written about, with regard to writing, grammar, editing, and the like. A sub-page has links to resources I use, which may, or may not, be included in my blogroll. I’m hopeful this section of the Aerie will be fairly dynamic, and I will endeavor to keep it current as I publish more articles.

Currently, comments are open for your suggestions on topics of discussion; however, I’d prefer this not become a discussion page in itself. Rather, I’d like to see the discussion take place in the comments sections of the various articles.
