NFW TO CRITIQUE
AT AUG. 13 MEETING
AT WILLOWBRANCH
The
North Florida Writers meeting will be at the Willowbranch library on
the second Saturday of the month (Aug. 13) at 2 p.m. The public is
welcome to attend.
The NFW will also critique manuscripts at the meeting.
The
critique process has people other than the author of respective works
read aloud the submissions (up to 10 double-spaced pages of prose, and
reasonable amounts of poetry or lyrics). Authors
may not defend their work, but they should listen to the words and
rhythms of their creations.
Willowbranch is located in Riverside at
2875 Park St., Jax 32205, but, if you are unfamiliar with area, go to
http://jpl.coj.net/lib/branches/wbb.html

WRITER, LET ME INTRODUCE
YOU TO SMASHWORDS
By JOY V. SMITH
A friend introduced me to Smashwords, and I recently published my first ebook,
Remodeling: Buying and Updating a Foreclosure,
which is about how one woman and her family coped with selling a house.
It starts with looking for a new house, buying a new house that was a
foreclosure,
taking care of the needed repairs, and then remodeling it since it
didn't even have a kitchen sink!
This book should be helpful to anyone coping with a remodeling project.
The cover was designed by SF author and poet, Vincent Miskell, the friend who introduced me to Smashbooks. (Having
a cover is essential for ebooks, and I was really worried until he volunteered to help me.)

THE
WRONG
STUFF – FORENSIC GRAMMAR
By HOWARD DENSON
AOL-Huffington Post story:
After a 15-minute delay, the Weber's were back on the road, but with a baby-gift of a $1,000 speeding ticket,
and time running out. . . .
Fortunately, the Weber's baby was born healthy at the hospital, but it
was a dangerously close call. According to the couple's doctor,
Genevieve's uterus was very nearly ruptured.
W.S.
SAYS: It is terrible when someone becomes infected with a bad case of
apostrophes. In the two sentences from a
news story, neither apostrophe is needed. People persist in adding
apostrophes when referring to families, as in a welcome mat: “The
Smith’s / Welcome to our home.” No, just write “The Smiths.” If a name
ends in “s,” then things get complicated: “The Jones’”
is wrong, and “The Jones’s” is even worse. No one would believe that the
correct plural is “The Joneses,” so avoid it by writing “The Jones
Family.”
**
Clarence Page in op-ed column on the U.K.’s phone hacking scandal:
Even the most straight-laced reporters sometimes envy the fun the scandal sheet folks must have, chasing scoops
at all costs.
W.S.
SAYS: The historically correct expression is “strait-laced,” but some
dictionaries will illogically accept “straight-laced.”
The point in the correct usage is that the lace has been tightened; it’s
as narrow as the Straits of McGillicutty, you see?
**
Charles Babington, Associated Press story on the debt crisis:
The miscalculation lead to an announcement Tuesday night that a vote on a plan to trade spending cuts for a debt
ceiling increase was postponed from today to Thursday.
W.S. SAYS: Reporters, editors, and proof-readers do need to get the lead out of their system. “I lead today, but you
led us yesterday.”
**
“Painting by numbers:
Digital analysis is invading the world of the connoisseur” (The Economist):
Dalí and Ernst, by contrast, were farther apart then expected.
W.S. SAYS: So close, but so different. “Than” is for comparisons; “then” is for time references (adverbs).
**
Paige Braddock, “Jane’s World” comic strip:
Look, Ethan, I’m making changes in my life. I’m sorry that these changes effect you.
W.S.
SAYS: It’s “affect,” of course. Most of the time, when you are using a
verb and have to choose between “affect”
and “effect,” it’s going to be “affect.” If you have a five-step plan to
implement, then you might write something like “the committee will
effect the plan over a seven-month period.”
**
Jim Schoettler, “Link of victim, motorist probed” (Florida Times-Union):
Nelson said the driver drove the truck to the road’s shoulder, inspected the vehicle and laid down along its side
as if he were going to sleep.
W.S. SAYS: When do we use “lie” and “lay”? If someone or something is reclining, then you want to use “he lies down
today,” “he lay down yesterday,” and “he has lain down for an hour.” You’re right: Nobody says “lain,” except maybe Clark Kent.

BARBARIANS
PAST
THE GATES
One of this newsletter’s Gentle Readers has recommended that we include
a section that calls attention to a word or words that are used by people who don’t understand that better usage is out there.
These folks know to avoid such expressions as “I seen him do it”
or “He shouldn’t have ran into the fence.” But they might be saying or
writing “If I would have known” and the like.
The
intent is to keep the column short and generally anonymous. (You may
call yourself something like “Publius,” “Claudius,” or “Auspicious.”)
**
Something I learned while looking other things up: the spelling of
numskull. – Dubious
**
Vogue pronunciation:
controverseeal (as though contravershul is not adequate for today’s sensibilities). – Dubious
**
Please avoid
Year over year, gave the appearance of, made the decision, a variety of different options. These
are all too rampant and denote a lack of consciousness of words that writers must not fall prey to.
– Dubious
**
I was listening to an audio book of a 19th
Century work and thought I heard the writer refer to something like “he
has
slidden,” supposedly a past participle for “slide.” A dictionary check
reveals that Merriam Webster dodged the question. “The Oxford English
Dictionary” online gave “slid” as both the past tense and the past
participle. – Nebulous

From Here to Eternity
-- The Restored Edition
What
did “From Here to Eternity” look like before the publishing house toned
it down? Harold Augenbraum finds a more interesting book in James
Jones’ original words.

‘Gatsby’
Without
Greatness
“The
Great Gatsby” has been dumbed down, and down, and even further down,
supposedly because kiddies of a certain age level need such an edition.

Emily Witt
explores the summers of love at writers’ getaways in
the state of New York, from Yaddo, to MacDowell, to Millay and Ledig
House. With anxious spouses left at home with the wee ones, do the
writers get on with writing or simply get it on?

How to Blog
Like
Andrew Sullivan
Andrew Sullivan
says he has a couple of
rules for blogs: “. . . [I]f it isn’t updated at least twice a day it’s
not a blog, it’s a website. So don’t fool yourself that you’re blogging
when you’re really just putting stuff up online. And twice a day is sort
of, I think, the minimum. I think a blog
to live really has to be probably four or five times a day.” Check out

In a menacing world,
we flee into thrillers
Writing
for London’s Telegraph, Philip Hensher says the thriller dominates both
the Booker Prize longlist and the bestseller charts.
It has become society's favorite means of escape.

What Mimicking One’s Language
Style May Mean
About the Relationship
People
match each other's language styles more during happier periods of their
relationship than at other times, according to new research from
psychologists at The University
of Texas at Austin.
"When
two people start a conversation, they usually begin talking alike
within a matter of seconds," says James Pennebaker, psychology professor
and co-author of the study.
"This also happens when people read a book or watch a movie. As soon as
the credits roll, they find themselves talking like the author or the
central characters."

against scientists who “guest author” papers written by drugs companies.
