    The research article with Tasha was very informative. I have, sadly, gotten caught up in my own research and put too much in, then had to edit it out. The good thing being I might already have scenes written for future novels now. I’ll be glad when I can visit the places I’ve only been able to research through books. I have a setting in Puerto Rico in my second novel and I’m afraid it reads too much like a travel guide.

    Lori Storm’s THE LIBRARY was interesting. I only remember going to the library as class field trips, or a rare occasion with my Mom and it was a rushed experience. I especially liked this from Lori’s ending: Going into the library, even now, is like entering a comforting world filled with endless possibilities for new experiences.

    GET IT RIGHT: That was neat. How about these commonly misused words; affect and effect.

    And MaryRose suggested: then and than, who and whom for “Get it -write- Right”. All great suggestions, look for those soon! Glad you enjoyed this issue, Donna. :)

    And another that just came to mind in looking for ways to remember the differences between word uses and spellings: lay vs. lie.
