I’m the type to read a grammar manual front to back like a top twenty-five novel. anyways, I picked up The Pen Commandments: A Guide for the Beginning Writer. I [...] I’m horrible at remembering to turn library books in on time. actually, over the seven years I’ve had a library card, I’ve probably racked up and paid over $200 in fines.
