Inhaltsangabe

Grammar Nazis Are Not Always Rite, Right, Write is based on a creative writing course I taught at a small university in the 1980’s. Because the course repudiated the majority of what the other English and Creative Writing Professors held as gospel truth they were constantly annoyed with me as to what they considered my disregard for the rules of English, Grammar, and the art of writing fiction. This is not always true but it is my belief that when it comes to writing fiction many of the grammar and punctuation rules can and should be ignored. Also, written in stone statements like, write what you know, never end a sentence with a preposition, and many more, are more times than not pure hogwash. The Professors were also grudgingly jealous of me because none of them had been published and at the time eight of my novels were published and well received. To my enjoyment the students thoroughly enjoyed the course and its philosophies. I tried my best to encourage each student to follow their own muse and not fall into the world of what ever one else decides or professes to be correct. Many of my students are now published by reputable presses. The rest have done what most people do who give up on a writing career – they either became alcoholics, some form of illegal substance addict, or teachers, a small percentage became alcohol and drug addicted teachers.
