The English teacher in me is screaming as I read through these queries. I spent lots of quality hot air trying to convince my students that they don't need phrases like, "I am going to write a book report about such and such" or "This will be about . . ." or "I believe you are going to . . ." Get rid of the first person, don't insult my intelligence by telling me something I can figure out on my own, and, as cliche as it may sound, show, don't tell. I've gotten through 4 queries so far, and now my baby girl is calling. More later :)

Sometimes putting oneself in someone else's shoes will kind of hit home like that.
Ooh, they are bringing the English teacher out in you!
I nominated you for a Lemonade Stand Award. When you get a chance, pop by my site. Congrats!
I agree. Every time someone made one of the mistakes we hear so much about I cringed, especially since they are people supposedly reading Nathan's blog.
I still have your cabbage patch doll. :) Mom
