The hairs on the back of my neck were at full attention that night while I was finding my way through the swampy forest, thunder and lightening flashing, rain pouring down and threatening to extinguish the torch in my hand.

That might be the first sentence in my future novel. Does that make you interested in wanting to read more? haha

Well, anyway, I just wanted to share a couple of my favorite online reference tools that I use often when writing copy and/or blog posts. You see, having come from a work background of quality control, then technical writing in the quality assurance arena, I'm a stickler for correct spelling and proper grammar, especially when used in our marketing arena.

I know there's some that think it's not so important, and I'm not going to argue the point. I just think that the more attention that's paid to getting it correct lends more of an air of knowledgeable authority to what's written.

At the very least, you won't draw in the trolls telling you every little typo you've so blatantly forced onto the internet world! ;)

Okay, enough of my rant. Enjoy these as you may, and happy writing!

My favorite online dictionary: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/

Yours in success,
