Monday Muddle: cite, sight, site
Thursday Thought #LCPlaunt
I’m often surprised by people who say that something is impossible when other commenters in the same post have already explained how to do it. Be open to new possibilities, and you will be amazed at what is possible.
Wednesday Writing
What’s new in the writing world? For anyone who sells their books on Amazon, this is pretty big news. Jeff Bezos is stepping down as CEO. What difference will that make to indie authors in the future? Perhaps none. His replacement has been working beside him for more than two decades. To be sure we will have to wait and see. More details in this article.

Monday Muddle: than, then
“I would rather have the cookie than the cake” does not mean the same as “I would rather have the cookie then the cake”.
Thursday Thought #AmandaGorman
Thursday Thought: Many of you know and love her already. If you don’t, her name is Amanda Gorman. I’ve seen her referred to as Amanda Forman and Amanda Harris, but her name is Amanda Gorman. She has two books coming out in September, a children’s book called Change Sings, and her debut book of poetry, The Hill We Climb, which includes the poem she delivered at the inauguration. If you are in the United States, you can preorder both through Cincy Book Bus (https://bookshop.org/shop/cincybookbus) and all the profits will be used to buy books for classroom libraries and children’s programs that promote literacy. You can follow Cincy Book Bus on Facebook and Instagram (@cincybookbus), and you can order Amanda’s books here:

Monday Muddle: marinade, marinate
Last week we saw that a space can make the difference between a noun and a verb. This week a single letter makes the difference. The more-frequent use of marinade as a verb in the last decade has led some dictionaries to accept it as an alternative, but it is still unacceptable to many. My recommendation, for the sake of clarity and to avoid harsh judgement from language purists, is to use marinate as the verb. Marinate has been in use as a verb since the 1640s.
