After years of searching, I finally found a cheap copy of my favorite grammar textbook AND an exercise book to match. I am thrilled.

I know of someone who writes a quarterly report of his life and emails it to 20 or so of his closest confidants at the start of every season. It’s thoroughly detailed, complete with spreadsheets and photos.

Annie Dillard’s For the Time Being has been sitting atop my bookshelf for too long, so I was excited to finally read this book; she did not disappoint. I was inspired to take her writing methods and use them as revision exercises in my own writing.
