The Elements of Style by Strunk and White – The Rap Version

25/08/2015 by Craig Turner Leave a Comment

A lot of authors (and editors) consider Strunk and White’s [easyazon_link identifier=”B006TH2CYU” locale=”US” tag=”craiturn06-20″]Elements of Style[/easyazon_link]  to be the definitive guide to English usage. I certainly won’t argue with authorities like Stephen King. No matter what you think of his stories, his book about writing, titled oddly enough,  [easyazon_link identifier=”1439156816″ locale=”US” tag=”craiturn06-20″]On Writing[/easyazon_link] is brilliant.

I’ve wanted to write for a long time. I don’t know how long, but for long enough that I can’t remember a time when I didn’t think about writing. I worked in the Croxton Park Hotel straight out of university. I started off as a bottle shop attendant. We opened at 8am, and even though I was […]

We just bought a Nissan X-Trail, in preparation to an addition to our family…yes we downsized our car as our family gets bigger 🙂 There is method in the madness, but thats not the purpose of this post. So much has changed since I bought a new car only seven years ago (a Nissan Patrol), […]
