I'm a graduate of The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Arts in English, so you know I'm legit there. My GPA was 3.79 and would have been higher if I hadn't have had to take things like logic or rocks.
For the past three years I've been a writing tutor, working one-on-one and online with students from across the disciplines with their projects. I've discussed brainstorming for a poem a girl wanted to write for her boyfriend for Valentine's Day and copy edited a graduate thesis, assisted students who spoke English as a second language craft narratives about their travels to America and talked freshman through their first-ever college writing assignments. I've by no means read and worked with it all, but I've seen plenty of unedited, unprofessional pieces and I've appreciated every word.
To write is to bare your soul. I know, that's hokey, but it's true.
However, despite the awesomeness I just spun, I feel as though I have to inform you that I am not, in fact, grammatically perfect. As I am writing, researching, and editing all of these blog posts alone, I am bound to make several typos. On top of that my grammar is flawed in the way that most writers' is. This is partly due to my addition of lots of extras in my sentences leading to an overabundance of commas, colons, semicolons, and dashes, but also just because I mess up sometimes. We all do. I will promise, though, if I ever post on the actual topic of grammar that I will try my utmost to be correct.
