Do you stumble over Gerunds?
Read the November 19th post over at The Kill Zone to find out if you need to rid your story of a few Gerunds.
I loved The Kill Zone’s post titled Gerunds Be Gone.
The Kill Zone is one of my go to blogs for good info, and today when I opened this email they didn’t disappoint. Once more their post was filled with a great reminder to watch out for sneaking little “ing” beings that are as scary as Gremlins.
Hmm, makes me wonder about the name Gerunds…
Check out The Kill Zone and see if your writing is filled with the little devils.
For additional help you might want to check out editing software Grammarly or Ginger. I use both.
Sorry for the short post today.
I gotta go Gerund hunting.
Thanks for the trackback!! 😊

I hate Gerunds. I used to host international students years ago, who asked me to help them with Gerunds. I had no idea what they were talking about. Now I DO. 😀

At times, I’m still a bit confused.

If it has -ing attached to the end, R-U-N.

LOL, I know but sometimes I write like I talk and that’s not always a good thing. Makes for more edits. 🙂

I followed the link. Very helpful. I think we all do this from time to time without realizing it.
