When I come across an issue I feel particularly strongly about, it often turns into a post on my blog. Occasionally, my impassioned thoughts turn into less of an informal blog post and more of an article. This section of my website is for those blog posts (sometimes edited for further clarity), as well as for other articles I feel are worthy of permanent homes on the site.

The first article is based on a blog post I wrote in May, having read - yet again - some completely incorrect advice on eliminating 'passive voice' from your writing. I've come across this issue several times since - on writers' sites and, occasionally, while editing. With so much misinformation available, it seems to me important to give some room to correct information.

I hope to add a new article every couple of months - some for writers, some for readers, some entirely miscellaneous. Please check back again. And, of course, feel free to link here, or to quote my articles if you find them useful (crediting me as author, of course!).
