Grant Brünner: Bassguy

I have spent an inordinate amount of time sulking lately. Some blame the Winter. Some blame the rain. I blame myself, and I suppose that is from where the problem stems.

I rephrased that last sentence because I originally ended it with the word “From.” That is a preposition, and it is a no-no to end sentences with them. Frankly, I think using proper English in this situation makes your prose read like hell. As someone who fancies himself a writer, I think we need to recognize the rules in English, and then toss them out like yesterday’s bath water when we see fit. If it compromises flow or readability, that rule can take a hike. Rule number one with writing in English is “Break the effing rules if need be.”

So, I think I get in my own head too much, and that is where the problems come from.
