Always love your tips, Jennifer. Always makes me want to pull up my last post and make sure I didn't make that mistake ): I have to be careful with overuse of commas. So a good reminder for sure.
That "started to" is a real bugaboo of mine too. I am a guilty comma-overuser, as you well know, having edited my manuscripts. We all can learn a lot from you, dear Editor on Board. Thanks.
WOW there's so much to learn from this post! I didn't know any of these things and you laid them out in a way that makes complete sense. I'll work on all of this going forward PS Thanks for the shout-out, it was such a fun chat! Next time we'll get the technical shit dialed in on our laptops ;)

I ofyen have typos in my Substack. It's very different to see these sort of mistakes in published books!
Whew, off the hook!!
More good advice. Thanks!

It has been a long time since high school English for most of us!
I like when you share my pet peeves!
