"Between You & Me: Confession of a Comma Queen"
And this book coincidentally was published in 2015!
Dear everyone,
This is not my first attempt (ever since I came back at this beautiful library i had a mind of encountering some beautiful books) and I would love to share with you, staff and members and partners in our Substack community all my start-up even if I'm not growing quick enough. And thank you for your sincere patience.
When your mind could have a space for a good rest, so would your connection. No matter what, here is a library so I guess no one would come in to attack me for reading something and reviewing something else while creating my own projects. I hope so.
And my review goes very super natural with the connections:
"We knew she liked Trollope and loved jazz. She lived on Horatio Street, in Greenwich Village. She once dated J.D. Salinger. Back in the sixties, she had written letters to the Village Voice, tangling with Norman Mailer..."
Did anything above sound like you? The writer was being very sincere and honest with her approach and purpose in the opening chapter.
It's not me, either. But I do wish that I could gain a successful pitch for my βLetters With Sethβ and so on!
And this definitely is an exercise for the accomplishments like Emily's walkers club -:)
#First reason: im not putting a cup in front of me and i don't say that's donation unless it's from church and I self-recognize as a worker;
#Second reason: im not calling for random participants but even if im not using the library space but sitting by the roadside there would be a person if not a real dog, a car and many cars and a few of them beeped, and some people would call cops as for their own participation as well;
#Third, if they're aware of what they are super craving for and they should understand their way for their choice;
#Forth, I could pick any book, just like any headcount -- that's why randomness is shit, shittier than random houses π π‘
The good prose in the Notes, before the Epilogue of this book -- after the manifesting verse up in my mind, "If you are not mature enough, maybe you could go back to your mother's pussy and stay there for ten years more and then you would definitely be overly mature if not dead in there"-: Verse, not Corpse -- is in a more make-sense order:
139 Today, the entire archive (is it about βChicago Todayβ, Hamish?)
142 "You must wait - you" (who?)
143 "She was bad; but" (i called many nice persons this day I swear for help)
143 "Poor Catherine was conscious" (it's totally not my fault that noises should be controlled more for super sensitive people -- or there would be some mis-schedule, like this attempt?)
148 "whether there would be life" (that's odd, though -- even though people say totoro all the time, but it seems they never take themselves, the humans, as part of the very real surroundings! They are not separate while they think they are separate?!)
#Fifth, the writer of the book, is also willing to spread her adventure experience:
"One of the things I like about my job is that it draws on the entire person, not just your knowledge (nor just your language of drama:) of grammar and punctuation and usage and foreign languages and literature but also your experience of travel, gardening, shipping, singing, plumbing, Catholicism, midwesternism, mozzarella, the A train, New Jersey. And in turn it feeds you more experience. In hierarchy of prose goddesses, I am way, way down the list. But what expertise I have acquired I want to pass along."
Awesome!
What else could be passed along from random reading experience? Well, im a "niche"creator so I would put something significant my current niche related, also with a significant discovery that I thought was shared only between Prince Harry and me: (on page 6) "β¦while Peter was away on business, he let me sit in his office and look through bound volumes of the magazine. At the Morgan Library, in an exhibit of books that had belonged to writers, I found a grammar mistake the wall label accompanying Thurber's copy of Hemingway's (!) Green Hills of Africa, in which he had made pencil drawings of Papa and Memesahib (oops: Memsahib was the correct spelling from Mary Norris) on safari. (not Safari)"
I am exhausted... It is a craft, and it is a job! And I hope you will enjoy this amazing book by Mary Norris. Here is the dedicated copy for you of Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen ! (Paperback & Hardcover)
Hopefully soon I'll be able to sell tickets for my own club as well β€οΈβπ©Ή π
