Books -- reading and writing.
Home, cooking, the weather.
And whatever connections I can make between these chapters of my life.

Em Dashes-- All you ever wanted to know.

For those of us raised in the world of proper English grammar and punctuation, where formal writing eschewed things like hastily struck lines to break up phrases, the dash thing can be confusing.

But don't trust me on this. Cheryl Klein, world famous editor extraordinaire, tells it all on this blogpost.
