Beginning today, I am going to list the questions I have already answered about writing. The date at the end of the question is the date on which I have published my answer. Just go to the month in the “Blog Archive” on the right of the blog. Click on the month and find the date and my answer. Many thanks to those who have responded to “Q & A on Writing.” I had fun writing it. Some of you have expressed gratitude for my explanations and I appreciate your comments. It will take several days to finish my review of the questions that I have answered. RayS.
