Friday’s Fun Find | Cathy C. Hall Writes

So I’ve started this post several times; I’m trying to come up with an intro to The Oatmeal and Grammar Comics and the semicolon. But I don’t have time to figure out all the mysteries of the universe, including what The Oatmeal is, so I’m moving on.

Personally, I know how to use a semicolon. Maybe you do, too. Maybe you don’t have a clue. Either way, you’re going to laugh out loud when you read How to Use a Semicolon. Same goes for 10 Words You Need To Stop Misspelling or The Three Most Common Uses of Irony.

Well, really, you’re going to laugh out loud at whichever Grammar Comic you read this Fun Friday, which is pretty much the point of Fun Friday.

I have no idea what the point of The Oatmeal is. (But there are posters of the Grammar Comics; slap the semicolon one on your classroom wall and your ninth graders will think you’re the coolest teacher ever. For, like, the first day.)

Despite the fact that I couldn’t display Rafflecopter for my giveaway of Katie Davis’ How to Promote Your Children’s Book, I still (sort of) managed to get Rafflecopter on the giveaway post.

I always like (sort of) learning something new. And the next time I have a giveaway (and it’s a good one!), I’ll use Rafflecopter and it will actually display in all its whirring glory. I hope.

Anyway, I learned a ton of promotional stuff–some old, some new–from Katie’s How to Promote Your Children’s Book. So if you didn’t win, you can still get this wonderful resource for a very moderate price. Not the same low price as before, but still a bargain.

And if you did win–that is to say, if you’re Barb Kupetz–then you can expect a lovely email from me and Katie Davis any day now.

I think that’s how a Kindle giveaway works. Sort of.
