Sometimes I have grammar anxiety. Not so much as it relates to writing on my blog, but for certain writing projects. I fear dangling a participle (no one wants to see that), misplacing quotes, using too many commas, or not controlling shifts in verb tense . In some ways the fear is irrational, but real none the less.
I have found some help. If you suffer from grammar anxiety I suggest the following:
40+ Tips to Improve Your Grammar (Very helpful info and exercises)
Eats, Shoots, and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation (Makes punctuation fun and funny!)
I just reinvent the rules and make up my own grammar - it relieves a lot of the tension. :-)
Break free from the grammar-ness irrationality.
