I'm an aspiring writer, and I'm also quite stingy about using proper grammar. I used to be on a website called inkpop.com (back in the day before it was sold to Figment), and I was asked to write a guide to proper grammar on there. There'll be writing advice too, but this isn't a blog on writing. I should say that I do actually teach English. I'm stronger on UK English grammar than on US grammar, but I do mostly know what I'm talking about.
Since I live abroad, I'm often asked about what it's like. I'll also be documenting a few things about that. Then there'll be lots of random stuff in between. I'm happy to do posts on things that I'm asked to do, provided it's sensible. I can get philosophical, and I'm also the type of person who'll start analysing something if I'm left alone for longer than three minutes.
For those of you who may not have been to England, I'll also occasionally introduce you to the awesomeness that is my home country. If I'm in the mood, I might also put an odd phrase/quote/thing up each week.
I can't promise to post daily or on a totally regular basis as I'm busy person (and not always thinking in English, which makes it hard to write in English at the same time), but each type of post (e.g. A Brit Abroad, Writing Advice, etc.) will come out on the same day of the week as other posts on that theme have come out. My basic plan for a timetable (though I may not stick to it, and I definitely won't be posting each day every week) is something like this: Mondays -- grammar (a.k.a. The Dummy's Guide on How Not to Assassinate the English Language); Tuesdays -- random or requested stuff (a.k.a. The Random Corner); Wednesdays -- anything to do with Britain (a.k.a. Top Hat, Old Chap!/Meet the Island); Thursdays -- writing advice (a.k.a. Why Write?); Fridays -- living/going abroad (a.k.a. A Brit Abroad). I probably won't post at weekends.
Hope you guys enjoy!
The British Girl.
