Random Tip for Thursday:

If you begin a sentence with an introductory word, phrase, or clause, use a comma between it and the subject:

Yes, Jenny can help you.
To me, the cake tasted wonderful.
With a pounding heart, Jim awaited Pam's answer.
Since Ben wasn't there, I went home.

Happy ! It's National Sloth Day, in case you weren't aware--the "three-toed" kind as opposed to the "deadly sin" kind. However, you don't have to be in a rush to celebrate. Just get to it when you can. 😉

Random Tip:

Test for "its/it's" or "your/you're" by remembering that the apostrophe marks the contraction form. Therefore, if "it is" or "you are" makes sense in the sentence ("It's Friday" = "It is Friday"), use the contraction form.

Enjoy -- and happy Friday! 😃✍📖

New Editor's Blog post up on the Ibis Editorial website! This one is all about tips and tricks for switching gears between writing your own work and revising it. (Hint: The "clutch" in this metaphor = time off between writing and revising + reading with a critical eye.) Check it out!
