correctness

I can say without question that I am not confident in my writing. More specifically I am always worried about correctness. Especially with the grammar and punctuation. I think the book "Rules of Thumb" can be very helpful. My biggest challenge is going to be remembering to use it. I think the best thing I can do with it, is place it right on my computer desk so I will remember I have it and it is easily accessible. The pages on how to cite, and how to fix a run-on sentence will be the most used. The conversation we had in class was very interesting to me because I find myself worried about correctness in every type of writing I do, even when I am just text messaging a friend. If I am not sure about the spelling of a word I will go look it up before I can send the text. This is mostly because my friends know that I want to be a teacher and most people hold teachers to higher standards when it comes to correctness.
