Novel Errors

Today,
I’m
Editing,
Trying
To
Curb
My
Usage
Of
The
Passive
Verb.
This
Makes
My
Editor
Weep
And
Sigh,
As
I Keep
Unconsciously
Sneaking
Them
By.
I Tend
To
Write
The
Way
I Speak,
But
In
1817,
That’s
A
Squeak.
I Missed
Vital
Lessons
Somewhere
Back
There,
While
Drawing
In
The
Back
Of
The
Book,
And
Now
I’m
Taking
Another
Look.
