Are you ever in doubt about anything, be it grammar or vocabulary or some other nerdy writer conundrum?
I am, and based on what I read even in major bestsellers, everyone is. There is no shame in ignorance, as long as you proceed to remedy it ;)
EXAMPLES
Run by the church or (ran by the church)?
Do seagulls caw? No, they scream or cry.
The (car’s door) or the car door?
(If it was) or if it were?
Nico and I disagree or (Nico and me)?
Mom and Dad’s bedroom or (Mom’s and Dad’s bedroom)?
I could go on forever. How do you find answers?
My google history is a trail of grammar blogs. Consult the internet and don’t be afraid to ask fellow writers either in person (writers groups are a great resource in my opinion, but feel free to message me on twitter or Tumblr) or Online (I recommend the Indie author Group on Facebook they're AWESOME!)
Never stop learning! Every new day will see you a better writer <3
Who am I to give you advice?

The books were produced through my own, small, indie press, Kuki Publishing. I am not working for a big publisher. I do not have a big budget. I simply worked really hard to make my dreams come true and I do whatever I can to help new authors do the same :)
