== Quick note about my grammar, usage and writing skills ==
   −
I just bought 10 books on grammar, usage and writing skills. Part of my income requires that I serve as a copy editor. Some of the books I purchased are classics in this genre such as ''[https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Style-Fourth-William-Strunk/dp/020530902X The Elements of Style]'' and [https://www.amazon.com/Writing-Well-Classic-Guide-Nonfiction/dp/0060891548/ref=pd_bxgy_img_sccl_1/134-2497367-6495400?pd_rd_w=XXMjm&content-id=amzn1.sym.7757a8b5-874e-4a67-9d85-54ed32f01737&pf_rd_p=7757a8b5-874e-4a67-9d85-54ed32f01737&pf_rd_r=DRH7YHHE7GY8EXA2KFWW&pd_rd_wg=dc7Wl&pd_rd_r=d9dbf451-20a0-4cd8-bb27-99bec0d1e30e&pd_rd_i=0060891548&psc=1 ''On Writing Well'']. Before I read/review these books, I am using the software platforms Grammarly and ProWritingAid. Thanks for past encouragement to up my writing skills. I had a very tough English professor in college and worked as a writing tutor at a major university for four semesters, but there is always room for improvement.  And just when I decided to up my grammar/usage/writing game, some colleges no longer require SAT scores as far as their acceptance process so it will be harder to earn side hustle money from being a writing tutor and college preparation tutor! Life is so unfair!

Also, I am upping my skills in several areas so so you might want to check if I take up the "66-day non-wiki editing challenge" (As you probably are aware, a study indicates that it takes the average person 66 days to establish a new habit[https://psychcentral.com/blog/need-to-form-a-new-habit-66-days]).
