Today is National Grammar Day!
Let's not make it a day to complain about poor writing. Let's make it a day to encourage and celebrate good writing!
If you have read a story recently that contained beautiful writing, single out a favorite passage and tell the author how much you enjoyed it. Leave the feedback out in the open where everyone can see it, so that other authors will see that beautiful writing is rewarded, and they'll aspire to write beautifully, too. If the story isn't f-locked, praise it on your LJ and include a link.
Fandom grammarians spend a lot of time pulling weeds, a noble and important work. Let's cultivate the flowers, too!
