Hurray for the serial comma. As a book editor and writing teacher, at my first job I literally slept with The Chicago Manual of Style under my pillow (really!), and I grew to love the simplicity of serial commas.
But the first step for any book writer is to get their story down on paper. Some newer book writers get so hung up on the editing process, the perfecting of each paragraph, the book never gets drafted.
Having published 12 books myself and worked on hundreds of books by other authors, I've learned that the storytelling must come first.
Editing is oh-so-essential, but after the draft is done.
Thanks for the comment, Mary.
