We’re seldom called on our punctuation errors when we text, tweet, status update, email and blog. However, punctuation remains important to comprehension, as shown by the following famous anecdote.

A professor told his students to punctuation this sentence: Woman without her man is nothing. The male students all used this punctuation: Woman, without her man, is nothing. The female students all used this punctuation: Woman: without her, man is nothing.

I still struggle with commas and other types of punctuation. That’s why I was delighted to find a short, simple guide among today’s Amazon freebies. I also found a writer’s guide to the creative process. The two, I think, go hand-in-hand. First, you must have your creative explosions. Sweating the details will hamper you. After the first draft come the revisions, correct punctuation and all the fiddly bits that make for good craft.

  Punctuation: The Shortest, Simplest, Most Lighthearted Guide, Ever by S.J. Sebellin-Ross
The goal was simple: to make punctuation easy. Maybe even fun. And the result is this: the shortest, simplest, most lighthearted guide to punctuation, ever. You’ll learn how to use the punctuation that has confounded you for years: the ellipsis, the semicolon, the double and single quotation marks, all the different dashes and their cousin, the hyphen, and more, including the always troublesome apostrophe. And you’ll learn it with clear and simple explanations. What? No time for even that? No problem — there is also a fantastic cheat sheet when even a few paragraphs of explanation is too much.

  Write Time: Guide to the Creative Process, from Vision through Revision-and Beyond by Kenneth Atchity
In this foundational guide to the writer’s mind and productivity used by thousands of writers worldwide since its original publication, called by The New York Times “the best…book on writing,” Dr. Atchity shows how the detailed steps of the creative process interface with the writer’s greatest asset, time, to provide both creative success and peace of mind.
