The email header simply said \u201cFor my editor.\u201d That\u2019s my friend, his wife, who proofreads the posts he writes for his photography blog, which is followed, he claims, by \u201ctens of subscribers.\u201d (If you\u2019re interested in the graves of dead U.S. presidents, vice presidents and Supreme Court Chief Justices, state capitol buildings, churches or Major League baseball stadiums, you should&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/imagesandmore.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">check it out<\/a>.

It was from the strip Non Sequitor by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gocomics.com\/nonsequitur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wiley Miller<\/a>, who is one of the sender\u2019s favorites. I at first mistook it as a political cartoon with petroglyphs representing our two-party system: The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ourwhitehouse.org\/the-donkey-and-the-elephant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Republicans\u2019 elephant and the Democrats\u2019 donkey<\/a>. (Maybe prehistoric donkeys had antlers?) I thought perhaps the middle bison-like image was some statement by frustrated citizens on both sides of the divide who think it\u2019s time for a functional third party to rise up in a bid for civility. (Which now has me wondering about the relative behavior of bison, mastodons and antlered donkeys.)<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-heading   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Random thoughts and story insights<\/h2>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>That\u2019s another wandering distraction but letting myself think this way can sometimes lead to an insight that sparks a creative metaphor or find patterns in a complex story or ask more interesting questions. It also can be annoying \u2014 for me and the hapless listener\/reader who stumbles into the thicket.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>A second look at the cartoon revealed, of course, that it\u2019s a clever wink at the \u201cgrammar police.\u201d And where that takes me is back to a core belief that storytelling has always been with us, as have core story forms. When the cave-dudes took ochre to rock, they were trying to inform, engage and make meaning for others. Perhaps they were expressing religious beliefs. Perhaps they were alerting people who passed by that there was a saber-toothed tiger threatening the \u2018hood. Perhaps they simply wanted to help their children know their small patch of an unknown world.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>It also reinforced by core belief that all writing is enhanced by respect for a few consistent rules. Things like grammar, syntax, punctuation, style and even spelling can and must flex with the times. But in writing that serves others \u2014 as journalism must \u2014 clarity is grounded in a basic consistency. Why make a reader struggle through a non-sequitur that muddles the message? If there really is a hungry tiger on the prowl, you don\u2019t want the readers to waste time arguing about whether saber-toothed should be hyphenated or is one word.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>On that note, I invite you to Google \u201csaber-tooth\u201d and go down your own rabbit hole of inconsistency. My understanding of the AP Style Guide calls for a hyphen. National Geographic makes it one word. Other places make it two words, no hyphen. Some use upper-case; others don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>That might seem like a why-bother-diss on style and grammar rules. Rather, it means honoring the usage for the publication or culture you\u2019re writing for and remaining consistent within a story.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The editor muses on how letting your mind wander can sometimes lead to more creative insights and writing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11175,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"topics":[],"authors":[3],"issue":[],"class_list":["post-11174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-from-the-editor","authors-jacqui-banaszynski"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
