I even got to take an M&M off of Mr. Anderson's desk! <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I have a burning technical writing type question/problem that is plaguing my prose:<BR/><BR/>I'm missing an awful lot of passive verbs in my writing. I can't seem to identify the buggers, and grammar books confuse me - how do I find and kill them?<BR/><BR/>REgarding the use of infinitive forms of verbs: to find, to present etc? What's the scoop on them? I usually trip on them when reading, but have been advised to replace my passive verbs with infinitives... help?D.

I really do like seeing that fiction is getting recognized--one way or the other.<BR/><BR/>BeckyRebecca LuElla Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823550402103559922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10583449.post-1137691446222312172006-01-19T09:24:00.000-08:002006-01-19T09:24:00.000-08:00Ooh, news...
