All right already

~ Dan Baum

Can we nail something down and never return to it again? “All right” is always written just that way: as two words: “all right.” It is never “alright.” Ditto “a lot.” It’s always two words, not the one-word bastardization “alot.”

There. Done. I hope I never have to mention this again.

By the way, this blog will continue for a while, because despite a creditable effort, Margaret did not succeed in hiking me to death on the sun blasted, steep, rocky trails of  Canyonlands National Park this week. Canyonlands.jpg

A freelance writer for 30 years, I've written -- along with my wife and writing partner, Margaret Knox -- four non-fiction books, a daily column from post-Katrina New Orleans for the New Yorker's website, and lots of magazine articles. We also enjoying mentoring young and beginning writers. If you are eager to write for magazines or write a book, you might find my page of proposals helpful.
