Grammar Nazis have shackled me to a chain-gang of other aspiring writers, forcing us to correct each other’s pieces and take out every sentence fragment, every run-on sentence, every contraction, even. Β Our souls are bleeding from our bodies in a slow, torturous drip…ENOUGH. Β I open my eReader to Echo. Β Magic flash. Β Andy Dufresne appears beside me, finger pressed to his lips and telling me to stay quiet. Β But wait…he’s got glowing battle-axes, swords, and rifles strapped to him, and in his hands is a giant gatling cannon. Β “Andy,” I whisper, “Didn’t you get out of Shawshank using a rock hammer? Β What’s with all the weaponry?” Β He whispers back, “Do you know how long it takes to chisel through miles of dirt using a rock hammer? Β Remember, I got beat up and drilled in the butt for a good chunk of that time. Β I have a lot of unexpressed aggression.” Β He’s got a point. Β He picks my lock, hands me a sword and a rifle, then his face twists in glee and he pops to his feet, unloading his gatling gun onto the clueless Grammar Nazis.
If you’re in a tight spot, go apeshit with Andy. Β GetΒ Echo Vol. 1 on KindleΒ here: Β Vol. 1 on Kindle. Β Vol. 2 on Kindle here: Β Vol.2 on Kindle. Links for Vol.2 on Smashwords/Nook/iBooks/Kobo are available here: Β Echo on other platforms
