      The list of all the topics they've covered makes it really easy to find whatever topic you need practice on.

    This blog is great for learning and brushing up on grammar. It posts a lesson on a different grammar rule every day, with sentences to practice that particular rule. It focuses on a different rule every month. I mostly like that it provides a lot of grammar practice, because it can be really hard to find a lot online.

      The tags help with finding their posts on various rules, editing mistakes and news in journalism. I personally think that they did a good job tagging their most popular and helpful subjects.

      The post with rules on the most current events is always at the top, so it's easy to find. It's a little annoying that there is no way to look at archived posts, but I think the blog might be fairly new.

      Jordan - this Gatehouse blog is very cool. Thanks for sharing.

    This is a blog run by editors at Gatehouse Newsroom. The rest of the website has a lot of resources for journalists, but the Editing Words blog is a great resource specifically for editors. They post AP Style rules and tips that pertain to current events, for example, the have a post explaining how to refer to "Obamacare" in stories.

      I like this idea of "practicing" verbs. It's not a waste of time to practice accurately describing what you're seeing. Carry a notebook with you and try to absorb something every day.

      At some of my internships I've found myself writing a similar story over and over. I've never thought of switching it up with verbs alone.

      The writing I admire most is writing that commits to an idea, however scary that may be as an author.
