249/365 Anita

introduces herself as Tim and I gear up in the lodge’s parking lot. Her husband’s fishing with a guide; she’s got MS and can’t wade water like this anymore. She’s fresh from a Casting for Recovery weekend and is gushing like a spring creek.

Consider the importance of the comma. Had you written, "Anita introduces herself as Tim, and I gear up in the lodge’s parking lot," Anita's sexual identity would have come into question.

And if Anita reads this, I fervently hope she has a generous sense of humor.

S: LOL! As an editor, I truly appreciate you pointing this out. The comma is a powerful tool. (And fear not--I cannot imagine Anita would read this, and my brief impression of her is that she would laugh!)
