Please do not attempt to write a book until you know grammar.

That is all.

I thought bad grammar was considered artistic liberty?

Here, here! I once had to critique this story that was so poorly written, I just couldn't go on. It was taking hours! Finally I wrote, please consult Strunk and White. Bad grammar can really get in the way!! And that is an understatement!

PJ--I don't mind bad grammar as long as you know the rules before you break them :)

Christine--You're making me have flashbacks of my last year class on Grammar and Composition! It took me all year to get one kid to realize it wasn't spelled grammer!!!

Sheri--I agree totally! It's one thing to make a typo or a stylistic choice, but if you still don't know the difference between "its" and "it's" then ARGH!!!!

LOL!! I wholeheartedly agree. Bad grammar makes me stumble, and I hate stumbling. :)
