When it comes to parentheses, punctuation is like the family dog and your front door. They don't know if they want to be inside the parentheses or outside.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀:
✅ If the parenthetical is part of the sentence, put the period outside.
➡️ She finally finished the manuscript (after three rewrites).

✅ If the parenthetical is a complete sentence on its own, the period goes inside.
➡️ The editor finally approved the book. (Everyone was shocked.)

Quick rule:
👉 Inside the sentence = punctuation outside
👉 Whole sentence in parentheses = punctuation inside

Happy National Higher Education Day! While college isn’t for everyone, it was for me.

Today I salute all my professors at the University of Illinois, my alma mater. I wouldn’t be The Savvy Red Pen today helping authors write their books and assisting college-bound students write their college admissions and scholarship essays if I hadn’t hit the books there for five memorable years prepping to teach English.

Sure, that's one way to go. I'd probably just add a simple price tag on each doll and call it a day, but...okay.

Writers who take the 45-Day Writing Program are busy. They’re parents, entrepreneurs, night owls, early risers.
They don’t find time — they create it.
J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter in cafés while her baby napped. Toni Morrison wrote at 5 a.m. before her kids woke up.

If they can make time, so can you.

✍️ Word Nerd Alert: When “Same” Isn’t Really the Same

Ever notice how English loves to play tricks on us?
Here’s your quick guide to a few troublemakers.

✅ Homophones = sound the same, spelled differently
Examples:
to, too, two
their, there, they’re

✅ Homonyms = spelled the same but have different meanings
Examples:
bark (tree covering / dog sound)
wave (ocean movement / hand gesture)

✅ Homographs = spelled the same but often pronounced differently
Examples:
tear (rip) vs. tear (crying drop)
lead (to guide) vs. lead (the metal)

English: where one word can have multiple personalities and still expect us to keep up.

Isn’t this fun?
