Grammar Anxiety?

Sometimes I have grammar anxiety. Not so much as it relates to writing on my blog, but for certain writing projects. I fear dangling a participle (no one wants to see that),  misplacing quotes,  using too many commas,  or not controlling shifts in verb tense .   In some ways the fear is irrational, but real none the less.

I have found some help. If you suffer from grammar anxiety I suggest the following:

I just reinvent the rules and make up my own grammar - it relieves a lot of the tension. :-)

Break free from the grammar-ness irrationality.
