I hate that I write with so many grammatical errors. I end sentences in prepositions. I use too many commas. I'm sure I have dangling participles everywhere.
I'd really like to work on this. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I've tried reading grammar books, but , ohhhh, so dry. I'd love to take a writing class, but where to find the time?
So I write with my poor grammar and I sheepishly hope that no one is going to call the grammar police on me. And please, if you ever read something that desperately needs to be fixed, please please please let me know in the comments section. I'd love to have the constructive criticism and proof reading. Really.

Hi, I know exactly how you feel. I'm fakin' it as a writer because I barely know my grammar. I teach my kids and they know more about past participles than I do. It's totally and downright embarrassing.
A few years ago, I took the bull by the horns, and signed up for an on-line grammar class. You have one year to complete the lessons (which is plenty of time) and you get your own personal teacher who corrects your work and gives you tips. The class I took was through Writer's Digest online, and cost about $199. I felt it was well worth it. This is the class I took:

Good luck, and happy grammar!
Thanks for the tip. It sounds like it might be a worthwhile challenge!!
