Language Pet Peeves from the English Teacher’s Daughter (they’re back!)
New pet peeve #1: “walking the walk.” Isn’t it supposed to be: “walking the talk?” Who doesn’t walk when they walk? Putting words to action makes sense. Walking the walk is just plain redundant! – signed,the (far from grammatically perfect) English teacher’s daughter
Am I wrong?

About this Blog
I started this blog to create a "salon" type atmosphere where aspiring and seasoned authors, book lovers and lovers of the creative process can convene. My contribution is a mix of what's going on at my day job at HCI Books and beyond. And, beyond, in my imagination casts a pretty wide net.Creative posts are welcome but must fit in to the prevailing theme. (Say "book" a couple of times in your post, at least!)
I'm PR Director at HCI for 14 years, consulting on the side, blogging, and studying operatic singing. I'm mother to Tito, Kiwi, Rashi and Mochi, three tweety birds and one puddy cat, respectively. I live high up over the beautiful intracoastal waterway and Atlantic ocean and I love snapping scenic photos on my iphone. I love the beach, and would be happy just pitching a tent there (with air conditioning).
Welcome.
