After the first revision of The Higher Mission was rejected because of continued grammar problems, I worked for a month on it again. I consulted Strunk and White's Elements of Style at Ms. Gill's suggestion, my Harper's Handbook, and Grammar Girl on the internet trying to straighten out my errors in verb conjugation. I went through chapter four of Strunk and White trying to correct my usage of the words in that chapter that we typically misuse. I have submitted it again for Judy Gill's look at it. She is the acquisitions editor at Burst Books. At the time she received it she was on a boating vacation so I expect a reply no sooner than the end of this month. She is very communicative and nice to work with. I've done about all I can do with grammar. If nothing else comes out of this I will have learned some grammar. That's a good thing.
No word yet on my Leroy and Jody romance novel submission. It's title is A Change of Heart.
