    "I teach college English and I'm a freelance writer."

    Wow, it's my policy to immediately discount anything said by a person who introduces himself or herself by spouting credentials.

    Especially when the credentials seem so questionable. I'm sure that your students in "developmental English" at the community college, and the 16 devoted readers of your blog, are really impressed with you.

    I know I am.
