Don't get me started.<br />One of the mysteries in my Universe right now (and also in the general Universe) is why I found 'a' instead of 'I' more than once.<br /><br />I'm glad you liked it though.<br />Thank you :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07063803051094504408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660089177097719300.post-30085877271467404372014-05-06T14:20:45.781-07:002014-05-06T14:20:45.781-07:00Jana,

Of course, I'm extrapolating a hypothesis on anecdotal evidence with only <br />two anecdotes but this is writing---not scientific research. Thank the Great Maker! <br /><br />I will add one piece to #5. Sometimes it isn't the word you put in but the little word you forgot! The a's, an's, by's. All the little two letter words which can completely change what the sentence says. You're typing fast, the words are flowing out your fingertips, and life is good. You read the work in a gush of pride. (Man, I rocked my word goal today!) Everything looks good then a few days later you read or have it read aloud. What?? Surely I didn't. But you did.<br /><br />Well, that's me. But, yes, you hit the head of the nail on everything. :) Good work!! SE Hudnallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15803353589381122263noreply@blogger.com
