How is it going otherwise with your novel?<br /><br />Lynn: I tend to use the dots when I am in a chatroom. I don't know why I do it but it is better than all of the other incorrect stuff I see. LOL<br /><br />Michael: I use the word "that" a lot and like to draw things out as well. *Sighs<br /><br />One day at a time.Jennifer Ruth Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04699005759754946494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153239170529797909.post-20381508241156884442011-03-09T17:18:56.001-06:002011-03-09T17:18:56.001-06:00I'm too verbose.

Just taking these out, brought my word count down 1,000 words. Over use of commas. Uh oh. You discovered my lazy way. I'm thinking of installing an electric node in my computer, keyed to my common errors. But (zap) I can't figure out how.
