I saw many very intriguing things that I look forward to reading. 3nodding However, I have to ask you... Please tell me this is intentional. Infact, I'm almost sure it is, except for the fact that two lines down you write 'sentances' again. And... 'Writing?' Is that what you mean? You're a grammar nazi. Might as well call me a spelling one.

Testing Your Sentences... and Writing. I've got it. I suck at spelling. It is even worse when I type. Thank you for pointing them out.

Gypsy_Hart I think a Q & A thred would be an awsome idea. My only concern is that it would get too messy. People like the easy way out and will ask their question before the they read through the thread to find if their question as already been asked and answered. I fear we will have a lot of repeate questions. That, by the by, is why we have the little X button by the posts.....Oh I love being an admin. twisted

Hum, I've discovered that school is quite possibly the most unproductive endeavour in my life. In the last three days I have watched 6 movies, 4 of which I've already seen. And the German movie has English Subtitles. I haven't learned a thing in the last three days that I didn't already know.
And in better news. My Vocal Coord Disfunction should apparently exempt me from the draft. As apparently asthama also gets you exempt, and VCD is much, much worse.

Ok, New order of things. Why? 'Coz I say so!
The Mound is getting way too crowded and it's hard to tell what pieces are publish-worthy, what aren't.
Sooo....anyone editing anything in the Mound (please co-operate, don't edit one story a million different tiems by a gazillion different people.)
a) determines whether the piece is publish-worthy or not
b) contacts the author with a copy of their suggestions and edits, make sure the author is ok with everything (Take their suggestions in mind too!)
c) posts the revised story in the (Almost) Ready to Use thread
d) Alicemae looks through these and picks what get's published and what doesn't.
e) Deletes chosen piece from that thread.
Ok? Ok.

VCD is basically where your vocal coords start acting on the burnullie principle and close together instead of opening up when you try to breath.

All I can say is, "Make me."
And I seriously wish I didn't have school. Or that I had a better, more office like setting.
I really would like to be more professional with my writing. But I never can get that way because of all the other crap I have to take care of.

But I never can get that way because of all the other crap I have to take care of. Aw, poor Jahoclave! High school's almost over for you, though... Look forward to college. It's much better! Are you interested in judging Round Two perhaps?

Please PM me with any suggestions for the Writer's Aide thread. I want to keep it clean of conversation, so that it is cleaner better organized source for research and refrence. I am going to clean up the thread here in the next couple of days. I do have a lot of information. It is just going to take me a while to get it all posted. Again, if you have an idea, PM me. If you want to write an article yourself (and it is too long for a PM.) My e-mail address is born2bonstage@yahoo.com. I realy want this to be a refrence and research guide that we can post a link to in the press as well as select articles from for each issue. It is always better for the writter to search for the information himself. I want to give the gaians a place to look. Please help me keep the writer's aide thread clean. Do not post directley to it. PM me please.
