Time to catch up on writing those missing blog posts for this past week and start in on next week's blog posts. Busy, busy, busy. :P about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac
I missed snail mail submission days. All you had to do was write & drop in mail. Although 50 manuscripts in circulation was PITA. #writechat about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac
@GLHancock Let me think about that and get back to you. :P #writechat about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac in reply to GLHancock
Here's a review of my short story ebook, "Some Bad Decisions," where I got skewered for misusing a succubi. succubus.net/blog/2012/04/2… #writechat about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac
The worse editors to deal with are those who insist on a WordPerfect file format since their college can't afford better. :/ #writechat about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac
@girl_onthego Longer/deeper/published version. I actually doubled the length of the original story. #writechat about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac in reply to girl_onthego
@girl_onthego Here's the first page of short story that was accepted after I made it longer and deeper. cdreimer.com/ebooks/fiction… #writechat about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac in reply to girl_onthego
@LexusLuke After having 40+ flash and short stories published in print, I think I have the practice part nailed down. :) #writechat about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac in reply to LexusLuke
@girl_onthego I seldom get feedback from editors unless they want a rewrite, which is often a request to write longer and deeper. #writechat about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac in reply to girl_onthego
Reading other writers - especially those boring literary writers - to learn different sentence structures. #writechat about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac
I think my grammar issues may be more of a style issue. I tend to use same kind of sentence structure over and over again. #writechat about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac

@GLHancock Which was why she had 250 stitches after I was born. From labor to birth: one hour. Didn't help I was a cannonball. #writechat about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac in reply to GLHancock
I was born with a typewriter! :) @Erynn @glhancock #writechat about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac in reply to Erynn
@GLHancock Just repeating what I heard as a young writer. Plus double space between sentences and count 250 words per page. :P #writechat about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac in reply to GLHancock
During my snail submission days, the old saw was you have to use MS Word because the editors used MS Word for grammar checking. #writechat about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac
I'm a high school drop out (9th grade). Although I have two associates degree (general ed and programming), my grammar sucks. #writechat about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac
What's the alternative to Word's grammar checker? @JohnElray #writechat about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac in reply to JohnElray
Is Microsoft Word grammar checker bad for ebooks? Or are reviewers referring to something else - style, maybe? #writechat about 2 hours ago via Twitter for Mac
