Hello:

The problem is, I write HERE. In fact, I have a body of work that spans over 10 years. What good is it? I had a blog once called askexcon.. But, they were already asking me questions HERE. So, it went kablooie..

I tried to write story's. But, my apostrophes were always in the wrong place. Anyway, I wrote one a long time ago, and I kept on promising my editor that I'd write more. I didn't. I was busy saving the world. So, if you run into my editor out there, tell her I'm sorry.

It is 'stories' not possessive 'story's'. I see the problem. You obviously are bored and couldn't find any worthwhile questions to get your teeth into.

You have an editor? :)

There's a website called Grammarly - English grammar checker, proofreader & plagiarism scanner which will check and correct your grammar and spelling for you. It's a subscription site, but not mad expensive, and you can get a trial week for free.

Good idea but I think exxy would rather suffer.

Your editor accepts your apology.

She has decided, now that she's retired, to shop your stuff to some publishing companies (NOT company's). Are you willing to forget her apathy, and move forward into a new dawn of wealth and fame? Send her a sample of some of the excon-type Q&As from AW, if you have them. Or she'll revisit it and glean a few. (There won't be a copyright conflict?)

Yes, suffering has it benefits, definitely. Look at all the attention you are getting from a really outré post.

Exy, I'd edit but I've been told that I have too many comma splices. I guess you and I are in the same boat writing wise.

I too have a great editor, she's the bomb. You may know her, she's a sweet lady that loves cats and despite my errors she still loves me. I think . ;)

I'll edit, but I can't guarantee your spelling...
