Re: Loooong delays (19 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Funny you should mention Grammarly, Marilyn. I only had it installed for a day before I kicked it out of my browser. It was intrusive and appeared on EVERY site that had an edit box or some form of operator interaction. I slowed down things badly. So, now it's gone and I still ahve delays - but only on tNBW.

Did you uninstall it, or did you just disable it in your extensions? I am far from a computer guru, but if you uninstalled it, it may not have uninstalled everything connected to it. I used to have a program downloaded (can't remember the name of it now because I am OLD!) that would do a complete uninstall for anything I wanted to delete completely. But that was probably 5 or 6 computers ago. You might google 'complete uninstall software' and see if you can find it. You might also want to make sure it's not still hanging around in your extensions. If so, you can disable it. I don't know what operating system you're running, but it's under my tools on Chrome.
Your problem sounds exactly like the one I have with Grammarly.

Do you have Grammarly downloaded and working in the background as you type? If so, that could be your problem. For some reason, it slows me down like you describe. I have to go to my extensions and disable it when I come on this site. It works fine anywhere else for me, just not here. Just a thought.

Re: Favorite Quotes (14 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I feel like I never write anything new because I'm constantly editing what I've already written! When do you draw the line?
It never ends! I have file after file of things I've written from long ago. Every time I open one of those files, I make changes in something. "What was I thinking when I said that?" LOL! I can spend hours editing my own stuff.

Re: Favorite Quotes (14 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
My all-time favorite is one from Mark Twain when someone asked him how he wrote such great novels. He replied, "I get up in the morning, put on a pot of coffee, light a cigar, and just start lying!”
I think about that quote every time I sit down to write fiction. My inspiration because I can do that, too!

Re: Level of review (12 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Basic)
Welcome, Jonathan,
Though I never say what kind of review I would like, I leave it open. I figure if you're gonna take the time to read my work, I will be pleased with anything you throw at me, good or bad. Constructive criticism works as well as praise for me. That's why I post here. My writing has improved twice over since I became a member of this site in 2008. And I'm still learning! So if you ever run across anything of mine that suits your fancy, feel free to share your feelings about it.

Hi, MrBillyD,
I tried to get into your short story, 'She Who is About to,' only to find that I can't because I'm not a member of the groups that you posted in. I sent you a connection request so I can find Chanitok High that you mentioned above. I would like to read it.
Welcome to the site. I look forward to reading your work.
