LOL. An exchange like this on another site I can name (that begins with the letters Booksie), would have resulted in exactly the above-named devastation. This thread should be made a sticky as it contins something for everyone.

"rose" or possibly "came to his feet" might work as well.

I can't think of a single person I've ever talked to about writing that hasn't gone through the same thing. It's happened to me many times. My favorite method for breaking through the doldrums is to build a scene in my virtual railroading program or go flying. Both hobbies will keep your mind so busy you don't have time to overthink a particular roadlbock in your novel.  Often enough your subconscious will provide a clue--the very key you need to turn your negatives into positives.

The writing I've done as little as a year ago is subject to my staring at it and wondering how the heck I managed to write such drivel. I gleefully rip out whole paragraphs, slash every adjective in the story, cream comma splices, and turn all tells into shows. Other times, I'll stare at it for ten minutes, then go have a cup of tea.

Trust me, you'll get through it.

I received the same email, Marilyn. Great software. I signed up for the Lifetime option. Their technical support is outstanding. I've been a member for a couple of years. I've been their Beta tester for a year now.

Today is December 3, but it is Monday, not Saturday.

Same here. 10 seconds while "waiting for thenextbigwriter.com" on Google Chrome.

I'd rewrite the second sentence as:

"Me, the paramedics, and Father Coppola, who's waiting at the police tape."

May not be grammatically correct, but it's how I'd speak the line.

How about "Bad Santa" (1 and 2)?

Try this page. it's in Italian, but Chrome translates it just fine. It is the EU rights as affects Italy.

The page was derived from the footnote references for Italy on this page:

European Directive 2012/13/EU (which is cited above) is Here:

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/Le … 010:en:PDF

As for the actual spoken rights to a suspect, I'd use the US version as a guideline and add/subtract whatever is/isn't in the EU version.

Or, you could "make him a deal he cannot refuse".

Could be nothing you're doing, Charley. We've been hit by quite a few strange things lately, caused by our hacker friend.
