Many thanks for the kind comments, Jube.  That would be something, wouldn't it? 

Just did a second read-through of DA to check my proposed changes and sent it back. Everything looks good to go, so I'm just waiting on them now.:)

Many congrats, Denise!

Welcome to the site--it's a good place to be with plenty of helpful people.  I can't help you much with your request as I use Microsoft Word for my manuscripts, but someone will undoubtedly have a suggestion or two for you.

Many thanks for sharing, Ann!

Completed inline reviews of alkemi's The Souring Seas, chapters 30 and 31.

Completed an inline review of CJ's Raven's Curse, chapter 32.

It's sad to see the small businesses disappear. It's one of the things that made America great. Now we're subjected to the whims of bigger and bigger comments.

When we sold our house in May, we didn't pay an electric bill (for 53 cents) because we were vacating in six days. In addition, their online system wouldn't accept a payment less than $1.00. They threatened to disconnect my service if I didn't pay within two weeks. When I got the final bill, I ended up giving them a dollar as it was cheaper to do that (final bill was 88 cents) rather than writing a check and adding a stamp.

The same electric company is after the owner of where I'm staying right now, pending approval of my British visa. The electric company installed a new digital meter a few days before I moved in, so the meter read 000 kilowatts used. The beginning of July, the owner received a bill for over $700 as they estimated he had used 2,714 kilowatts. The meter read eleven. The beginning of August, he received a bigger estimated bill for 3,352 kilowatts used and he owed over $1,200. The actual meter reading: sixteen kilowatts. They refuse to send someone out to check the meter because they can't get an actual reader meeting and they've done away with the people going around reading the meters. But they did send someone to disconnect the power. Another example of big business trying to intimidate consumers.

Completed an inline reviews of Matthew's A to O Krudges:The Girl Who Lost the Earth, Book 1, chapters 29 and 30. Appears I've finished Book 1.

I agree with Vern and Ann.  Since becoming a writer, I do spot things in various novels I'm reading. I think we become attuned to what we've learned and it becomes more noticeable. Can't change what's already published, so just enjoy reading.:)

Whether Ellison likes it or not, he can't override the 1st Amendment. Hopefully, Bezos stands up to him.

Many thanks, Jube. Greatly appreciate your help throughout.
