Most of the time it's not just my devices that are not "smart."

2020 isn't that far away!!!!

Remind me not to write about ancient Egypt. I don't imagine I would use those words every day. How about "confiscable" (if the spell checker will let it through)?

Don't hide! They're worth reading and sharing.

This looks like something worth trying. Thanks, Spaulding.

Johne, you always post such helpful articles. Thank you. (I hope you have some time to write while you're finding all these goodies.)

Good thing to know. Thanks.

Thank you, @Spaulding, for sharing this with us. Yes, we tend to dwell on the negative on such matters. Good luck in your journey.

I think the evil-as-ugly stereotype has been around for a long time. Certainly the handsome-as-good has been around since before Samuel went looking for Israel's second king. Probably the opposite was also true.

In theory, we can now post the pictures smaller. Let me try. Oh well, bigger cookies are better anyway.

So maybe "Like ... epic" every paragraph?

I have cookies! I haven't served them in a long time!

That makes it easier for children and adults to divide the world into "us" and "them." Not just Disney, we're all good at that.

How many times can you use it in a chapter to boost your word count?

Hmmm. I think when I get into novels, I'll write westerns. They're the shortest.
