Dear Commas,

Why of why do you plague me? I know where you go, honest I do. Why will you not appear in the first drafts of any of my stories? My betas are tired of flagging you. Even if I didn't know where you went, I've been flogged to death enough now that you should be automatic. I still miss putting you into a draft even when I put you in red and circle you on the rough. Why do you hate me so? I swear you just disappear after I put you into my story.



And in other news my uncle just won another 13,000$ on the slots. I think I hate him.

I think I hate him, too. [pout] Though, I never gamble, so it's not like I give the machines a chance to love me. :)

Oh, I've had the hardest time getting through the story. I think it's the freaky tenses in the first paragraph. Though, it could just be me.

okay I'll go look at that. chances are there are tense change problems there

*Giggle*

I was going to say something about the "Case of the Missing Commas".

:o)

And damn! I wish I had that kind of luck. *Shakes Head*, but good for him.

Oh I suck. And I seriously DO know where they go

You're a good writer... I'd take that over having comma issues anyday!

Stupid Commas. I tend to get comma happy. Then it just turns into a big comma orgy. Hey! Maybe all of your commas are coming to my comma orgy.

...it could happen.

*nod nod*

And omguh I need to go to Vegas again.

that could be where my commas are escaping to damn them

My uncle is so lucky.

I have the same problem. I swear my beta reader is going to beat me over the head with commas someday.
