Questioning my writing skills.

I have noted a few errors. Please forgive my noting these publicly, rather than in a private message. Note that there are other typos, but I make due with these.

Looks like I missed those too!

From my own experience I've found it frustrating checking my own work for spelling mistakes. It seems the more times I read it, the less likely I am to pick up the mistakes.

Oops, I just realized I was not reading the work in question. I would not mind checking your Astroboy fanfic for typos, but only in exchange for seeing the work in question, at least a few pages if it is long. How many words are in this work? I am now retired from school and work because of disability, and have little to do (worthwhile stuff anyway). As I have yet to start any projects, I have time for your work. However, I intend to create some web pages, so get it while the getting is good.

My strength lies not in literature, but in research papers. Still, I would like to expand my talents. So, please let me see some of the work in question.

That story got deleted a long time ago! And besides, I said before there was no way I was gonna put it up on the net. I wrote it bad on purpose. My writing teacher basically told me to not give her any more of my stories about murder and the supernatural.

Bah! If everyone did that we'd have no Sherlock Holmes, ET, Buffy, Charmed, Angel, Murder She Wrote, Inspector Morse/Dalgliesh/Poirot/Wexford/Lynley/Alleyn, the entire works of Stephen King, and the majority of Marvel comics. In fact, let's discourage any more contributions to a major part of world literature and entertainment while we're at it.

Still, if you can impress your teacher by deliberately writing something bad then you have teh p0wah! B)

ROTFLMAO!!! Thanks DrFrag and dragon_child, I really appricate your support as well as the support of everyone else here. It really means alot to me. I'm honored that you see me as an inspiration dragon_child and DrFrag, thank you again for being the awsome person that you and that you believe I have the power. I'm starting to feel alot better, so I'll probably start on chapter 6 sometime today. I got to talk to my best friend on the phone today too, so that helped out alot too. Besides, I know this is probably wrong of me, but I can always get back at him in one of my stories by having his dead body hang from a meat hook.

Atlas: Hey, I wanna piece of the b******!

Me: Really? Why the sudden urge to do me a favor?

Atlas: The guy is a jacka** that needs to get his a** kicked. Besides, I'm bored.

Me: *grins* Okay, go for it than!

Atlas: Yeah! *flies off*

Me: Hmmm, I'm gonna have to thank him for that little favor.....LIVIAN!

Livian: Yeah?

Me: How about a rematch in Soul Calibur 2? If you win, I'll get you that new CD you wanted.

Livian: And if I win:

Me: *whispers in her ear*

Livian: *pales* You can't be serious....

Me: Yep, very serious. Unless of course you're afraid to lose....

Livian: You're on!

Me: *grins* Excellent! Now if you'll excuse me everyone, I have game to play.
