I'm nervous enough Carl I don't need to listen for the flap of a Furies wings just yet.

From the few interactions I've had with the writing mods they must have the Wisdom of Solomon, the Patience of a Saint, the Courage of a Spartan , the Tact of a Diplomat and the sharp eyes of a Surgeon.
To each and every one of you who are involved in the process of verifying all the stories we submit, you're all outstanding people and even from this remove. Thank you for the huge amount of hard work you put into keeping this wonderful site running and keeping us writers on our toes.

As a new writer here still grappling with getting my first tale verified, I found asking someone who has gotten stuff verified to read your tale and let you know if it works.
Sometimes we're so close the work we can't see the imperfections and flaws.
Getting feedback can be bruising but I'm hoping it makes me a better writer. Best of luck getting your first tale verified, I'm sure it will be a proper sizzler.

I've been wrestling with getting my first story verified and have been going through reformatting it to meet the standard.
I thought it might be helpful to ask the boneheaded question.
Is there a tool or anything to help a new writer actually put the mess of words into the good clean format?
So far I'm running mine through Grammarly, the inbuilt checker on the board, and through the wonderfully unhelpful Microsoft Word.
I just want to find the easiest way to make sure when I submit something, that it's laid out the way it needs to be to make it as easy as possible for a reader to check it for errors.
I can't be the only new writer grappling with this, some how do my fellow new starters get over that first fence and get something verified?

Thought I'd pop by and buy everyone a drink. You're a fine group of people to get completely blasted with and talk intensely about utter rubbish.
I love you all dearly.

Where did I leave my thesaurus?

My ever fickle muse has decided to be kind to me today and helped me complete a first draft of a new story and re-edit one that had song lyrics in it to something I made up.
For all the writers here, may your imagination be at its filthiest, may the words pour like notes from a pianists fingers, may your word processor never crash and may you never need a second draft.
Slainte!

Sneakily remove a single cufflink and let him try to find it when he gets home.

Very politely pass but share a Cookie because I'm kind.

@James it's always a pleasure to discuss such things, and swap technical notes.
@Fuzzy Have a wonderful day, enjoy your Jameson. One of the finest daily whiskeys.

I mean I@ve done it on an Altar, on a hilltop instead of in a church, and that was only because the other person really wanted to celebrate the change of the Season.
I'm a polite woman, when I'm sweetly asked to do something by a very willing lover, I'm unlikely to say no.
It just wasn't a kink of mine, and still isn't.
