Oh, did I miss that by a country mile! I got "The" "That" and "Not" right. Do you give partial credit?
While on the topic of writing, I've been meaning to ask you if you'd think of writing a post on how you write. I mean, whatever you feel like mentioning, but I've always wondered if you sit down and it flows out almost the way it appears as you post. I can see you have no problem writing sequentially, judging by your WsIP. And you don't seem to need betas, either. To be honest, I have a sneaking suspicion you went down to the crossroads, a la Robert Johnson, and sold your soul to the devil for this uncanny ability to write such mesmerizing prose.
I will post the same, but mine is more along the lines of "write three words, erase two, and check the thesaurus on the third, since it's not exactly what I'm looking for. Then stick this part 3/4 along in the story."
