This Week's Check In

[przed.livejournal.com]

It's time for this week's writer check in.

Inspired by merentha13's suggestion of an online slang dictionary, I thought I'd include a few other Brit checking resources:

List of British word not widely used in the U.S. (Pretty much as advertised, a big long list of Brit-specific words)

U.K. vs. U.S. spelling (For when you're debating using "ise" or "ize")

Dictionary of English Slang (This one's my personal fave)

And inspired by my own incipient panic, how about a poll on how we're all doing:
[Poll #1737374]

Bodie and Doyle are very curious to hear how you're all doing...

I'm feeling much better this week about my story. I've had it preliminarily read and now I'm rewriting so it's progressing. That's such a good feeling. I won't be happy until it's been really gone through at least twice more after I do this first rewrite.

What surprises me when I read a story I've written a couple of weeks after I've got to the end (not finished by any means) is how awful my sentence structure is. It makes me cringe! I wish I could write pretty sentences. *sigh* Maybe when I grow up!

What's sentence structure? *Sucks thumb and tries to concentrate* (Now you know why my story is finished so quick!!!!)
