ASSIGNMENT ONE


Sorry Rhabbi,
No way we can ignore this or pretend you're Mishka.
First because she's so much prettier than you, and second because of the gender thing ya know. Lews may be slow but he picks up on basic anatomy things. Besides aren't you supposed to be working on some other assignment (no pressure)?

Mishka,
I empathize with you on the editing thing. I never really finish a story. I just get so tired of putzing (technical term for amateur editing) with it that I send it off to be posted. I then spend a week or two with regrets that I didn’t do this or change that, and then I move on.
Just ask Dragon's Muse I'm a comma abuser who can't spell worth beans. That's why god (or maybe Bill Gates) invented the spell checker. It's not a panacea but it helps.
Dangling participles are very dangerous as are split infinitives. If you won't take my word for it I'll have to introduce you to the story of Hope; believe me you don't want to go there. (Kilgore Pike did not die in vain, he died to keep Hope alive.)
Your sincerity and effort will surely be rewarded.
Mad Lews
