A Warning

Yesterday I opened my eJournal and was greeted by a note from Microsoft:

There are too many spelling or grammatical errors in “Journal_2011″ to continue displaying them. To check the spelling and grammar of this document, choose Spelling and Grammar form the Tools menu.

I thought that was a bit harsh. It’s a Journal! I didn’t ask for a stealth proofreader. It’s for my eyes only, a place where I ramble.  I’ll admit, it’s a long document, over 127,000 words. You read that right. Theoretically, I could have written another novel for all the whining, moaning, despairing, exclaiming, analyzing, criticizing, describing, complaining, self-reassuring, and vowing I did in that document in the course of a year.

Tomorrow I’ll open a fresh Microsoft Word document: Journal_2012. I’ll try to watch the run-on sentences this year, Microsoft.

If you’re in the mood for one last (sort of) holiday story, check out my flash fiction piece: The Sword of Vengeance
