Remember me?
Sorry, blog friends. I remain in life-bankruptcy, doing nothing but editing. I have a week to go to get all my revisions in on the manuscript and so I’ve been locked in my office feeling as if I’m playing a video game called Kill The Extraneous ‘But’. But I am seeing air so you’ll have me back to kick around soon.

If, one day, you’re looking for a translator for the french edition, I’ll be glad to help

I am a poorish writer, looking to improve. I had to laugh at “killing extraneous buts.” It’s followed immediately by “But” I have a serious conjunction issue. I want to start every sentence with a conjunction to imply a connection to a previous thought. Internally it was connected. In writing starting a lot of sentences with “And, Or, Therefore, But” becomes a writers tick. Wish I knew the cure.
