  1. Yeah, and those little nowhere towns, too
  2. In the future, that is the intention. Right now, the default preset time is the limit and it makes it a real pain if you want to post at the same time each day. So, I set it to 24 hours. After we get some more software tweaks, this will change a bit.
  3. Questions in the Poll ask about features posted in our Writing World Blog: Be sure to check it out, if you haven't! And if you aren't familiar with the features mentioned, now is a great time to check them out.

  5. Hey, we are taking a break! Because I'm already at 40 hours for my work week and it's only Wed. We will resume as soon as my schedule allows.
  6. You are also limited to 1 chapter per 24 hours in the system, which the system now enforces.
  7. There us an issue with check that effects the backwards dating. It is being worked on.
  8. You know you guys can create public collections of recommended stories and share them, such as in your signature. Or if you an author, use that for promoting older stuff...
  9. Welcome to a new week for Grammar Guides! This week is all about the humble apostrophes their main usages and the one of the most messed up set of words in the English language. Apostrophes are punctuation marks that are used in three primary ways: Contractions - uses an apostrophe to replace missing letters in combined words such as "They are" being replaced by "They're" To Show Possession - Uses an apostrophe to show ownership. ex: The cat's ball. The cats' balls. To make a plural in special circumstances. The most common is when we are making plurals of letters or numbers as: 2's, 3's, i's, and t's The Dreaded Its vs It's "It" and the apostrophe drive people bonkers. Because English. Unlike all other situations where 's shows possession, 's with it is a contraction. Its is the possessive form of it. Contraction: It's the butler! (quick check: it's is a stand in for "it is") Possession: A cat is its own master. (quick check: it is makes no sense here, so "its" it.) References: Kern, Jara. (2020).
