In other news, I think I've found a way to get me to work harder on the novel. It works like this.

1. Finish a chapter.
2. Add 1500 words to my Bigbang.
3. Repeat.

Also, I'm watching an A&E special on Teena Brandon and I kinda hate people right now.

Doesn't the sudden capitalization of the last half of the question count for anything? Maybe, like, half a point?

Ms. Grammatica will consider this.

Upon consideration, Ms. Grammatica believes that the random capitalization *does* qualify. We have a trifecta.

Ms. Grammatica will now retire to her room and collapse in depression.

::laughs:: It was made for me years ago, after I wrote a series of lectures for a writing list under the "guise" of the inimitable Ms. Grammatica.

Ms. Grammatica is often forced to take to her bed in exhaustion with her lavender-scented handkerchiefs. And always refers to herself in the third person :D
