For the rest of my life. Gah! My heart started racing and I began to sweat, but I turn and look at the whiteboard behind my desk and read something I wrote a very long ago, so long ago it is probably now indelible: </p><p><strong>SPEED IN WRITING EQUALS MONEY.</strong></p><p>Hmmm. </p><p>Let's simply say I've enjoyed the heck out of it, squeezing blood outta that turnip, donating daily at the Mastodon blood bank. But as I reach the end, it's now like… can I really bring the story to a close in three more chapters? Why did I just add new characters? </p><p>Suddenly my heart is racing again and I begin to sweat.</p><p>As for "Grammar B," I just wrote a Scribes and Makers response that's a great example of it, though one of my followers (the English professor I wish I'd had in college) who cued me into my usage of it might have something to say about it. <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/114235855587217602" translate="no" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/11423585</span><span class="invisible">5587217602</span></a></p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoostingIsSharing</span></a> <br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writersOfMastodon</span></a></p>
