Say that Again

Okay, I'm trying a new editing technique. I'll have to let you know how it goes. To combat my insane urge to repeat some words over and over again, I did a find and replace search, replacing each high-alert word with the same word but in a highlighted format. After I found and replaced one word, I changed the highlight preference color and found & replaced another majorly-used word. I did that six times with the words:

WAS
THAT
LOOK
SIGH
TURN
TOWARD

Once they were all highlighted with different colors, I put the page on two-per-page view and just did a color find. If I found a color highlight too many times on one page (kind of like this page below), I went in and looked for a way to delete or change a few of them.



In other news, there are still A LOT of contests going around, giving away copies of my stories, so listed below are the currently open contests, upcoming contests, and winners from the latest contests. Congrats to all the winners!
