The original sentence:
That made me laugh out loud.
MS Word’s suggested “grammatical” revision:
That made me laughs out loud.
And again I say JOB SECURITY.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Pickles is as much work as a newborn baby, and even more since newborn babies can’t run around your house and pull things down on themselves or leap off the couch and stun themselves. However, she does sleep occasionally, and that’s allowed me to get a LOT […]

Cute as she is, Pickles is a lot of work! This has been a small taste of what it will be like when I have kids. (Note to self: Wait a few more years). I’m hoping to get back to regular entries tomorrow now that she’s acclimated, and I’ll try to shut […]

Okay, so this is totally unrelated to writing, but it’s the weekend and it’s cute, so I know you’ll make an exception–and think of it as research for my first Dog Fancy query.
I’ve never liked small dogs. I always thought of them as wannabe cats. Yet I am completely enamored of a three-pound, […]

Meet the newest member of the King household: Pickles.
Is this the cutest face you’ve ever seen, or what?

Dear Mom,
No, I do not wear pajamas all day on a regular basis–once or twice a month, max, unless I’m sick. Yes, I get dressed, and even I shower.
Love,Kristen

No, really! Tonight is the first night of my third semester in the publishing MPS program at George Washington University. This semester I’m taking Marketing Strategies and Production Management. And you thought COPYRIGHT LAW was fun… Actually, Copyright Law was fun. Book Design, on the other hand, sucked. But […]

I’ve seen this around a few times, but today I finally found the URL for the list of the Top 10 Unintentionally Worst Company URLs. I can’t decide which is my favorite.
Can you come up with any others that would be equally or almost as bad? Post them in comments. I’ll be […]
