You're fine, but giving her too much time
If you don't have to scrape her off your shoe, ignore her.
Your writing is fine. You know the rules, and are allowed to break them to make your script read the way you want it to sound.
Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach, become editors... ;)

Agreed
I've been spending way too much time trying to negotiate carefully with her and protect the reunion comittee. It's time I started giving her less power over me, and somehow I intend to find a way. If you don't have to scrape her off your shoe, ignore her. Your writing is fine. You know the rules, and are allowed to break them to make your script read the way you want it to sound. Can I quote you to her with that sometime? I like that.... hmmmm it might make a great sig, also.... with a few words changed.... Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach, become editors... ;) Yep. And there always seem to be too darn many of em! Brenda

Well, yeah... but we were talking about writing...
and I suspect that a lot of the writing critics out there got to their exalted position after reading a matchbook "You too can be an editor! Find the unpicked nit..."

Nope, My sister the middle school teacher's coffee cup says
"Those that can't teach go into some other, less significant line of work."

I was just being a smartass.
I have the greatest respect for good teachers. It was supposed to be a funny.

Being a smartass? On this board? No. Say it isn't so.
