Comment from Bill Schott
This twelve-word poem, No Problem, has the required word count and seems to have used up the words available.
I saw your note on 'the notes'. It is a problem that has lasted years, so the fix is on us. What I have done is replace apostrophes with asterisks. It looks odd initially, but it is easier to understand when read. I*m suggesting that.

Hopefully I fixed that apostrophe problem. Someone suggested I go into my settings and remove something, and so I did. Then I did see that same suggestion posted somewhere on this site, but I don't remember where, just like I don't remember what it is I removed. Not very electronically minded, and still learning my way around this site. Thanks for your review for No Problem.

Welcome to FS, Jeano. I saw your review to me and I thought I would come and find you first. One other woman here and I often love to welcome people and I am not sure how I missed you, but it is so good to meet you now. If there is anything you need, I am here to answer questions or help in anyway I can. Even tho you have been here since Nov so you are doing well. My offer still stands.
I love this poem. My screen time is up..... Yes, I know it is, but when it's telling me that I have 20 hours average per day, should I be worried. LOL. I really don't but it is on on one of my either three iPads or two computers at all times. And for my eyes and health, I am suppose to be limited, but oops! So this was wonderful. Great job and it is so good to meet you. I hope we can be good friends. Debi

Hi Debi, thank you for the sweet note. I am trying to read ?all? the words to learn how it goes on this site. I?m really liking it so far. I guess I don?t understand the promoting aspect, but it?s slowly sinking in. It?s going to take a little time to master the learning curve on here just like everything else. Thanks again for the nice welcome.
Write on!

LOL, I felt like I drove Tom crazy with questions about promoting. Once you get it, it will come so natural. However the way to get the promotion member dollars is a different story. Myself I don't review as much as I would like. It seems by the time I have thanked everyone for my reviews, I have no more time left. So I pay out of my pocket to promote and that is what you do if you want the reviews to come to you, or else you review others and get the member dollars added to your account. Yes, it is confusing. Looks like you are doing everything right here, but remember I am here.

I can offer a few suggestions too on things that I notice you might be able to use.
You know those ??? that keep popping up instead of your apostrophes? Well those are easily cleaned up if you go into settings of your computer or iPad and look for smart punctuation. Then turn that off and that is supposed to get rid of those nasty question marks when you aren't even asking a question.

I will try that. Thank you, Debi.

That reminded me of my childhood when I was limited to twenty minutes on my dad's computer which took eighteen minutes to boot up. A simple but meaningful poem. Nicely written.

Thank you for your review. Maybe your dad was using you to boot up his computer. LOL Glad you could relate.

My screen time also is up. It's bedtime! Just enough time to say best wishes in this contest. The only concern is that which happens regularly on this site, out of your control. The notes have a mind of their own and produce question marks and unnecessary punctuation, usually when you use apostrophes.

Jim, thanks for reading and reviewing No Problem. Thanks for the heads up regarding question marks. Maybe that?s why some writers here on this site just use a period? I did suggest to one writer to use contractions in his/her dialogue to make it sound more authentic. You say in the notes. Is that only in the notes?

i am not 100% sure, but it seems to pop up mainly in the author's notes. I always have to go through and correct it when I have apostrophes there.

I saw the mess in my notes. Maybe someone needs to work on that!

I wish I could help, but I, and just about everyone on FS, seem to be victims!
