First submission - just about ready - totally jazzed

[Rob_Royale]

I finished my first story tonight. Still got final proofreading and polishing to do, but I've been doing that as I wrote, going back to re-read what I wrote the day before. But I'm really very happy with the story. It's a sweet and romantic take on the old "My Best Friends Mom" shtick. It's 35 pages in MSWord and 18300 words.
I haven't done a lot of writing in some time. As it turns out, grammar IS one of those things that comes back to you. Mine won't be perfect but I'm gonna try and not embarrass myself. Thanks goodness for word search. For some reason, my brain has difficulty typing "her", instead it types "here". With word search I was able to get those all sorted out. I'm also going to have to do a "she" search and see if I should replace it with a proper noun. Probably about a thousand of those.
Though she won't see this I'd like to do a quick shout out to thanks my awesome wife, of 30 years, who was totally not shocked and supportive when I told here (see? that's so weird) what I wanted to do here.

Be seeing you.

Congrats, as a person who has also wrote a "my best friend's mom" story. They're fun and around for a reason, who didn't/doesn't have a friend whose mom you would want to get with?

You can proofread forever and when you publish you'll still find something within the first couple of paragraphs. You should probably be okay as far as trolls, but if you get one or two (Which would probably only happen if your main character's friend's mom is still married.) know it's more about them than you.

That is some great advice. I downloaded the app. It found a few (cough, 200+) errors. Thank you so much.
