Notes - not much choice / ch. word frequencies / weak vocabulary?

        Shortly after noon. You have finished the corrections and Word statistics for chapters one through four. You have your StoryMill statistics to do as well. Carol is watering the grass and you have to put the plants you bought yesterday into the ground sometime today. Otherwise, it is a good, pleasant day (windows are presently open) so far. – Amorella

         1215 hours. I am not sure what to put down with the StoryMill. I don’t think I did anything to the first chapter other than it gives me a word count per word. It is a good way to check if I am using the same words too much. This has been more work than I expected. I had forgotten to include Brothers 2 in the final drafts of both Word and Page. There are still errors corrected on Word and not on Page. I have to get them both on iCloud so I can sync the material.

         It is easier if you do this as you go along than try to come back and tinker or re-work. We are not going to continue until everything is up to par and in sync. – Amorella

         This doesn’t give me much choice.

         It is not supposed to. Take a break and post. - Amorella

         Late mostly sunny afternoon. You are behind the local Miami University building on north Cox Road facing northeast in the shade at VOA Park. Carol is on page 196 of Woods’ Bel-Air Dead. You worked on StoryMill software and copied ‘Word Frequencies’ for each chapter. – You stopped at Smashburgers for supper before coming home as dusk is beginning to settle in. – Amorella

         1803 hours. I have done what needs to be done for the moment. However, I am not sure what the Word Frequency means.

         What do you think, boy? – Amorella

         1854 hours. I think I have a weak vocabulary. I am not seeing these words in context but it shows me laziness. I need to work on this.

         Let’s do this tomorrow. Keep in mind that casual dialogue is what it is; otherwise though we can work on it. - Amorella

         I did not write down all the words even repeated.

         Moderation is most always a virtue, young man. Post. - Amorella
