All Part of the Job

From the time I purchased this new computer (Pete), that little man popped up on the Word Processor to ask if I wanted to save the changes I made in the document. I never liked him and got James, my techspert, to get rid of him for good in the old machine. But then he still existed in the new Pete. When this annoyance showed up this time, I noticed “Options" and clicked on that. I hope you have what I found, a cute little jigsaw puzzle, of four pieces in four colors, that come apart and then fit together again when he finishes a job. And just so you won’t forget it, I suppose, about every page of typing, it slowly spins around on one point. It’s fun to see it!

A note to you young writers, or beginning writers, out there. If you write genre stories, this may help, but not necessarily if you write literary ones. The Net says James Patterson, a suspense king, writes short sentences in short paragraphs in short chapters. Those four elements—suspense, short, short, and short—truly make a fast page-turner.
