Littlem, maybe you should

It can be quite liberating. Free yourself from the dreaded lower-case!

Dave, true

Is it possible to add emphasis to something that is already emphatic?

Fiona, thank you very much!

That is quite a list. I will be sure to check them out though. Thanks!

We are making a community of words and people and if you get shouted at

too often, you tend to turn down the volume on your ears, eventually switching them to MUTE.

I'm all for emphasis, but it's only emphasis if used sparingly.

Not quite sure -

but then I don't really use caps lock in the locked position much. You mentioned on Ariala's blog that it's difficult to get published so Aunty Fiona decided to come encourage you. I was also battling to get published and was a bit despondent. Then I read up a bit on the subject and discovered that my whole approach marked me as an amateur. I now target markets correctly and write good query letters and have thus been recieving a good income from writing. Here is a list of helpful websites that I compiled for writers. Hope it helps.
