@steve_buchheit I found the magic setting in TextEdit that turns off RTF, as God intended. (I'm used to Wordpad=RTF, Notepad=.txt)

@green_knight Aha! There's a setting "Ignore rich text commands in HTML documents". Guess what it does. Thanks!

Why won't TextEdit handle html files properly and let me see the code? Now I have to relearn all the emacs I forgot once I quit using pine.

Wonder if anyone will notice if I spend the rest of the write-in napping instead of writing.

Sore all over, and more yard work needs to happen tomorrow. But there's a new vegetable bed in the front yard!

@green_knight Do you have a book on structure that you like better? This one happens to fit what I was already doing (bc I'd read Swain).

@green_knight I guess. There's a lot of variation in "worse", like "things got worse but character doesn't know it yet".

@green_knight (What I didn't like re Bickham's excerpts was the genre and the maleness.)

@green_knight (I mean, how would I be able to tell?) I do plan to analyze some books and see how they use the patterns.

@green_knight From the examples, I don't think I'd like Bickham's books, but afaik I haven't read a book where the author used S&S.

@mhhall I've heard more criticism of it than good things. It addresses issues I'm working on now; earlier, it wouldn't have been as useful.

Bickham's Scene and Structure is my new favorite book on writing.

The only reason oblivious pedestrians are less annoying than oblivious drivers is because they're less likely to kill me.
