Pro Writing Aid is on such crack. I use actual line-breaks; it doesn’t recognize them as line-breaks and cries about “scenes bleeding into each other” and “mid-scene shifts in POV.” I use extra spaces, ditto, and same with several other ideas. It wasn’t even recognizing transitions, as it tends to. Well, I finally broke down and started writing this...
Quote****Scene (or) Scene and POV change****
************************************************************************...every time I change to a new scene, just to hammer it in for the programming. This does not make it onto the finished product; I replace it with a proper line-break before posting because my readers aren’t morons. Well, today, PWA has something new to cry about:
QuoteThe use of explicit text markers like "Scene and POV change" is an intrusive structural element that pulls the reader out of the narrative. These markers act as "speed bumps," breaking the immersion that a smooth narrative transition or a simple scene break should provide.
Make up your goddamn mind, you worthless pile of code! I can’t psychically implant into your processors that I’m changing the scene, and you can’t recognize that a scene is being changed, so what the hell am I supposed to do? Just let your tantrum drag down my writing score because you can’t find any actual errors that need to be fixed?!
I swear. My writing skills have improved since I started using this app for editing, but my blood pressure has worsened. It wouldn’t be such a pain in the ass if any of the errors I’ve reported had ever been addressed instead of just happening time and time again.

Had to order something called a “happy hoodie” for the old lady Siamew. She has an ear infection, is being treated for it, yet is now scratching furrows in her right ear. So, hopefully this will protect her ears from herself.

Geriatric cats can be mighty cranky 🤣

And once they stop being cranky… you know something’s wrong. Been there with the last one.

There are things I monitor with Nina as it is. I already lost her sister to kidney failure. Honestly, with thyroid issues and whatnot, the kidney problems were just a matter of time. Fortunately, Nina does not have the same issues as her sister did.
She is a smart old girl. She has figured out that the happy hoodie will not cover her ears as long as she doesn’t scratch. So it and the steroids the vet has her on have her on the road to recovery. The gash is scabbing over.
