Auto Summarize Your Novel For Fun and No Profit
f you haven't yet seen Joel Stickley's How To Write Badly Well, you're missing lots of fun reverse writing tips.
His most recent post mocks Word's Auto Summarize feature, something I didn't know existed. It's a completely useless programme, seemingly, but good for a few laughs.

I also tried the 25% summary option and got more repetitions of other characters' names with a few grins and smiles thrown in. Wasn't that fun boys and girls? At least I know I'll be getting rid of all those grins when it comes time to edit...
Thanks to all of you that have come over from Karen's BBQ Blog Party and followed me!

wasn't Karen's BBQ a great idea?
I have always thought auto summarize was one of Word's better features :-)
