Feeling pretty proud of myself after this morning

I had the choice of three things to do this morning:  writing, editing or studying.

 

I eventually chose editing.

 

While my weekly virus scan has been chugging along, I've managed to edit two ECBs and I'm hopefully gonna edit the lower MG novel that I wrote during April too, so I've achieved a pretty decent amoutn this morning.  Just waiting for the weekly backups to finish and I'll hopefully be able to edit the lower MG MS this afternoon.

 

It was tough trying to summon up the motivation this morning, but now that I've got started, I wanna keep going!

 

Might try and do some research into twins who don't live in each other's pockets while I'm waiting, in preparation for my next MS, but dunno for sure yet... wanna see how quickly the back-ups move before I decide for sure.  It says there's about 50 minutes to go, so I think I *will* start the research after all.

 

Wish me luck!

Alright and all right

I'm a member of SCBWI in the BI region and there has been a discussion on the FB page about when to use the words 'alright' and when to use 'all right'.

I reckon that if you can put another word between the 'all' and the 'right' then you should use the spaced spelling (eg all the right questions) but if you can't then it's the non-spaced version (I'm alright Jack).

What do you reckon?  When should you use the spaced version and why?  When should you use the single word version and why?
